Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
Thanks

You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

Deleting messages from iPhone but not server

Since starting iCloud, it appears that if I delete an email on my iPhone, it also eliminates from the server. I would like to keep a copy that can be viewed on the iMac at home. How do I set this up?

That's how it's supposed to work, so that all devices are synced. If you don't want to delete mail you have read, move it to an archived folder. Alternatively, on your mac in mail, move it to an on my mac folder, this will retain it in mail, but move it off your phone.

Deleting downloaded email from iphone but not web server

I recently purchased an iphone 3gs. My wife has had an iphone 3g for over a year. I am having a problem deleting email on my 3gs. Whenever my wife downloads mail to her phone, she can delete if off her phone but leave it on the web server for our internet provider. This way we can still download all of our mail into Oulook on our home computer. Whenever I download email to my 3gs and delete it from my phone it also deletes it from our web server and either puts iit in the web server trash or on my iphone trash folder, whichever I have it set to go. How do I set up my iphone 3gs so that after I download email to my iphone 3gs, I can delete it from the iphone 3gs and not delete the web server version?

Does the email account provider for the account support accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account?
If so, it sounds like your wife is accessing the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail application and you are accessing the account as an IMAP account.

Delete exchange email from iphone but not from PC

I just set up an exchange email with my outlook on my pc. We do not use gmail. I want to be able to have my calendar and contacts sync automatically. However, if I delete mail from my phone, I do NOT want it deleted from my computer. I've searched for answers and can't find any that solve the issue. The phone is 5s.

I really hate to disappoint you, but IMAP and Exchange both act the same way. Mail is stored on the server, when mail arrives, it is synced to all devices. When mail is deleted, it is synced on all devices. You cannot store mail locally in an IMAP or Exchange account. The best answer to your dilemma is to set the amount of days to sync on the phone so you are only observing a smaller amount of mail versus removing the actual mail. Again, as Meg mentioned, you can always manage your mail on the computer and move mail out of the inbox into storage folders if you really want to keep the mail to view/search on the computer, but it would not necessarily be visible on the phone. You can set your Inbox sync to as low as 1 day, so you would only see a single day's mail on the phone, while retaining all of your mail on the server.
Hope this helps.

How can I set my Iphone 4s to delete hotmail from phone but NOT server at home?

I can't seem to figure out how to set phone so that I can delete messages (hotmail) from phone but have them remain on server (home computer)? I've had to recently delete and then re set my hotmail account and when I did this, I seem to have lost the ability to delete from phone and save on home computer. thanks

You're using an IMAP account. Not sure if you can set up hotmail as a POP account.

How do I delete e-mail from iphone but not server?

Hi, I don't want to delete e-mails from my server when I delete them from my phone - I can't see how to change the settings ....can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

Deleting email from Iphone only not from gmail account

I have business emeails that come through on my Iphone. I want to delete them from my Iphone only. Not delete them totally from gmail. Can not find a way to do that. What am I doing wrong?

You can do this when accessing the account as a POP account on the iPhone only with the correct settings for not removing messages from the server when deleted from the iPhone - if Gmail supports accessing the account as a POP account.
Accessing the account as a POP account with an email client on one computer or mobile device and as an IMAP or Exchange account on another can cause problems.

Idisk app: delete file from iphone but NOT idisk?

maybe i'm missing something but how do you delete a downloaded file from just your iphone? when i tap the delete button in the downloaded file window it deletes it from my idisk.

well that is sort of what i thought. when the app was originally previewed it was stated that you can VIEW your documents stored on your idisk. but the mobileme page on the apple site says that you can DOWNLOAD files to your iphone.
i just looked and i only see where you can view and share files but i don't see anything about downloading files.
on a side note why is the icon blue didn't it change from blue to a pink with the change from .mac to mobile me.

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone

How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.

If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

Deleting emails from Gmail does not delete them from BB

HI,
Just bought a brand new BB 8830 World Edition and using Gmail. Deleting emails from the BB works just fine and Gmail is being updated. But deleting emails from Gmail does not delete the corresponding email from the BB.
On the BB, there is an option "Mailbox and Handheld" that works just fine but there is no such thing on the Gmail options.
Is this a bug or a normal way of doing things? It would be quite abnormal to having to manually delete your emails on the BB that have already been deleted on Gmail; it's just deleting twice the same email.
I would be grateful to anyone who can provide an answer.
Regards.
Springtime.

You can delete mails from your handheld as well as from Gmail server which I guess solve the issue for you. To be able to do so check the following options -
Messages
Options
Email Reconciliation
Deelete On: Mailbox & handheld
In place of Mailbox & handheld you also select Deelete On: Prompt. This is will give prompt wheneve you'll delete any mail and give you options what to do.
