Delete mail from server after removed from IN BOX

I have a mail management issue I have not been able to fully solve.
I am balancing the same POP email accounts among the laptop using Mail (for home use) and my desktop using Eudora Pro (for work). Using Eudora, I can manually select to delete a message from the server. Eudora's manual deletions are flawless. Using Mail, the only option I can see that will help me do this is to select delete mail "When moved from In Box." If I hit the "delete" key, wouldn't that be the same as "moving if from the IN BOX?" When is the protocol actually carried out? On the next mail check? Immediately? Upon quitting and restarting Mail? I'm confused as to how this happens and why it does not seem to work all of the time.
Any and all assistance is most appreciated.
Much obliged,
Mick

Yes, deleting a message counts as moving it out of
the inbox. The commands to remove the message from
the server are sent the next time you check mail from
that server, but only if there are new messages to be
received from the server. Yes, many of us feel that
is a bug in Mail, that it should send the remove from
server commands the next time you check mail, whether
or not there are new messages to be downloaded.
Oh Gawd, I bet that's it. Yes, if that is the case, I would agree. It does not lead to efficient mail management if there needs to be a new message there. Do you know of any plans to change or alter that? Or has someone written an AppleScript of some kind to execute the command regardless?
It's a great command, otherwise. It's nice to be able to delete a message off of one computer and have it delete off of the server without any extra hassle.
Just wondering if there are any workarounds out there other than sending oneself a new message to get the delete from server command to activate.
cheers,
Mick

Delete mail from server when removed from inbox

I have a POP e-mail account set up. Under the mail account advanced settings there is an option to delete mail from the server when I delete it from the iPad inbox. I assume this is a valid option for the account since it is shown, and it is what I would like to do. However it doesn't appear to be working. Is this truly an available option?

I also have a POO account wit ph Verizon and experienced the same thing. Apple tech said that is a property of POP accounts and I would have to change the account to Imap for the iPad to be able to delete from the server.

Delete emails from server when removed from phone inbox

I want my server (Verizon Yahoo) to trash and delete messages when I trash or delete them on my 5s. I have gone into my Verizon account on the phone, made sure Trash was selected rather than Archive, selected "Delete from server..."when removed from inbox"", restarted, etc. Everything else works in the account, and when I delete on the server, it is deleted on the phone. I want emails to delete from the server when I remove them from the phone's inbox. Supposed to happen, but doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I want to do is Trash or Trash>Delete emails on my iPhone 5s and have them go away from the inbox on my Verizon/Yahoo server. That does not happen now, even though I have set the setting on my phone to do so. All the stuff in my inbox on the server reappears the next time my phone inquires, including the emails I've sent to Trash (on the phone) and those I've Trash>Deleted there. Not too worried about permanent, real, NSA-type deletion, because that just isn't going to happen - I am worried about the poor agent at NSA who has to read my boring, mundane emails, though. I just don't want to see stuff I've Deleted from my phone's inbox come back to the inbox. Zombiemail!

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Delete emails from server after retrieving with IMAP protocol?

Hi,
I am using Mail as my email program and have set up my account with IMAP.
When I use the POP protocol, I get the option to 'Remove copy from server after retrieving message'. When I set up Mail with the IMAP protocol, there is no such an option. The result is that my server inbox is slowly filling up and I manually have to login on my server to delete older messages.
Is there a setting to automatically remove retrieved messages from my email server using IMAP?
Thanks for your help.
Erik

Dear Thomas,
Thanks for the clarification! Now I understand the mechanism.
Still I would like to know if there is a way to automatically remove retrieved messages from the e-mail server. Would it help to automatically move my incoming messages in INBOX to a different mailbox in Mail.app? How would I set this up?
Thanks for the response!
Erik

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Deleting Mail off Server

I'm using a new Intel Dual Core Mac. Previously I had a G3 and used Eudora as my e-mail program. It would delete the mail off my server as I retrieved it. I'm now using the e-mail program that came with this machine. The program downloads mail but leaves a copy on the server. I've been looking for a setting so as to correct the problem. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks,

TS3899 How do I prevent mail from deleting on the server after deleting on the phone?

When I delete mail from my iphone when using apple mail, the e-mail deletes on my phone but remains on my computer. When my co-worker deletes mail from her iphone it is getting deleted from her work computer (and the server). I have compared settings on our phone and everything appears the same. How do we stop mail from deleting from the server when she deletes mail from her phone?
Thanks!

POP or IMAP?
With POP, this is the conventional way to use it. You download messages and doing so deletes them. Alternatively you can arrange to leave copies on the server for other email clients to be able to see them. The setting to do this can be found under '''Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Server Settings'''.
With IMAP, you're supposed to store messages on the server. If you want to remove them from the server, move them to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.

