Blackberry Z10 and Choice of deleting Email on phone or the phone and the server

Just like the 9930 my email is set up through a POP account. When deleting I was given the option to delete from the phone or from the phone and the server. This option is no longer available and I lost a bunch of emails that went away for ever!!

Hello,
There are many threads here about this topic. BB10 is a revolutionary change from before...not evolutionary. Hence, it should not be expected that things work as they did before.
As it stands, BB10 uses ActiveSync for email, where legacy used BIS. With BIS as the interface, there was the ability for additional things, including the "Delete On..." setting. With BB10, that is not available. Now, the device and the server are intended to be mirror images of each other (within the timeframe of the max 30-day sync).
So, this is WAD -- Working As Designed (though I'm hopeful the BlackBerry has heard all of the cries and is looking into future modifications).
The workaround is to file messages into a separate folder so as to hide them from your device, but not delete them from your server. This, though, has an additional complication...when you file, the folder to which you file is automatically selected for sync and display to your BB, then displaying all unread items from this folder in your Messages list for that account. So, after each filing session, you must manually shut off that sync setting so those items are not shown on the device.
Good luck!

  • Previously deleted emails being sent to my phone

    Replaced my old 3gs with a new 4. Set up my email account (BT). Started to get old, previously deleted emails being sent to my phone. Hundreds of the things. Please help.

    What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
    Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

    Either of these should help.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

    Some time ago, I attempted to download 2 episodes of Criminal Minds tv show.  It downloaded for 2 days before I realized it.  I stopped and tried to delete both episodes after several more efforts with the same result.  Every time I ANYTHING now, those same two episodes show up again and start to download again!   I can't make them go away!   I have successfully deleted songs and audiobooks over the last year, but these tv shows won't stop downloading and delete.  Any suggestions.    Thanks - danafromcripplecreek.

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

  • BlackBerry Z10/Q10 - contacts stop synching or updating (both ways from device and MS Outlook)

    Hi folks,
    Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this issue we are starting to see more and more at work.
    Are users are connected to the BDS10 server.   When they activate the device they are using the Work Account option.
    The issues are everything works excepts Contacts.   When they initially activate the device the contacts may or may not come over to device.   May or may not work accordingly with the updates from outlook and the device.   Then out of nowhere the synching and updating may stop.
    I have tried everything i can think of with the user:
    moved contacts into a sub-folder
    exported contacts to .csv and then re-import to possibly eliminate a bad entry
    delete and recreate the workspace
    delete and readd on the BDS10 and then delete and recreate the workspace
    guided the user to the old BB Article:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=KB10009&sliceId=2&cm...
    Some databases failed to synchronize: Address book
    If the above error occurs, please follow the below checklist
    1)  Ensure that at least one of the following fields for the contact is populated(not blank)
         First Name
         Last Name
         Company Name
    2)  Check that there are no special characters within the BlackBerry smartphone Address Book, IBM Lotus Notes address book, or Microsoft Outlook contact
    Special characters include: () # $ @ ! & % " - , ^ " ; ,
    NOTE: these users have 800 or more contacts, one user has 3093 contacts!
    NOTE: these users stated they NEVER had this problem with THEIR OLD BB DEVICES!
    NOTE: our company is using MS Exchange 2003 ActiveSync in relation to user's mail store.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Outlook/BB contact syncing seems broken. I have around 50 contacts and it couldn't sync those properly either. i was getting duplicates each time the device was restarted.
    The best way to sync contacts on a Z10/Q10 is to add the contacts directly to your mail box. I added all my contacts to me @live.com address book and my Q10 pulled those contacts just fine.

