Accents in ancient manuscripts

Can somebody answer this for me: Were accents (and/or breathings) part
of the original manuscripts? They're in my greek bible, and some
variants have slightly different accents to others; but when I've seen
the odd photocopy of an ancient manuscript, it is in capitals
(=uncials???) and has no visible accents.
So are they in the original - or not? And if not, why bother learning
them?
Thanks!
