Bought an iPad for work. Mainly email, images and customer demos etc.

As the primary user I've set the email client up for my work email account, but would like to be able to log out when others are using the device.

Is this possible.....?

Not as far as I'm aware, you can disable the account. When disabled, it won't pick up new emails, but the old ones are still there. Also, anyone using the tablet can just re-enable the email account.

I did think you could use parental controls, but that just restricts access to certain areas and functions, can't be used to block access to email.

Don't suppose it's likely but depending on what you use for your email, there are a few options:

https://itunes.apple.com/app/gmail/id422689480?mt=8 - Gmail iOS app, can be set to ask for a password.

Or, use something like Outlook Web Access instead of the email app; takes longer to login each time and a bit more awkward to use, but would require a login each time and doesn't store email so wouldn't permit people to use it.

Yes just goto settings then to mail and click on your mail client and slide the mail to off then all the mail disappears. All you need to do then is turn it on when you cor back to it.

I do this so if people click on my mail it shows no mail boxes setup then I can turn my work email on when I want it.

Won't stop someone else turning back off unless you delete the account each time but you can hide the settings folder in a password end folder etc.....

Thanks both.

Did try the Outlook Web Access, but it's so clunky it defeats the simplicity of using the iPad.

Will certainly try using the OFF setting, but like you say it can just as easily be turned back ON again.

Overall my impression of the iPad is a very slick device and user interface, but frustratingly limiting if you want to do more than play games or consume web content.
