Can no longer leave mail on server

After 4 hours with ATT and Apple including an Apple call back that never came I have not solved what seemed a simple problem. In the past my phones have left messages that I deleted from my phone on the Att/yahoo server. They no longer do. If I delete an email from my phone it is deleted from the server (at&t) of course. The options to change this are no longer in the iphone settings. No one at Apple or AT&T seems to know what is going on. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I don't want to remove the mail from the server, I want it to remain on the server when I delete it from my Iphone as it did before the OS 4 update.
Duh... no kidding?
Then check your account setting on your iPhone for removing messages from the server when downloaded. The available setting for this on the iPhone with a POP account is as I provided.
On my laptop I have Outlook set to leave messages on the server. On my desk top, when I receive a message it is deleted from ATT/ yahoo.
What is your account setting with Outlook on your Desktop for removing messages from the sever when downloaded?
If set to never the same as with the account settings with Outlook on your laptop, try deleting and recreating the account on your iPhone.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

  • Can no longer send mail through Apple Mail

    Starting yesterday morning, I can no longer send mail via Apple Mail. I can receive it just fine, but when I try to send, it struggles for a minute, then leaves the message in my Outbox. When I open Mail's "Connection Doctor," it says "Could not connect to this SMTP server"; it says this for all three SMTP servers I routinely use, including smtp.mac.com.
    No other computer in my house has this problem. In fact, if I switch to a different account on my Mac and use Apple Mail with these same smtp servers, it works fine.
    Needless to say, this is completely mystifying to me. Does anyone have any idea what's happening, or how to correct the problem?
    Thanks.

    Do my eyes deceive me? Am I dreaming? Could it really be true? Looks like Apple (finally) fixed this issue! Simply update your Mac to 10.5.5. It might reboot several times. That is normal. When it finally reaches the desktop open your Mail app and try sending. It should now work for you. I couldn't be any happier, after over a year without Mail it's finally working again! This is the update that everyone's been waiting for

  • Can no longer send mail from exchange account

    My send mail icon is now greyed out and I can no longer send mail. The only thing that I have done that I never do is I selected the "synchronize" option on the mailbox name after right clicking on it last night.
    As far as Mail goes, I attempted to set up a MediaCom email box several days ago that never worked correctly, but I changed no settings on the exchange account and it was working great 24 hours ago. I've deleted the MediaCom email box.
    Tried the usual quitting, rebooting but nothing is working, any ideas why this started and how to fix.

    It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
    But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

  • After upgrading to 8.0.2 I can no longer send mail

    After upgrading iPad mini to 8.0.2 I can no longer send mail, only receive. Error msg "the recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying". Have tried rebooting, also resetting network connections, still no good.

    Hi maxwell156, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that using Mail on your iPad is very important and is frustrating when it doesn’t work as you would expect. In this situation, I recommend reading over and using the information provided in the attached article to help the troubleshooting process.

  • Can no longer send mail after installing Yosemite

    can no longer send mail after installing Yosemite

    Hi nwpmike,
    When I uncheck "SSL" it's working well, but it's not very secure. When I leave SSL, I got in "Connection Doctor" the message "Trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct.", only for the SMTP. For the IMAP, the status in Green. It's also working well on the iPhone 6 with ios8 and other mac with OS X 10.9 and previous versions.
    The only thing that can be involved is that the certificat used by my mail provider is expired.
    With connection docteur, there is a button "Show Details". Here is the conversation when connecting to the smtp.

  • Leave mail on server - where do I find this setting?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking for this setting as it informed me on the izymail website to change my setting to 'leave mail on server' as this will allow me to access my emails that I have already opened on my laptop/PC.
    Where can I find this setting? iPhone/IzyMail/Hotmail?
    Regards,

    There would be a setting in your email client for this. Outlook or outlook express you have to go into the account options/properties and in the more settings section . On the iphone I think you want to go into the advanced settings on the email account and set the delete from server option to how you like.

