Can the Mail app be set up to actually delete mails in hotmail?

So that when I have to go directly to hotmail.com everything is more in 'sync'.

The answer is "Sort of."
You can set Mail to automatically delete *every message retrieved from Hotmail* into Mail after the specified time period, so that the copy retrieved into (Apple) Mail is _the only_ copy.
Then, when you delete the retrieved Hotmail message from Mail, it's gone. But (depending on the timeframe you select) it was already gone from Hotmail, just by retrieving it into Mail.
1) In Mail, Preferences, select the Hotmail account.
2) In the Advanced tab, check 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'
and then the additional option *Immediately, After one day, After one week, or After one month.*
3) Note that only messages coming into the Hotmail Inbox are retrieved and then removed. If you have set filters in Hotmail to put specified messages into Hotmail folders, they will NOT be retrieved into Mail.
4) Messages that Hotmail puts into the Hotmail Junk folder are NOT retrieved into the Mail junk folder either.

  • My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

    MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
    My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
    Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App.  It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
    Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
    Thank you.

    Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
    the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
    The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
    Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
    Cheers

  • HT203301 can the compass app in iphone display GPS as degrees and decimal degrees?

  • Since Apple already has a SMS/MMS app for the iPhone, which can be used over WiFi, can the same app be installed on the iPad 2?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and realized I do most of my SMS/MMS messaging at home, when connected to my WiFi. Then I began to think, if I'm using the messaging app over WiFi, can the SAME app (which, personally I like much better than the third party apps) be installed on the iPad 2 (which I'm still waiting from back order)?

    Incorrect.
    SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    "Dumb" phones or phones not in the smart category that don't have internet access in any shape, form, or fashion can exchange SMS/MMS.
    Since SMS/MMS (a poor man's email with cell phones since it is very limited) is a cash cow for carriers and very profitable, why wouldn't cell phone carriers be interested in including SMS/MMS as an additional option (and of course at an additional expense) with a data plan only for the iPad? They certainly are interested in it but they can't since SMS/MMS is exchanged over the same network as calls.
    Get me the IPAD SMS app
    Take your whining someplace else. The self-entitlement displayed here by some is laughable.

    You need to purchase both. They are different apps.

  • I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    Bad news I'm afraid. iCloud only keeps the last 30 days of photos. Your device will keep some old iCloud photos around - up to 1000 photos - but those ones aren't actually on iCloud any more. It's one of my pet hates about iCloud Photostream, and it has caused a lot of people to lose data. It's a very bad design decision on Apple's part.
    There are file recovery programs that might be able to recover the deleted photos from your handset, but I can't remember the names of any right now. Stop using the phone completely until you can run a file recovery program to maximise the number of photos it can restore. Preferably, switch it off completely.

  • Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail.

    Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail. It was fine yesterday and just went mute today. I have Mac OSX 10.7.2 and a MacBook Air. Is there any way to fix this easily?

    I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
    Is this a common issue?
    Has this been solved?

  • In the Kindle app, is there any way to delete books after I have read them?

    In the Kindle app, is there any way to delete books after i have read them?

    Nevermind that first part as I forgot that nothing shows up for the Nano at all in Device Manager,
    The 2nd half of my reply still applies:
    Otherwise, try uninstalling all USB root controlllers from your system, rebooting your PC, and reconnecting your Nano. This root controller drivers will automatically be re-installed upon reboot.

  • I can't update apps on my IPhone because my e-mail address is different from the one that shows up on my apps update screen

    I can no longer update my apps on my IPhone 4 because I have a new e-mail account. When I try to update with my Apple ID the e-mail that shows up on the screen is my old e-mail address and since I once shared that with another person I no longer know the Apple ID for that particular e-mail.
    How do I change the old e-mail address and keep it from showing up on my apps update screen? I have deleted the old e-mail account from my phone.
    Thank you

  • When I open my mail app it shows that I have unread mail, so I click mark all read and carry on my business. About 2 seconds later all the mail I just marked comes back unread. This keeps happening, what can I do?

    Everytime I get a new email, I open the mail app and mark it as read. Recently, whenever I receive emails I mark them all read yet 2 seconds later they are all marked unread. I again mark them all read and the same thing happens. I now have 95 emails from 2 weeks ago that I clearly marked read but they won't stay read. What can I do?

  • Windows 8 Mail App - Not setting up with Office 365 Account

    Hi - I'm trying to get an Office 365 Exchange account set-up with the Windows 8 Mail app.  It's giving me an error stating the following:
    To sync this account, you first need to: Make your Windows user account an administrator. 
    I do not want to give admin privileges to the individual user account on Windows (as the error is stating that it wants me to give admin privileges to the local Windows 8 account - not on Office 365) and I cannot find any restriction set-up in the admin
    console/settings on Office 365 (or in Widows 8) that would require this privilege. 
    This same account (on Office 365) can connect fine via Outlook 2010 and a Windows Phone 7 mail app. 
    How can I solve this?..

    Derek,
    Can you please share the UAC setting or GPO settings you used to fix this in Windows 8?  I've gone to the lowest available setting in the UI (there appears to be a lower limit that a NON-admin user can manually set UAC to and to get any other levels,
    you need to use GPO) and still no luck. 
    Thx,

  • Mail.app on Leopard & Tiger glitch with "leave mail on server" setting.

    A coworker has configured her two Macs (one at work, running 10.4.11; and one at home, running 10.5.8) to download email from a single POP account on our company server, using Mail.app on each system.
    She did this by using the "Remove copy from server after retrieving message:" setting checked on, and with "after one month" selected from the associated pop-up menu.
    This worked fine for her for a few weeks, but recently both computers seem to have lost track of which messages they've previously downloaded. As a result, whenever she checks mail, both versions of Mail.app want to download the roughly several thousand emails stored in her inbox.
    Is there some known glitch in Mail that explains this? Or is there some interaction between the two Mail apps that might be creating confusion? Or is that setting just not intended to work the way we're expecting?
    I personally use that same approach to manage mail between a couple of devices and mail clients (including a copy of Mail.app), and have done for years without anything like this behavior, so I'm baffled.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Restoring Lost OS X Files
    If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
    After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
    Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.
