Iphone 4s deleting emails from POP server

Hi,
Does anyone know how i can stop my iphone 4s deleting my emails from the HOTMAIL server when i delete them off the phone?
Thanks

Yes, they have changed the settings in iOS5

My POP account still has this option, but it's not a hotmail account. Maybe you should set up the IMAP version for hotmail accounts.

HT3228 deleting emails from pop server

It would appear that the new operating system has not continued to allow email messages to be deleted from a pop server by an Ipad or Iphone or am I not looking in the right places to change the applicable settings?

How do I stop my iphone from deleting emails from the server and visa versa

I have the iphone 4, recently my phone started sending email info to the server. Meaning it deletes emails from my hotmail account if I delete them off my phone and visa versa. I know there is a setting under advanced setting, I don't have that button. I showed someone in the apple store and she said it was a software issue and to wipe my phone and back it up from my back up, this didn't help anything, neither did re setting the settings. I don't even have the spot in the settings where I can put in the pop3 information. This is a new thing my phone started doing and I don't understand why I don't have the same setting buttons as everyone else. Any advice? The only other thing I can think is wiping my phone and starting over but I don't want to lose the data in my aps
I'm on the newest software version, this started happening just before I did that update.

POP3 settings won't appear if an IMAP service can be found. Basically, you're going to have to set up the account with bogus information so that the phone can't find the server by itself. Then, when it can't, you'll be presented with the advanced settings where you can set it up as POP3 and enter the settings you want to use.
POP3 is considered pretty much obsolete these days. The whole point of IMAP is to allow you replicate the server based mail store completely so that all information is available across all of your devices. If you don't want things crowding your in-box, but don't want to delete it entirely, why not just set up folders and move things where you want them to be once you read them?

IPhone 4 deleting email from Yahoo server

Just upgraded to iPhone 4 from the original one. Noticed that when I delete email from my Yahoo account, the messages are also deleted from the server and can not be retrieved from my iMac/iBook. This did NOT happen with my old iPhone. Tried re-entering my Yahoo account but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks

Found the solution. Delete the Yahoo account. Create a new "Yahoo" account using the "Other" e-mail account setting. Called it "Yahoo1". After providing the normal Yahoo set-up information, my iPhone went into the "verifying" mode and after some time (checking the settings with Yahoo) it created the account on my iPhone. Went to the "advanced" setting and got a different screen then with the original Yahoo account. This screen had an option "delete from server", which I set for never and now everything is working fine.
Again, I did NOT get this screen when using the normal default Yahoo account set-up. Only using "other" did I get this option.

Deleted email from the server

I know about downloading and removing email from the server by using the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option in the Account preferences tab but I want to keep all of my messages on the server for a few weeks but want to delete spam from the server immediatly. does someone have a script or is there a setting that i'm missing.
Thanks

Deleting Messages from Pop Server

I downloaded the new software and now my phone is deleting messages from the server when I delete the message from my phone. I checked the phone settings and it was set on "never" under deleting from server. Is this a bug in the new software. Is there a fix?

Wjosten,
Thanks for your continued responses.
How old is the info you got regarding Earthlink settings? I went through both my account settings, and my Webmail settings, and could not find the exact settings below. In fact, this seems to be more of a setting when you set up a desktop mail client (e.g. Part of Outlook setup). See here for an example: http://support.earthlink.net/articles/email/setting-up-outlook-2007-to-send-and- receive-email.php (it is on the last screenshot)
Regardless, I only use the webmail, and I thought that if I delete mail on the iPhone, then the setting on the iPhone to delete mail from the server should do that.
Any thoughts on whether there is something buggy with the iPhone? I had another strange iPhone problem which was fixed by deleting the acccount, logging into Gmail and recreating the account. The problem was that Gmail on the iPhone would let me send new mail, but if I tried to Reply to a message, it would not work and the error was that there was no password!

Cannot delete email from POP account

I have a POP mail account. Several emails keep coming in my inbox over and over. I have deleted them on the POP server. I have deleted them from my inbox & trash. I have rebuild my mail. I have unchecked store deleted messages on the server, saved, rechecked & run the rebuild. I have tried moving the messages to a folder & then when it gets new mail, that folder is empty & they are back in the inbox. Help this is driving me nuts

try rebuilding the entire mail index. quit mail and move the file homedirectory/library/mail/Envelope Index to the desktop. start mail and let it import (that means reindex). see if the messages stay deleted now.

Delete Emails from Web Server

Thank you for your help,

No way to remove deleted messages from POP server?

