Delete mail account on iPhone without deleting contacts

I can find no way to delete all mail at one time on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 except to delete the account. Then I get the message that deleting the account will also delete the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes—which I do NOT want to do. So, two questions:
1. Is there a way to delete all the mail at one time? Or at least one mailbox at a time?
2. Is there a way to delete the account without deleting the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I called Apple support and they managed to solve my problem
They gave me the following instructions:
1. Go to appleid.apple.com, press "Manage your Apple-ID" and write in your current apple-id and password.
2. Change your primary mailadress to your OLD mailadress (your old apple-id).
3. Log on to your old email and confirm.
4. Now you can write your ordinary password on iCloud in your iPhone, using your old apple-ID.
(Settings > iCloud)
5. If you would like to keep that apple-ID, you don't have to do anything else. If you rather want the previous apple-ID, you first delete the account on your iPhone.
6. Change back your primary email address as it was before (on appleid.apple.com), and log on to your email to confirm.
7. Now you can type in your current apple-ID account on iCloud. (Settings > iCloud)
This solved it for me anyways!
Sorry for the bad english

  • Can I delete iCloud off MY iphone without deleting data on another iphone with the sme icloud account?

    I was just wondering if I can delete an iCloud account off my iPhone without deleting contacts, etc off another iPhone who is using the same iCloud. My sister has an iPhone and i recently got one myself, when I was setting it up I used her iCloud account and all our contacts merged together. When I tried to delete these contacts off my phone they also deleted off my sisters phone.
    I was wondering if I delete the iCloud account off MY iPhone would it delete everything off hers too?
    I would be very grateful for any information you would have in relation to this, Thank you.

    To migrate your data to a new account, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, sign into the new account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account.  When you delete the account it only deletes it from your device.  Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.
    After moving to your new account, you can then go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the data you don't want from each account (i.e., deleting your sister's data from your account and vice versa).

  • Syncing with iTunes deleted mail account on iPhone

    iPhone: 5, iOS 6.1
    Mac: MacOS 10.6.8
    I have a number of accounts defined in my Mac mail and when I set up my iPhone and sync'd with with iTunes, it successfully created those accounts in the Mail app on the iPhone, very nice.
    However, I had to change the server parameters of one of the mail accounts on the Mac and when I sync'd again with the iPhone, the mail account was deleted on the iPhone.  The new mail server parameters had been verified on the Mac before I sync'd with the iPhone.
    How do I get the sync operation to re-create that mail account on my iPhone?  and why was the account deleted on my iPhone?

    Deleting one account in iPhone will result in all the duplicate accounts being erased at the same time.
    The problem is that iTunes shows duplicate accounts in its account list. Syncing again brings back the duplicate accounts to the iPhone. I can't figure out how to reset this list.

  • Help! How can I delete mail on my iPhone without it deleting on my Mac?

    hey everybody!
    so, i used to be able to delete e-mails on my iphone (through my gmail account) without having them get deleted from my inbox on my mac's mail app. however, lately, this is not the case. i would like to be able to delete certain messages so that they won't have to stay on my phone but i still need them on my mac.
    does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
    thanks!

    I need the same answer applicable to Microsoft Exchange on a pc. When deleting email from the iphone it is deleting it from everywhere. I need it to stay on the laptop so that the laptop "controls". I just switched over from a blackberry and there was a email control function where you could tell the berry to defer to the laptop when deleting.
    I also having an issue in that my "sent" emails are not appearing on the laptop - anywhere. I cannot find a location to alter this.
    Please advise and thank you.

  • 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!

  • Setting up Facebook account on iPhone without sharing contacts

    I would like to be able to use my Facebook account on my iPhone (4S) but every time I try to set it up it wants me to allow all my Facebook contacts to be added to my Mac Contacts ... no way do I want that!!  I've got enough of my own contacts without adding all the extra people I've collected on F/b.  How do I stop this happening.  I want my Contacts to sync as usual across my Apple devices.
    Help!!

    The problem was that I was too nervous to log in first in case it immediately started syncing my Facebook Contacts with my Apple Contacts, but when I did log in, sure enough, it gave me the option to disable Contacts and Calendar.  Thank you!!!

  • Can't delete photo's from iPhone without deleting them from iCloud...

    I own a 16GB iPhone 5, every time I try to erase a photo from my iPhone it prompts me with a warning telling me that "this photo will be deleted from iCloud Photo Library on all your devices" this warning pops up in all sections of the photo app. Please help! I am currently running iOS 8.1.3.

    From the FAQ: "Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app." This is by design.

  • Is there a way to delete email from iPhone without deleting on macbook

    Is there a way to delete email from the iPhone without deleting it from my macbook?

    logging out and logging back in to your email account in the iPhone's Settings will erase all the emails saved in the iPhone (without deleting them from your email server). That way, it will only load again the email when you open it.

    how do I delete pages from my iphone without deleteing it from my macbook pro as well?

    Hold you finger down on the iPone App icon until it starts shaking then hit the x to delete it.
    Pages does not get deleted from your Mac because they are 2 separate applications on two separate operating systems, that just share a same file format.

  • Deleting a mail account on iPhone completely

    Deleting an IMAP mail account on iPhone doesn't actually delete it nor its messages, just hides them. In other words, if I delete te account and then re-enter all the same login details, the messages are right there without need to download. How can I truly delete the account so that I can start from scratch and download the messages from the server? Is there a way?

    I know but instead of showing the 1000 most recent e-mails it skips whole weeks, going back to 2011. It's really a mystery how this happened without any of my doing. Just to reiterate: on the computer there are all the messages perfectly showing up. On the iPhone only with big gaps. If I could completely delete the account with no trace, I could re-add that account with the same login details and it would force to download the 1000 most recent messages, just like when I first set up the phone.
