Clear cached emails after you delete mail accounts

I have deleted all my mail accounts, yet there is still 500MB of email data according to the usage section.
How do you delete this unwanted cached mail data to clear space?
Thanks
Mike

Try resetting the iPad. If that does not help, back it up, restore, then re-load backup (and media).

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.

HT201303 Is there a way to setup a rescue email after you have created an Apple account?

Is there a way to setup a rescue email after you have created your Apple account? I did not setup the security questions or the optional rescue email. Now I am stuck. I presume I cannot receive the reset email to set security question answers because I do not have a rescue email.

Yep... pretty much SoL until Apple's Snafu is over...

Can I download emails from a web mail account? If so how? thank you?

How can I download emails from a web mail account into Thunderbird please

If the account can be set up with programs like TB, simply add the account, starting from File/New(or AppMenu/New Message)/Existing Mail Account. If TB doesn't detect the right settings, enter them manually according to the account provider's requirements. If the provide offers IMAP access, all of the webmail folders will be downloaded. If POP only is offered, the Inbox will be downloaded.

Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail? For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used. I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts.
Another example: When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter.

The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

Set it up again. If you didn't delete anything from the mail server, everything should sync right back up.

iTunes gift cards are only valid on accounts based in the country in which the card was issued - so if you have a US account then you can only use US gift cards. Do you know anybody in the country where you bought it from that you could sell or give it to ? Or you could try selling it on a site such as eBay.

Cant open pages that need log in info. I've cleared cache, disabled extensions and deleted all cookies to no avail....help!!!

Any page that requires a username and password will not open, this started last Thursday and at that time I was able to reinstate by clearing cache, disabling extension and deleting cookies. Subsequently that fix failed and now doing all those things has no effect.

I found the answer: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 It was a conflict with RealPlayer. Incidentally, in order to find this thread again, I had to use a google search. Is there really no way to find a person's own questions via our own profile???

Deleted mail account - where to find deleted emails

Hi there
I have done the same stupid mistake others have done and accidentally deleted my mail account. I was trying to delete my gmail account in mail but selected my primary home email account instead.(I blame the computer) Thing is, it seems a 'partial' delete, in that this morning I still receive my incoming emails, ie the account settings are still there. Also all my sent emails, and trash from that account are still there. But as for the incoming emails for the past 5 years - nothing. And in library/mail there is no record of this account folder. Where does the deleted stuff go, if it doesn't go in the trash, and why did my deleted account action not wipe all the emails, incoming and outgoing, and not the account setup details in mail preferences? I am just curious because there is a small part of me that hopes somehow i can retrieve the emails from within the computer without having to pay for a data rescue program. (there would only be about 20 or so emails that we've need to keep for work purposes)

hi!
I have a question -- if I delete my mailbox in mail (one of them) -- which is my gmail personal account -- will it delete everything off Mail AND my gmail or just Mail Application? So hypothetically, if I delete the gmail account in Mac Mail and when I sign in that same email on gmail.com -- all my mail will still be there ?
I want to just have my work email on Mac Mail and I dont want my personal email on Mac Mail as well.
Thank you!

Once you redeem the card the balance stays in your account until you use it.
You only need the card once.

24.5.0 - deleted mail account and have issues with a spurious New Folder

Hi
I have been messing around with my Thunderbird data, so this problem is of my own making I think.
I deleted an email account using my provider setup area. This was an email account I had set up at the start when joining this provider and contained only test messages etc. and so was of no further use.
I had set up this email address in Thunderbird and after deleting the account with my provider I then removed the account in Thunderbird. All seemed to be OK.
Now, to confuse matters. I had previously set up a list of folders under Local Folders for filtered email in Thunderbird - I now moved them up into my main account by click/drag/drop onto the account name. Although this took a very long time (and unexpectedly used an enormous amount of bandwidth), the operation finally seemed to finish (although that was really hard to determine until I finally found the Activity Monitor).
Now, for the point of this posting:
After all of the above, I discovered that a spurious folder had been created under the INBOX of my main account, called 'New%20Folder=0' which I read as New Folder-0. I don't know at what point in the above that this folder appeared, but I *think* I must have dragged/dropped one of my folder moves on the INBOX instead of the account name field.
Now, dear readers, if you have got thus far, the crux of my problem. I can not delete this folder, when I try, I get the message
The current operation on 'New%20folder-0' did not succeed. The mail server for account ******* responded folder does not exist.
I have tried a whole bunch of things, altering settings in its Properties etc but nothing lets me delete it.
Question is: how can I delete it?

