In-Depth Information
To choose whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on your iPad
or on your mail server:
Tap Advanced and then choose the setting under Mailbox Behavi-
ors Stored On My iPad or Stored On the Server. You can decide for Drafts, Sent Messages,
and Trash. If you choose to store any or all of them on the server, you can't see them unless
you have an Internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular). If you choose to store them on your iPad,
they're always available, even if you don't have Internet access. Under Mailbox behaviors, in
certain circumstances, you also get to determine whether to delete or archive discarded mes-
sages.
We strongly recommend that you don't change these next two items unless you
know exactly what you're doing and why. If you're having problems with sending or receiving
mail, start by contacting your ISP (Internet service provider), e-mail provider, or corporate IT
person or tech department. Then change these settings only if they tell you to. Again, these
settings and exactly where and how they appear vary by account.
To reconfigure mail server settings:
Tap Host Name, User Name, or Password in the Incom-
ing Mail Server or Outgoing Mail Server section of the account settings screen and make your
changes.
To adjust Use SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Settings, or Server Port:
Tap Advanced
and then tap the appropriate item and make the necessary changes.
And that, as they say in baseball, retires the side. You're now fully qualified to set up e-mail ac-
counts and send and receive e-mail on your iPad. But, as the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs was
wont to say, there is one more thing . . . .
Getting the iMessage
The Messages app lets you exchange iMessages, pictures, contacts, videos, audio recordings, and
locations with anyone using an Apple iDevice with iOS 5 or higher or with a Mac running OS X
Mountain Lion or OS X Mavericks.
In the following sections, find out how each of the iMessages features works.
Sending iMessages
Tap the Messages icon on the Home screen to launch the Messages app, and then tap the Compose
New Message button, the little pencil-and-paper icon in the upper-left corner of the screen (on the
Messages list) to start a new text message.
At this point, with the To field active and awaiting your input, you can do three things:
