Delete email on phone and keep on server?

Is there a setting to not delete an email on the server when I delete it from my 3G iphone?
Thx

If you are accessing your Gmail account as an IMAP account, no.
This is the standard behavior with an IMAP account. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server. This provides for accessing the account with an email client on multiple computers or devices keeping all account mailboxes synchronized with all email clients used to access the account.

  • Deleting email from phone and server

    How do I delete emails from the phone and the server. Every time I attempt to delete I get a "unable to move this mail". When I reopen my email, all previous mails reappear.

    Its a personal account. While waiting and fiddling with the phone, I think I solved the problem. Settings, My mail accont, on imap page...account, advanced, under mailbox behavior..deleted mailbox, checked trash on the server. That di it. Thanks for starting to help.

  • Deleting emails on phone and laptop

    When I delete emails from my Z10, the emails don't delete from my laptop. On the Blackberry I used to have, when I deleted a email on the phone, it  gave me the option to delete on my laptop. Is there a setting or option on my phone I can turn on ?

    Go to your Hub and press the three dots in the lower right and select Settings>Display and Actions and scroll down to Delete On and select Handheld and Server. That's the closest you'll get to what you're describing.
    Cheers.

  • Deleting emails from phone but choosing whether to keep them on server.

    Hi,
    new to Z1, actually new to Android, and wondering how to set up my Z1 so I can choose which emails to delete from just the  phone or delete from phone and server.  Having come across from Blackberry, which asks me whether I wish to delete email from phone or phone and server as well, I would really like to be able to delete emails from just the ohone, or from both with a delete option/choice.
    Is this possible with Android/Z1?
    Just to clarify, I don't want to change a setting so it only does one or the other, I want to be given the choice each time I delete emails from my phone.
    Otherwise pretty happy with the phone overall.

    You can set the phone to not delete any emails from the server from Email -> [menu] -> Settings -> [your account] -> Incoming settings. At the bottom of this menu you have an option for deleting emails from the server.

  • HT1386 syncing i4phone 4s so that it deletes email on computer and phone at the same time

    syncing i4phone 4s so that it deletes email on computer and phone at the same time

    Has nothing to do with syncing your phone. Determined by what type of email account you have. To keep mail in sync requires an IMAP or Exchange account, not possible with a POP account.

  • Deleting emails on laptop and mobile phone

    1.When I delete emails on my laptop, the same emails will not delete from my mobile phone and vice versaThis makes me delete emails on laptop and on my mobile phoneHow do I correct this! 2. I have folders set up on my email account on my laptop but the folders will not display on my mobile phone  How do I correct this? 

    To do what you want, you need to set up the account on both devices using IMAP instead of POP3.  That way everything is synced, and anything you do to an email on one device is reflected on the other.  Here are the settings-----------------

    You didn't say what client you are using on the laptop, but both it and the phone will probably set  up the account automatically when you put in the user ID and password, as most clients now will detect Comcast accounts as IMAP compliant by default.  If not you can just enter the settings manually.

  • How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance

    How can I stop music and movies from being automatically deleted from my phone and saved on the cloud? I've just tried to watch a movie on my 2 hour commute, but yet AGAIN it has been removed. I do NOT want to spank all of my data allowance downloading it again, especially because (believe it or not) I added it to my phone because that's precisely where I wanted it!! Any help much appreciated

    FYI I had to put this link into firefox to reply - because **** back safari just wouldn't register my clicks to any of the links on the post... Despite reloadeing and even restarting my computer. Totally annoying and a massive pain in the ***.
    But in terms of my initial query; thanks for responding. But no, this is NOT the cause of the problem. I have auto sync and sync over wifi activated, but have also selected manually manage music and videos. Plus, all of my music and videos are on my macbook, absolutely all of it, so if it my phone was syncing with my macbook everything would still be on the phone. Life would be peachy if my phone jsut copied everything that was on my macbook, but unfortuantely it keeps deleting tracks for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts greatly welcomed, because at the moment i can only conclude that my iphone is crap.

  • How do I move music off my phone and keep it in my library?

    Ive taken up too much memory with music on my iphone. How do I delete it on the phone and keep it on my MacBook and Ipad?

    if they are things you bought in the iTunes store, then you can trasnfer them to your iTunes library
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

    If not then you would have to use some sort of non apple software to move or transfer non puchases from your device to the library.

  • TS4083 So what is the fix? When I delete on my computer I want it to delete on my phone and iPad. Do I put everything on push or fetch?

    So what is the fix? When I delete on my computer I want it to delete on my phone and iPad. Do I put everything on push or fetch?

    This is a function of the type of email account you are using, not whether you have it set to push or fetch.  POP email accounts cannot sync changes across devices.  Having changes such as deleting emails synced to your other devices is a feature of IMAP and Exchange Accounts.  POP email accounts won't do this.  If you're using a POP account, you'll have to switch to an IMAP account such as iCloud email or Gmail in order to do this.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

  • Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup.  But SIRI is gone and god knows what else??  Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

    Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

    Are you talking about Time Machine backups on a Time Capsule?
    It is fine to delete the backup as long as you are sure there is nothing you want.. and do a new clean backup. That will be the least possible space usage for a working backup.. Never delete files out of an existing backup.. it is very hard to manually delete files in the backup.
    We do not recommend it.

  • My contacts all got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before.

    My phone was working as normal, then all of a sudden when I checked my text messages all the names of my contacts got replaced by their actual phone numbers. When I checked my contacts, it looks like everyone got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before. Even when I check my icloud for a backup it has the same issue. I don't know how this is possible and not certain as to how to rectify and get my contacts back.

    Hi Also iPhone, need update to ios 8.1.2 do this over WiFi Use same Apple ID & Password. Cheers Brian

  • I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

    I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

    You'll need to do an Assumption of Liability. The parent that is the account owner and your boyfriend will both have to be at the store to do this. Your line is actually your parents and it will be your fiancee's once the change is made. But you should be able to get your upgrade and you definitely get to keep your number. Also depending on your fiancee's credit history there may be a security deposit required.
