How to make iphone mail refresh automatically
There are a few ways to make the iPhone Mail app refresh automatically:
Method 1: Enable Push Notifications
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on "Mail" (not "Mail, Contacts, Calendars").
- Toggle on "Push" to enable push notifications for your email account.
- Make sure your email account is set up to receive push notifications. You can do this by going to your email account settings and looking for the "Push" or "Notifications" option.
Method 2: Use a Third-Party Email Client
Some third-party email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook or Spark, offer automatic refresh features. You can download and install one of these apps to see if it meets your needs.
Method 3: Use a Jailbreak
If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can use a tweak like "Auto Refresh Mail" or "Mail Refresh" to automatically refresh the Mail app at set intervals.
Method 4: Use a Script
You can use a scripting app like Automator or IFTTT (If This Then That) to create a script that refreshes the Mail app at set intervals. Here's an example of how you can do this using Automator:
- Open Automator and create a new workflow.
- Add a "Run Shell Script" action and enter the following command:
osascript -e 'tell application "Mail" to refresh' - Save the workflow and give it a name, such as "Mail Refresh".
- To run the script, open the Automator app and select the "Mail Refresh" workflow. You can also set up the script to run automatically at set intervals using the "Schedule" feature.
Method 5: Use a Widget
Some third-party widgets, such as "Mail Refresh" or "Auto Refresh", can be added to your Notification Center to automatically refresh the Mail app at set intervals.
It's worth noting that some email providers may not support automatic refreshes, so you may need to check with your email provider to see if this feature is available. Additionally, some of these methods may require you to jailbreak your iPhone or use third-party apps, which may not be suitable for everyone.