I've checked around, and this seems to be like a MAJOR shortcoming of Mail.
I have Mail set to leave mail on the server for one day. This way, if I boot on my Windows partition or check webmail, my recent messages are still there.
I primarily use my Mac for checking mail. I have many rules to sort my incoming (good) mail based on clients. I also get a lot of spam and unwanted mail, which mostly winds up in my junk email folder. So I delete it immediately.
My problem is that when I check the mail from other sources, such as webmail, I have to deal with the SAME junk messages all over again.
When I used to use Entourage and other clients, there was a preference to remove messages from server when they are trashed on the local mac. Mail does not seem to have this handy feature.
There is an option to delete mail moved from the inbox, but due to my sorting rules most of my good mail is removed from the inbox (and into client-specific folders). Also, some mail is move into junk incorrectly, and therefore moved back to my inbox by me. So this option will not work for me.
This is making it hard to use mail as part of a multi-machine/platform workflow. I like it otherwise, but it seems pretty lacking in this respect, and I am disappointed with it.
Any ideas?

What you're asking for isn't possible, not even with Entourage. You already set Mail to keep your messages for one day on the server after you retrieve them. But then you say you want it to delete them when you trash them on your Mac. Unless you are connected to your webmail server, how would you expect the server to magically discover that you've trashed something? Not even Entourage can do that; you had to have been connected to a mail server at all times in order for Entourage or any other mail client to do what you claim.
If you don't want to deal with seeing the same messages again, then you need to set Mail to delete the messages from the server as soon as it retrieves them.

Not receiving emails from pop server

I'm not receiving emails from my workplace which is a pop server. We use shaw cable for our Internet

It might be that the server needs to be altered so that a copy remains on it long enough to be accessed by all devices.
In the absence of more information the attached link will be of some help as to what is involved -

Horrible, irresponsible default setting for Thunderbird re: deleting mail from POP server

Yesterday I downloaded and booted an ISO of Linux Mint 16 because I was curious about the current state of Linux and whether it would make sense to finally switch from Windows. The OS booted and ran without any major issues and seemed generally well-polished.
Then I ran Thunderbird and did a quick setup of my POP3 e-mail account (provided by GoDaddy) using the default configuration, which I assumed would be appropriately configured for someone who wanted to give Thunderbird a test-run. I waited a few minutes while Thunderbird downloaded all the e-mail messages from GoDaddy's server and then I spent some time poking around with the program. Seemed fine.
Unfortunately, I did not realize until after rebooting my system into Windows that Thunderbird was configured by default to delete all my e-mail messages from the server upon download, and I was shocked to find that I could no longer access my old messages via my Android phone. That's several months worth of important e-mails that Thunderbird unceremoniously wiped from my mail server without so much as a warning.
This is a horribly irresponsible way to configure Thunderbird's default settings and I'm sure I'm not the only person who has gotten burned in this manner. Needless to say it has soured me not just on Thunderbird but on Linux in general as a desktop OS. As an attorney I frequently need to review previously-read e-mail messages in my account and your mail client's default settings have caused me a major inconvenience. I strongly suggest that you alter Thunderbird's default configuration to leave downloaded messages on the server in order to avoid upsetting users in the future.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I had booted Mint directly from the DVD and had not installed it. I was simply testing it out. Thunderbird was remarkably easy to configure - I just gave it my e-mail address, name, and password and it figured out the rest. But nowhere did it indicate that it would remove downloaded messages from my mail server by default, hence my shock and dismay.
I sincerely hope that somebody within Mozilla will acknowledge that this is a problem and change the default settings.

Downloading emails from POP server?

Hi,
So I have configured my yahoo plus email account via POP with my Mac Mail and all settings seem correct with no errors. It will then start downloading my emails off the server and into my Mail.
The problem is when it reaches 1326 messages inbox, it will simply stop downloading them leaving 12325 messages on the server un-downloaded.
Then when it tries to download these messages in the 'Mail Activity' it will display 'Incoming Messages: 12325' with a fully downloaded bar which will flash up the disappear without any action being performed.
If I click on 'Get Account Info' it says 'Checking Sizes' and all the messages will appear which are to be downloaded but it won't.
I have tried (all failed):
* Triple checking account details
* Removing and re-adding account
* Marking all as read as I go along
* Moving the downloaded emails to a separate mail box
Please Help!

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions,
Something similar happened to me with a gmail account with several thousands of emails. As far as I could get, it took some time to the server to allow such number of queries, and increasing the auto check time to 10 minutes, they ended up downloading fine.

Deleting emails from the server?

I tried to email a video as an attachment to 5 recipients. I did this 5 times in a row with different videos attached to each. They got jammed up and never went out.

Log on to the Web based email system of your email provider. Then delete whatever you want.
