iOS 11 mail - manual fetch gone? Except for my iCloud account, which gets very little traffic, I only use POP3 email. I prefer it because it means I don't have to store 17 years back catalogue on every device I own.

I get all my mails on my Mac &amp; have done since time immemorial.

My phone I only ever need to check for mail if I'm out &amp; about for a long period of time.

So, I always had it on 'manual check for emails'.
This seems to have disappeared since iOS 11 &amp; now I have 2 phones with hundreds of emails I don't want. I've already read them &amp; dealt with them... yet still they're pouring in to my mobile devices.

Is the old manual-only method still there somewhere, or did someone decide I am no longer master of my own destiny?

BTW, I have my POP3 server usually delete 24h after fetching, to keep the potential backlog short if I fetch on another device.
I also use POP rather than IMAP and also for the same reasons, although my overall setup is a little different. That said, you should be able to still manually fetch your emails on iOS 11 as follows:


Open Settings
Tap on Accounts &amp; Passwords 
Tap on Fetch New Data
Ensure that the Push toggle at top is off
Now at the bottom of the page, tap on Manually