I would:
a) check on the email provider's website to check if it had copied there, and deal with it. Your mention of bandwidth implies this is an IMAP-connected account.
b) close Thunderbird, open its [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb?esab=a&s=profiles&r=1&as=s profile] and delete the offending folder there. You need to browse your profile for a while to understand its structure before doing anything rash.
On the whole, I discourage users from dragging folders about as you have done. By all means drag the ''contents'' (better yet, use multi-select, then right-click and "copy to" or "move to") but moving ''folders'' is IMHO an undefined operation with unpredictable outcomes. I've heard of users moving a folder from one account to another and finding that it still associates with (i.e. "belongs to") the original account.

Recovery of deleted mail account

I accidently deleted a Mail account in the Mail application. As a result I have "lost" all the emails associated with that account.
Is there an easy way to recover those emails if I know the name of the folder that held those files? And if I don't know the name?
Thanks
Harry

Before deleting an email account in Jaguar or Panther Mail, the following warning message is provided (the warning message with Tiger Mail is slightly different):
Are you sure you want to remove the account “XXXXXXXXX”?
This will erase all mailboxes for this account, but will not affect any messages stored on your mail server.
This is sometimes ignored or not completely understood but is based on the Mail.app filing structure so now the long winded answer for the reason.
Many other email clients utilize a single large database file which is not dependent on individual account and associated mailbox filing.
When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) is created in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail using the Finder. For POP type accounts, the following mailbox (mbox) files are created within the account named folder when the function is used by the account: INBOX.mbox, Drafts.mbox, Sent Messages.mbox, Deleted Messages.mbox and Junk.mbox (when Junk mail is set to automatic). The mbox files within the account named folder represent the account named mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (when Junk mail is set to automatic) in the Mail.app mailboxes drawer.
When deleting an account in Mail, the account named folder at Home > Library > Mail is deleted at that time and as the warning message indicates, the associated account mailboxes within the account named folder are also deleted. You must select OK after the warning message appears.
It would be preferable for the account named folder to be moved to the hard drive Trash can which requires an additional step to delete but this is not what occurs.
Your options are not very promising.
To have any hope of recovering your data, you need to immediately stop using your system and then purchase a copy of a recovery tool such as Tech Tool Pro (Micromat) or Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), both of which have data recovery tools. You can download a free trial version of Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering's website. I've not used Data Rescue, but I've seen reports that it recovers files that the others cannot, so it might be your best hope. The chances generally aren't really good even so, but short of sending your drive to a data recovery service (expensive), such utilities are your only hope.
Note that the more you use your system before you attempt recovery, the more likely it is that the system will overwrite the sections of the drive where the data you want to recover is stored, rendering it unrecoverable by any means. You should therefore stop using the system completely until you get and try to use one of the file recovery tools.
This also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular backup of all important data.

Accidentally deleted mail account. Recreated but inbox empty. Help!

I was unable to send from my talktalk mail account after upgrading win8 to win8.1. I reinstalled Thunderbird over the top of existing installation but problem remained. (I've checked server settings!).
In a fit of madness I deleted that mail account from Thunderbird having read in the forum that this doesn't delete the actual mail, just the account details. However, having recreated the talktalk mail account I can't find my emails! Help - some of these are fairly urgent.
Anyone able to help
a) recover the emails?
b) offer a solution to the original problem?
Hopefully,
Ted

Thanks for your interest! The server you specify IS the one showing in the account info but I don't know how to check which port is being used - I can't find it anywhere in Thunderbird. Also, the settings worked fine until the windows upgrade. I'm using Avast free antivirus so the windows firewall is turned off and can't be blocking the port.
In my panic at losing my emails I forgot that I'd saved them all using MozBackup (phew) and was able to reinstall all profiles so the only problem remaining is that Thunderbird states that, for an unknown reason, it is unable to send mail using the smtp server shown in the settings i.e. the correct ones.

IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
I've tried:
• deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
• deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
• hard resetting the iPhone
• ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
• screaming from my back porch
Ideas?
Email Account type: IMAP
Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
Port: 587
8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

One thing that might help.
If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
Host Name:
Use SSL:
Authentication:
Server Port:
If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
Both are free email services.
If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps.