Mail goes missing after downloaded from POP server

I have never run into this before. I have on this brand new MacMini (2 weeks old) with one POP email account set-up on Mac Mail 2.1.1 and in one folder the messages are going missing. Anything about 3-4 days old are fine, but the rest give me a message telling me to download them from the server. In the Mail preferences I have it set to remove from the server after one week, but considering this is a POP account it should have been downloaded to the computer once mail is checked from what I understand. I have seen this problem before with IMAP, but not POP. Now in other folders this isn't happening, not the Inbox or Sent just this one folder. I rebuilt the folder and these messages were completely deleted. Then I repaired permissions, however, in the log it didn't say that there was any issues with Mail. Does anyone have any insight or any suggestions? I just don't want this happening again in the future. Thanks.

If this is a custom “On My Mac” mailbox, in the
Finder go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Can
you see the mailbox there? Report its contents.
Note: For those not familiarized with the
~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home
folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder
within the user’s home folder.
SAME PROBLEM. SUSPECTED PAST WEEK AS TRASH AND DELETED MAIL DISAPPEARED. FOLLOWED YOUR SUGGESTION LIBRAY/MAIL/MAILBOXES.
NOTHING THERE IN DELETED/MESSAGES AND OUTBOX/MESSAGES
SPOOKY! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

Some messages not deleted from server after downloading

We have about 1,000 mail users, all of whom use Apple's Mail app to retrieve their mail using POP. We've seen users' mailboxes on the server where not all messages have been deleted after downloading, even though the user's app has been configured to delete messages immediately after downloading. The strange thing is, undeleted messages appear in large non-contiguous blocks of time. Like there will be 100 messages from January, then 250 from July, and so forth.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone help me a) understand why this is happening and b) how to fix it? Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

Thanks- but I don't want the messages deleted when they are deleted from my Mac, I want them deleted when I download them. However, I just found the setting so I'm fine.
Thanks, again!

After deleting users they are not removed from portal30.wwsec_person

I am building a customized script to carry on users self registration.
the script is going great and user is created and i can log into portal
successfully with this new created user.
I relogin as portal administrator and delete this new user and now if i tried
to list portal users I cant see the user.
But when I try to rerun my script to recreate this user again it fails when I
investigated I found that it fails because the entry of this user is removed
from portal30_sso.wwsec_person while it still exists in portal30.wwsec_person
so the script fails as there is duplicate in primary key.
Is this a bug in portal 309 that when the user is deleted it is not removed
from portal30.wwsec_person

This is actually a combination of intended behavior/design and a bug.
Let me first explain why there is a user in both the PORTAL30_SSO schema as well as the PORTAL30 schema.
The definition of the user, that can log in, and defines the single sign-on account, is the user's entry in the
WWSEC_PERSON$ table in the PORTAL30_SSO schema. The SSO server actually just uses a subset of the
columns in this table -- those defined in the WWSSO_SSO_USER view.
The same table exists in the PORTAL30 schema, because there is a lot of common infrastructure code
shared by both applications (Login Server, and Portal). The Security and Session Management code
is common, and this code includes the dependency on the WWSEC_PERSON$ table.
Now, assuming that the code was independent (for the sake of argument), why do we still have an entry
for the user in both schemas? As I mentioned earlier, the user entry in the SSO schema is the "master".
The SSO server can have multiple partner applications connected to it. Indeed, on my.oracle.com, the
login server there has at least 4 portals hooked up to it, and a few other non-Portal partner applications,
such as Oracle Mobile.
Each partner application may have a local user profile that it uses to store application specific attributes
of the user. This is stuff that the Login Server is not interested in, and could in no way predetermine for
all conceivable partner applications. So, it is not unreasonable for each partner application to also have
a user record which stores additional attributes of the user (not related to user authentication), and which
can be used to reference other user-related data. For example in the Portal, all the user's privileges
and group memberships are tied to the Portal's user record (foreign key constraints). So, the Portal
being just one partner application of the Login Server, it adhere's to this model and has a user entry
in it's schema corresponding to the user entry in the Login Server.
When a user logs on and accesses a partner application for the first time, the partner application (read Portal)
is expected to automatically create a local profile entry for the user on demand. The Portal does this.
In 3.0.9 and previous versions, to delete a user, you need to delete the user in the Login Server AND the Portal.
The only way to do this is to first delete the user in the Login Server, using the User Portlet.
Then type the user's name into the Portal User Profile portlet (they won't be in the LOV anymore since
you just deleted them from the login server), and click Edit, then Reset To Defaults (this means delete).
You will then get a User Not Found error, since the page is trying to go back to show the details about this user.
(All this has been fixed in 9.0.2 v2, by the way).
