New 3G IPhone.  Can I delete e-mail acct, restore it &not get all old msgs?

If I am overseas and don't want to receive e-mail, how can I delete my account, then reinstate it to check for messages received from that point on? When I have tried this, I get 200 messages that have gone to the server while the account was deleted. I use Att Yahoo. Thanks.

If it is a Yahoo account (Y!mail) it will setup as an IMAP account and whatever is on the server will show up on the iPhone.

    Can someone tell me how to sync my iPhone 4 and not get my kids apps and songs on my phone

    Don't select them to sync.  It will only sync what you tell it to.
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, go to each tab and select whatever you like, sync.

  • I have an iphone 4s after update to ios 6.1.3 not getting all text

    I have an iphone 4s and after the last software update to ios 6.1.3 I am not receiving some texts sent to me and some of my texts are not received.  I have an iPodtouch (not updated still on ios6), that is getting the texts that my iphone isn't and delivering texts that my iphone isn't.  I can only use the iPod touch with wifi.  I really need my iphone to receive and send all my text. I'm missing meetings because of this. This is affecting my business! Please Help! Thanks.

    This is really likely to be more of a carrier problem than an iPhone problem so I would recommend that you talk to them. However, it would be worth doing a reset on your iPhone to see if that improves things. Do this by pressing the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so, until the  apple logo comes up then release them. The iohone will then reboot. This might fix your problem but if not, talk to your carrier.

  • How Can i delete Suggestions mail when i write 1 mail?

    How Can i delete Suggestions mail when i write 1 mail?

    Don't worry about your english, my Italian is probably even worse! If your applications and other data are synced as they should in iTunes, photos from the camera roll are imported to the computer, music is all in iTunes and calendar and contacts are synced to a supported application, the only thing you will lose is wi-fi settings (they can be re-done) and applicaiton data, such as scores, etc. After restoring as new, sync the content back. You will not be able to restore from a backup as the addresses will exist in the backup and just return.

  • TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

    Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
    My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
    Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
    Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I delete trash mail?

    How can I delete trash mail?

    I have two trash folders with different icons. The trash folder with a garbage bin as an icon has a Delete All function but the other trash folder does not. When I delete messages they go into the second trash folder. I then have to delete them one at a time. Then they pear in the trash folder with the garbage icon. Then I can use the Delete All button to remove. But it is a long complicated process.

  • Deleting e-mails on phone but not on computer?

    How can I delete e-mails on my iphone without deleting them in my computer?

    I think it is supposed to, it doesn't make any sense to limit it just to calendars and contacts.
    When I delete on the iPhone, it goes to the trash can, and that also updates on the cloud when I log into me.com. But for some reason, it still retains a copy of it in the inbox, effectively ignoring the delete on the iPhone.
    So I end up with 2 copies of the e-mail, the original one in the inbox, and one in the trash can. It seems to copy it there rather than move/delete it.
    There's definitely something wrong with mobile me IMO. I hope it gets fixed real soon.

  • Deleted e-mail keeps comming back some times days old email how to correct this

    Deleted e-Mails keep coming back some are days old how to correct this

    I am having the same problem. Not sure about the original poster, but hre is my situation. Hoping someone can provide assistance. 
    The deleted emails in my Galaxy S5's default email program (envelope with an red @ in the middle) keep returning like a bad case of ___.  I have a Yahoo mail account and I access it from the S5, my Galaxy Note Pro (via AquaMail and Yahoo mail apps) and regular Web Yahoo mail.
    Everything was working fine until Yahoo forced me to change my password last month.  I then had to make several attempts to get my S5 and Note Pro programs to accept the new password, but ultimately all started accessing and syncing again.  Only, if I delete email on the S5, they return in a few minutes.  If I delete them on the Note Pro or regular Yahoo, all works properly and the S5 will sync and update the email inbox to match.
    I tried the suggestion above, but did not see those settings.  When I look at the "incoming" settings, I see am setup as a IMAP server, SSL security, Port 993.  Outgoing is set to SMTP, SSL, Port 465.  I see no other settings that can be changed.

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.
