Can't delete a mail server

I recently changed ISPs and am having an email issue with my iPod (newest gen, latest system). The primary server for outgoing mail is correct (been through it with techs at the phone company) and in"other" smtp servers, for some reason, the primary server is listed AGAIN. When I try to switch it to "off" and hit "done" it remains on. There is no "delete server" button at the bottom that screen so I can't get rid of it. I've tried deleting the primary account and starting again but the same things happens. I've also restarted my iPod and made sure all the apps are off.
Any suggestions?

So, just to state the actual problem- I cannot currently send Mail from my iPod. Receiving is still OK. It's puzzling as I hadn't change anything in settings. I would expect "sending" problems when I'm on the road but this is happening at home now. I have tried deleting the primary account and re-entering all the info. But the SMTP outgoing screen appears the same- with "other" servers listing the primary server over again. Going to the next screen from the "other" server listed and switching it off doesn't work- when you go back to the previous SMTP screen it's still there. I'll attach a screen shot here. As I said in my original post, there is no "delete server" button at the bottom that screen so I can't get rid of it. The phone company tech, after hanging in with me for about an hour said the problem must be with the iPod. Any more thoughts?

How to setup e-mail account without deleting web mail server

When I delete e-mail on i-phone, it delete web mail server mail also.
I like to keep these web mail server mail.
Like old i-phone 4 was not delete web mail server mail, even I delete i-phone mail.
Please tell me how to set up e-mail on i-phone.
Thank you

I had things set up that way and it worked fine. However, last week on my iPhone, my bellsouth.com account kept coming up with "the POP server is not responding," but the account worked on my Macs and my iPad. I deleted the account and added it again. Now it seems to be an IMAP account (the POP server still does not respond). When I access the "advanced" tap in the setings, when I click "Deleted Mailbox" under "Mailbox Behaviors" it appears to show an option to leave mail in the server inbox but the word "Inbox" is in grey and not clickable. Has ATT changed its servers?

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.

IOS 4 : removing the "can't connect to mail server" messages

Ok, since the new Mail in iOS 4 have a "global inbox", everytime i open the app without being connected on the internet, it send me 5 "can't connect to mail server" message. So i have to click "OK" five times before being able to use the app. It does that even when WiFi is set to off.
Am i the only one ? Is there a setting for that ? Do I have to wait for iOS 4.1 ? Does god really exist ?

Your email provider has servers. There are no Thunderbird servers. Thunderbird is email client software that runs on your computer.
Contact your email provider about server issues.

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.

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.

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.

IPad Pop3 email deleting from mail server even though set to NEVER

Hello.
We are experiencing a most strange behaviour with our e-mail. We use a web host and access e-mail through POP3.
Two of our users are experiencing similar problems, and this is how their lives are setup:
1) Outlook 2010, set to remove e-mail from server once downloaded, however, we are manually polling to receive e-mails at will, rather than periodically.
2) iPad 2 3G - Set to delete e-mails from server "never".
3) iPhone 5 (ios 6) - Set to delete e-mails from server "never".
One of the users is receiving e-mails to their iPad, but not to either of the other two devices, sometimes to the two i-devices but not t Outlook, and sometimes to all three. Occasionally, they are not receiving e-mails at all.
I have talked to our web host, and in all instances and testing we have done with them, they can see e-mails received, and deleted from the server. However, their logs cannot tell us anymore than that.
Here's the scenario:
1) Send an e-mail. Check the web host e-mail interface and can see the e-mail has arrived in the user's inbox.
2) Open e-mail on iPad. Receive e-mail. Refresh webmail to see if e-mail is still present, and it is.
3) Hit send/receive in Outlook 2010. E-mail not received in Outlook 2010. Refresh webmail to see if e-mail is still present. It is not.
So from all indications, it looks like doing a send/receive in Outlook is deleting the message from the server, but it is not being received in outlook. I should note here that we have done extensive searches to check if the e-mail was received into some other folder, and have setup a search folder of all e-mails received today, just to make sure we weren't missing anything. The e-mails are indeed never reaching Outlook.
If we hit send/receive in Outlook 2010 after we receive the e-mail on the iPad AND HAVE CLOSED THE E-MAIL APP on the IPAD, then we DO receive the e-mail into Outlook 2010, and it disappears from the server.
This would leave me to guess that POP3 is trying to latch on to the e-mail on the server from both the iPad and Outlook 2010 at the same time and is failing, but Outlook is deleting the message from the server before it can actually download it because iPad has POP3 locked.
Anyone have any experience with this? Any way to stop it from happening?

Was this ever resolved?

All the sudden can't connect to mail server

This morning I stopped receiving email. Mail says it can't connect and that the connection timed out. I use IMAP with SSL (port 993). I don't know of anything I could have changed on the MacBook to cause this. As well, my iPhone can't connect either (same settings as Mail). It gave a connection error once and since then doesn't give errors but never pulls in new mail. I can ping the mail server and telnet in via port 993. I'm not sure what else to look at. Mail settings haven't changed that I can see. Hosting provider says there aren't any issues on their end. Any suggestions?

Do you have Mail properly configured for their servers? I know you said you use SSL, but does the ISP use it, and if they do are you using their default port? Verify your server setup by opening Mail preferences, select Accounts, click on Account Information tab. From the server drop down menu select Edit. Check that your server is correctly configured and the right security option selected. If you have multiple server entires delete all but the one you use for your mail account.
You can also try removing the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file in case it's become corrupted.
It also can't hurt to do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Download and install the freeware AppleJack 1.5 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and carefully read its instructions. Then run its full suite of maintenance and repair routines.

HT201320 I am the added e-mail on my wife's iPad. I can not delete any mail in trash? Thus Trash is collecting in bin. I can delete trash in her Mail account?

II'm having trouble deleting messages in trash bin in mail, only on the added e-mail account. The primary account functions fine! I note several users are having the same problem!

Hey BSK_AplSprtCm,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Mail account. It sounds like you may need to configure which mailbox is your Trash mailbox. To do so, see the following:
Mail (Mavericks): If messages aren’t stored where expected on the mail server
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14957
If there’s another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you’re looking for, you can have Mail use that mailbox to store messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account’s name and icon) in the Mail sidebar, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For, then choose Drafts, Sent, Trash, or Junk, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to store draft, sent, deleted, or junk messages. If Mail can’t upload messages to a server mailbox, copies of the messages aren’t saved.
Thanks,
Matt M.
