What does mail days to sync mean on my ipad
When you see "Mail Days to Sync" on your iPad, it refers to the number of days that your iPad will wait before automatically syncing your email accounts with your email provider's servers.
Here's what it means:
- When you set up an email account on your iPad, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook, your iPad will periodically check for new emails and download them from the email provider's servers.
- The "Mail Days to Sync" setting determines how often your iPad will check for new emails and sync with the email provider's servers.
- If you set "Mail Days to Sync" to 1 day, for example, your iPad will check for new emails and sync with the email provider's servers every 24 hours.
- If you set "Mail Days to Sync" to 3 days, your iPad will check for new emails and sync with the email provider's servers every 72 hours.
The purpose of this setting is to help conserve data usage and battery life on your iPad. By setting a longer sync interval, you can reduce the number of times your iPad needs to connect to the internet and download new emails, which can help save data and battery life.
However, if you want to receive new emails as soon as they arrive, you can set "Mail Days to Sync" to 1 day or even disable it altogether, which will allow your iPad to check for new emails and sync with the email provider's servers more frequently.
To change the "Mail Days to Sync" setting on your iPad, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap on the email account you want to modify.
- Scroll down to the "Advanced" section.
- Tap on "Mail Days to Sync".
- Choose the desired sync interval from the dropdown menu.
Note that some email providers may have their own settings for syncing frequency, so you may need to check with your email provider for more information on how to adjust these settings.