  • Blackberry Z10 resending an already sent email continuously , eating up all my data plan

    On sat night I sent and email from my z10 via yahoo with some images in it. Total size was 11.7mb.
    Next day in the morning my ph battery was dead. I recharged it and found out that I have used up my entire 3g data plan, and I was charged extra after that. Same problem continued yesterday , that was sunday and today also. My ph was getting hot and was using data.
    Now I logged in to my mail on PC and found that Z10 has uploaded that sent email to yahoo a 275 times. using about 3.6 gb of data. it was sent after every 10-15 mins for last 2 days.
    But it was received by the sender only once.
    It used all of my data pack , drastically reduced my battery back as it was constantly uploading data.
    Now I have deleted my yahoo account on BB Z10.  Now it is not using my data without any reason. Its showing 3g in the status bar, but for last 2 days it was always showing H+. 
    what is the solution to this ?

    Sounds like a communication/handshake issue between device and server, server not responding that the e-mail has been received & forwarded / sent, therefore pushing Z10 to continuously sending it over and over.
    You may want to try removing the account and set it up again. When setting it up, did you choose "Yahoo" from the list (in advanced) or did you just pick up E-Mail?

  • On my iMac, when I delete emails, they do not show up in the Trash and they reappear in my Inbox.

    If I drag emails from my Inbox to the Trash, they do not appear in either Trash subfolder—On My Mac or iCloud. And they reappear in my Inbox. Also, while I still receive new mail on my iPhone and my iPad, the new messages have not been showing up on my iMac Mail for about a week. My account  is iCloud IMAP.

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • Mail and Address Book: Deleted email returns to Inbox

    Hello all and happy holidays...
    That is until just a while ago, my Mail keeps receiving two similar emails (one with attachment) of Xmas Specials and offerings from one of the vendor/shop I visited. When I click on the mail itself, I just see the "loading..." in the message body, no pics, no text, assuming it is a large graphic-based or something email, *so I tried deleting them, only to have them re-appear again in the IN box.*
    *I just simply can't get rid of them!* Every time I delete them, they disappear from the IN box, I click the Trash icon, they are there, I further delete them, and when I click back the IN box, they are back again
    It has become an annoyance! I call the shop and they said their marketing dept will take me off the email list, but they can't help me on the immediate problem, *how to trash these email away permanently?* They actually ask me to call AppleCare Hotline...! Gosh, I know about AppleCare Hotline and they will go through you the 1001 steps to diagnose your system one step at a time, I just thought this is the vendor's "problem" and they should be able to fix the problem for me!
    So anyone, hope someone's home and getting online here, if you know how to, please help.
    Thanks a zillion and Merry Xmas!

    Move the offending file to the Trash and make sure that Trash does not contain any files you may want to retain.
    Shut down Mail.
    From the Finder click on Go>Home.
    Double click on the Library.
    option drag the Mail folder to the desktop.
    This should make a copy of the Mail folder.
    Once you are sure that Mail is backed up, open the Mail folder in the Library.
    Open the Mailboxes folder and open the Deleted Messages.mbox>Messages folder.
    Drag any messages in the folder to the trash can in the Dock.
    Empty Trash.
    Now reopen the Mail folder and locate the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 and the Envelope Index files and drag them to the desktop.
    Next close all windows and open the Mail program.

    I've been having deleting problems, too, and finally found a couple of fixes here on the message boards. I'll copy and paste them for you. It doesnt fix why it happens, but at least you can delete your emails.

    Hey try this.
    Swipe to delete. When you are in either portrait or landscape view swipe from left to right over the message in the inbox listing. That should show a delete option without loading the email. Worked for me.

    You can also do this go into your settings>mail, contacts, calendars then turn off the "load remote images" then try to delete the message. 

  • I have deleted email on my Mac and synced my phone but those deleted emails are still in my phone inbox.

    How can I deleted these emails without having to go back more than a year and delete manually?

    If deleting mail on your computer is not deleting the mail on the iPhone, then more than likely you are talking about a POP account. If that is the case, you will not be able to remove them other than to delete them individually, or delete the account on the phone, then add it back again. Deleting the account will delete the mail, then you can add it back. A POP account stores the mail locally on the device. And with a POP account, syncing the phone to the computer has nothing to do with the mail, except for the account settings. It does not deal with the mailbox contents.
