How can I stop emails deleting on my hotmail account

Hi
My iphone 4 is set up to deliver my hotmail emails to my phone. The actions I take on my phone (e.g., deleting an email) are being replicated in my hotmail account on the server. I appreciate this is no bad thing except that both myself and my wife use the email account, hence there can be emails that I don't see because it has been deleted by my wife. This has only been hapening over the last 2-3 months. Prior to this, the actions taken on the phone did not affect the hotmail account on the server.
Can anybody advise if / how I can continue to receive emails to my phone, but the fact that I read or delete them not affect the main server?
Thanks in advance.
Lee

Thank you for your response. How do I set up as a POP mail account, as opposed to some other type of account? Thanks in advance.

How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?

How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
"Junk" folder on 'account name'
or
Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
Thank you,

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
‘Other’ POP account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Description: alias
Incoming mail server:
Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User name: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Server port: 995
Outgoing mail server:
SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
Server port: 25
‘Yahoo!’ account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Description: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server:
Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
Server port: 465
I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
Many thanks,
Patrick

A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
Any help appreciated.

HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

A better way might be
Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

How can I change email address on my ICloud account? It won't let me change old e-mail address.

How can I change email address on Icloud? It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

How can I stop email from being deleted on computer?

I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4s today. Everything is working fine except my email. On my 3gs I had my email set up to never delete from the server that way I could delete the mail on my phone but not on my computer. With the new 4s I can't find the never delete from server option. Can anyone help me? It's a hotmail address that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!

How to eliminate Duplicate Email Messages in my Hotmail account

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm checking my Hotmail inbox on my phone I will have duplicate emails of some messages (but not all). Sometimes it will be 2, 3, 4, or even 5 copies of the exact same message (the number seems to vary depending on the day). Sometimes the duplicates are on a string of messages all from the same time frame while other times I only get a single copy of my emails. I can't seem to figure out the pattern of when I get the duplicates. The only thing I am starting to suspect is that perhaps it has something to do with going from one WiFi to another or from WiFi to the 4G network (that maybe it is downloading the messages each time my phone gets on a different network??) Does anyone know how to fix this so I don't get duplicates on my phone? I don't see the duplicates in the Hotmail account Inbox when I log in from my computer, just on my phone.
Also I can't seem to get to the settings like I could on my Droid X where I could indicate that I want to delete the messages from the Inbox if I delete them on my phone. Is it hidden somewhere or is there a trick to making that work? I don't like having to manage my Inbox in TWO places. I'd like to be able to delete it either on my phone or on my computer and have that message deleted in both places.

Are you using the stock e-mail app? If so, try going to your e-mail, then clicking the gear (for Settings). In your Hotmail account, scroll until you find the Incoming Settings, then change Delete E-mail From Server to your preference.

How can I stop email aliases from auto-resolving on send?

My organization uses Exchange for email.
I am attempting to send a message from my iPhone TO an alias email address. As background, this is necessary because I'm attempting to develop an application that reads the inbox for the related account and performs different actions based on the alias used as the 'send to' address on the email.
I can type in the alias, or choose it from a contact (I've tried both ways), so that when I hit send it LOOKS like it's going to the alias... but as I/after I send the message, the iPhone/mail application/? resolves the alias to the primary address, so that when it enters the mailbox, it appears to have been sent to the primary email address, rather than the alias.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I don´t know for a fact, but I guess you can have your firewall block the traffic to and from the AppleTV's. You have to find out which ports to block (see: http://bowersandwilkins.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/~/firewall-ports -utilised-by-airplay ) and also you will need to have different location profiles for your home and work network.
Just my two cents.

How can i sync email deletions on my iPhone and iMac, and vice versa?

My email provider is Sky in the UK. While i am able to receive the same emails on both devices (imac and iphone) simultaneously, if I delete one on the iphone, it is not deleted on the iMac, and vice versa. I don't want to have to delete emails twice, once on each machine, but rather only once on one machine (and then that email would automatically disappear from the inbox of the other machine).
Is this possible? My sky account is IMAP on the Iphone, but POP on the IMAC. I tried changing it to IMAP on the iMac, but then i couldn't received email messages in MAIL on the iMac so reverted it back to a POP account.
Any advice appreciated. Spent way too many hours today trying to figure this out.
Thanks,
Joe

if it were imap on both, you'd be able to delete an email from one device and it would remove it from the other. they can't have different protocols and still sync with each other

How can I stop emails pushed to the Curve from getting marked as "Read" in Outlook!

I get 100 or so emails a day, and get them bolded in Outlook until I read them. In two of my three email accounts, the emails remain bolded in Outlook even after being pushed to the Curve. In the third, which runs through my work server, all emails come in unbolded as if they're already read.
This is confusing me and making it hard to go back and pick up important emails (and delete others). Anyone got any ideas of how to fix this in my email set-up on the Curve?
Thanks much.

your other two email accounts, which type are they? MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Gmail or another provider? I have one of each of these and i have mine setup as delete on mailbox and server, wireless reconcile on and on conflict mailbox wins, so when i see these emails on my computer, they are already read and if deleted( yahoo and gmail) will be deleted on the server, the msn and hotmail just stay as read but not deleted.
