How to turn off mail on iphone

"I spend more time in my inbox than with my family. If it weren't for email, I would be a much happier person."

Do you identify with this quote? You aren't alone. For many people, email is source of dread, stress, and anxiety. Don't worry. We're here to help.

You will benefit greatly from this program. When you complete it, you will be able to:

• Acquire new tools and strategies to handle email more effectively
• Improve your communication skills
• Identify your email personality
• Be the proud owner of a healthy inbox
• Eliminate the causes of email anxiety 
• Enjoy more free time

Day 1 of Revive Your Inbox focuses on reducing the amount of interruption and distraction that email causes. Let's take the first step now.

Take a look at your inbox. How many of your emails deserve immediate attention? Compare this number to the number of times that you've checked your email today.

Unless your job demands replies within minutes, checking your email frequently is harming your productivity. According to a case study by Loughborough University, it takes an average of 64 seconds to fully recover from being interrupted by an email. 

Instead of reading your email as it arrives, we'll ask you to start checking your inbox at set times each day, preferably for fixed amounts of time. If your work requires you to be at a computer, you'll need to disable notifications to break the cycle of constantly checking. The fewer times you are notified about email, the better you'll be able to focus on what you're working on.

If you don't want to disable email notifications permanently and only want your notifications to be stopped when you need to focus, you could disable your notifications manually, each time you need to stop the email notifications. Fret not, there is a better way! Inbox Pause in Boomerang for Gmail and Boomerang for Outlook allows you to schedule your messages to come into your Inbox at the times of your choosing, effectively stopping your email notifications temporarily. You can schedule your Inbox to unpause after a set amount of time, or set it up so that the new emails only arrive a few times a day - say 10 AM, Noon, 3 PM, and 5 PM. With Inbox Pause's powerful customizable exceptions, you can even set certain important emails to come through at any time of day - perhaps from your boss or your child's school.

Of course, you can also disable notifications manually. Here are the steps to turn off both desktop and mobile notifications for some popular mail systems and devices.

The iPhone has made remaining informed anywhere you can get a Wi-Fi or data connection easy. This helps people in business stay in touch while traveling or between client meetings out of the office. If you want to log out of one of the mail accounts on the iPhone, you have two options.

Log Out of iCloud Accounts

You can opt to log out of all iCloud services via the Settings app. Go to "Settings" and tap your "iCloud ID" or name. Go to the bottom of the screen and select "Sign Out." Your device is now signed off from all iCloud services including Mail, iTunes, Apple Pay, iCloud Photo and Data Sharing, and all Shared Notes, to name a few. This quick method is not efficient if you are using these other iPhone apps. If you have set up email on an iPhone and seek to disable or sign out of only one account, you do this directly in the Settings in Accounts & Passwords. Signing out of an email account app doesn't affect all other iCloud and data sharing function.

Log Out of Specific Mail Accounts

Go to the iPhone's Setting app and select "Accounts & Passwords." Look through the established email accounts you have on your phone. You may have a private business email, an iCloud or Apple email, a Gmail or Outlook account, and other types of email services that are available on the iPhone.

If you want to log out of any of the accounts you see listed, tap the arrow to the right of the account and then move the slider from the On position to the Off position. This does not remove the account from your iPhone. You can turn it back on at any time in this same screen.

Log Out of Gmail iPhone App

If you have Gmail coming to your iPhone via the Gmail app and not through Mail, you must log out directly on the app and not in the iPhone's Settings. Open the icon for the Gmail app. Like any other mail service provider, you can add several Gmail accounts. If you are not signed in to your Gmail account when you launch the app, you are prompted to sign in. If you are signed in, you see the email account with email.

Tap your name and image at the top of the screen and select "Manage Accounts" to open the screen that lists all the Gmail accounts you use with the iPhone. Slide the slider next to any account to the Off position to sign out of that particular account on the iPhone.