  • Can no longer connect to remote server via VPN

    I recently installed OS 10.5.8, and have found that I can no longer connect to my server at work. The VPN itself (via PPTP) works fine, it's just that when I try to connect to the remote server (via Connect to Server) I get a dialogue saying 'A volume failed to mount.' A further dialogue says 'Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code -6602)'
    Has anyone found a way around this, please? I'm disabled and I need to be able to work from home – without the connection I'm stuffed! Obviously I've tried rebooting the machine etc, but nothing seems to help.
    Thank you for any assistance you can give.
    Kitty.

    For some random reason this connection has begun working again – please ignore the question!

  • Can no longer send mail - strange errors/activity

    I'm hoping a guru can help me. This is driving me insane. My mail has worked perfectly for years. Over the past 2 days, it can no longer send mail. I can recieve, but not send.
    It first began with error messages saying that it couldn't use Port 25. My ISP doesn't block this port, so I tried using four other mail servers from other email accounts. Again, all give the same error. Now when I try to send a message, they just sit in my out box. When I try to resend, it does nothing. The activity monitor quickly states "Copying message to outbox". That's it.
    I'm at a loss. Any help is really appreciated.

    Ignore this message, I JUST WORKED IT OUT.
    It looks like there is another unsecure wireless network in our building and for some reason my Powerbook defaulted to using that, rather than my own wireless account.
    So with this other connection I could surf/recieve but I couldn't send out.
    The variables never cease to amaze me.

  • I can no longer send mail

    I can no longer send Mail but the Connection Doctor tells me everything is working properly. When I click the Send icon, the email just disappears and no activity is reflected in Mail Activity at the bottom of the screen. It also doesn't show up in the Sent folder.
    Any suggestions on how I can rectify the situation?

    I signed up to lastPass premium and installed the app on my phone.  I can no longer download mail.  I am asked for a password (I give my normal log-in) but it is not recognised and says there is a domain error. Can anybody help please

    Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

  • I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store

    I can no longer leave an app review in the iTunes store.
    After I sign in, and want to leave a review I get the following message: "You must own this item to write a Customer Review. In order to write a Customer Review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it."
    I used to be able to write and edit my reviews which I have done! But now I can't anymore even though I have bought and/or downloaded several apps. iTunes won't let me write a review anyway.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same problem (for Mac and iPhone apps) and contacted Apple about this.
    The English speaking support said it is a known error and that they are working on a solution. The German support however (which I contacted first, unfortunately) gave me a refund of the apps I wrote them as an example. They told me I should buy them again – which is not possible, since the MacAppStore then gives the message "You have already purchased this app..." Ironically, for one of the two apps I was finally able to write a review, even at this point it wasn't listed in the purchased apps list anymore.
    I've never asked for a refund, and it's causing me more trouble than I had before: now I cannot update these refunded apps anymore (since they are not listed in the "Purchased" list). So I have to check manually if there is a new update (comparing version numbers) and then delete the app and "purchase" it again. Of course I would simply buy the apps from the developer directly, however, they are MacAppStore only.
    When I asked the AppStore support about a solution for this problem, they said it's technically not possible to write reviews for refunded apps (? yes, of course they were not really reading what I wrote them. I guess support at Apple is done by Siri now) and gave 10 free iTunes songs.
    I think reviews are very important for both customers and developers and it's not just a minor inconvenience, but a serious problem; what is especially disturbing, is that it's not the same for all apps: for Pixelmator, I had no problems to post a review, for Jumsoft's "Relationship" it doesn't work, for some apps it worked immediately, for some after a few weeks, for some never.

  • I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why?

    Hej some one,
    I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why & what can I do?

    Check your smtp preferences in mail.app.
    See if mail.app's Connection Doctor has any useful info.  Does it's status indicate all is ok?  When you use it's Show Detail are there any (useful) error messages?

  • IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

    iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.  "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination".  Both appear correct in preferences/accounts.  Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
    (This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

    Hi there
    I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months.  I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
    I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
    On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works
