Delete mail from server using ipad not computer

How do I delete mail from the server using my Ipad

That completely depends on your email service provider.
For gmail, for example, you would do this as follows:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your gmail account] > Advanced > [Move Discarded Messages Into] Deleted Mailbox

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

Delete mail from server when deleting from mail

I like Mail.
But - the ONE feature I miss from Entourage is this:
Delete mail from server when deleting the trash
Mail can be set to delete messages from the server -- after downloading to the local computer. OK - BUT - I read my email from 3 computers. I want to keep the messages on the server - unless I delete them after trashing - and to read them on 3 computers.
The BEST way is to delete when I trash them -- NOT when I read them.
Using the mail program to see all messages on the server and to then delete them one-by-one is a major PITA.
How can I tell Apple to add this feature?

Use the "When moved from Inbox" option that should do it. If you trash it then it goes, if you move it goes... HTH

Delete mail from server

I use a pop3 account for mail. Can I set up the mail program to delete mail from server when I delete mail locally?

Not precisely. You can set it to delete when when you move a message from the Inbox which should have the same effect in most cases, but I haven't tested it to make sure.
Mail -> Accounts -> Your POP account. Go to the Advanced pane and check the box that says "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and make the appropriate setting in the pulldown.

Go to http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702. It tells you how to set up gmail on iPhone. Then go to gmail settings then "accounts and imports" and add your AT&T POP email account to import mail from AT&T to gmail

IPhone not deleting mail from server

I realise that this appears to be a recurring problem, but I haven't found a post with an outright solution.
The problem I have is with the the 2 POP accounts. the MobileMe account works fine.
On the phone, I have it set to remove mail from server when moved from the inbox. Unfortunately this does not occur and sure enough the mail reappears on my Mac. I've tried setting the 2 accounts on the Mac to mimic the setting on the iPhone (currently the accounts are set to delete right away) but this also does not work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

IPhone deleting mail from server without permission?

Hi,
About 3 weeks ago mail which is delivered to my Iphone started to disappear from my mail account. Now I have my Iphone set to never delete mail from the server, yet it appears that some, not all are getting deleted.
I have read some posts which say to delete the mail account from my phone and re-create it which I have already done, but this did not solved my problem. It is a pop account so I'm confused as to why this is happening.
Any help greatly appreciated.

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.

How can I create a POP3 account on my iPad for Live Mail which doesn't delete mail from server?

Got a new iPad Air with iOS 7.1.1 tried to create a mail account just like the one on my iPhone 5. I selected 'Other' as mail account which allows me to edit the POP3 and SMTP settings. Think it sends mail ok need to check out receiving BUT there is no longer the option under INCOMING MAIL which says 'Delete from Server' which I have on my iPhone set to 'Never'.
Anyone know how or what settings to use for the iPad?
Thanks

Yes, you're correct this is only for existing users so if you don't have a Gmail account then do as shldr2thewheel suggested.
You'll then be able to link up to your Gmail account in your iPad once done.

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

Iphone deleting mail from server pop account?

Popped 3 messages from my account to iphone (3.0). Deleted them on iphone. Then popped from my computer from the same account, and should have seen the mail on the computer. Advanced mail settings on the phone have all mailboxes set to iphone local, and push was on. Nothing should ever be removed from the server.

Deleting mail from server

I have set up my ipod touch to receive mail from my pop account - it works well except for 2 things:
-mail messages are not deleted from the server when i receive them on the touch whereas they are when i get them from the client on my computer. Is there a setting on the touch that causes the server to delete received messages?
-i can receive my pop mail but i cant send from that account. The workaround that i use is to send from my gmail account. This is OK, but i am not sure of the proper settings to get my pop account working in both directions.
Thanks.

Hello,
If you navigate to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > {account name} >Advanced > Delete from server > . Personally I would advise against it on the iPod though incase an email doesn't download properly on the iPod or won't display fully at least you will get it on the desktop mail client.
Typically you can't send email using your ISPs email servers unless you are sat on their Internet connection, but you can send from any other account (like gmail) and receive.

Deleting mail from one app and not the other

Hi,
I'm using Outlook 2011 on my Mac Pro and Apple Mail on my laptop. Outlook has a feature where you can "Delete copies from the server (After Deleting From This Computer)".
I've looked everywhere but Mail doesn't have this feature. How can I tell Mail to do the same as Outlook?
Thanks!

You are mixing two things -- server vs second computer. I have assumed this is a POP account because the option you mention is associated with POP accounts. Were it an IMAP account, then the Inbox resides on the server and if a message is deleted, no matter from what computer, it will be gone from the Inbox and server, and you would not have needed to ask the question.
So assuming it is a POP account, there is no email client -- Outlook included -- that will delete a message that has already been downloaded onto another computer from that second computer. What can be done, consistent with your original question, is that instructions can be given to remove the message from the POP3 server upon certain actions on any computer that has downloaded the message.
Where you see the option to remove from the server after one week, there is also the option to remove from the server when moved from the Inbox. Deleting is but one action that will remove a message from the Inbox, but this option if selected will then remove the message from the server.
Is this clear now?

Hello,
Has there been a solotion to this??
My blackberry 9900 would allow me to delete an email on my phone and it would also be deleted on GMAIL.
Now with the new Blackberry OS, I delete an email on my phone and the only action it does on GMAIL is removing it from the inbox, but it still appears in ALL MAIL, so after weeeks of this, there are litreally hundres of emails still in ALL EMAIL that i thought I had deleted already.
It's a matter of tweaking your Gmail settings to have the email go to Gmail Trash instead of All Mail. The article at this link has the clearest desription I've seen.. This is working for me.

Deleting Messages from Server Using Different Computers

I access my mail from a number of different computers and devices and I would like to be able to delete a message from the server when I delete it from any of the computers/devices so that when I check my mail from a different computer/device, the previously deleted message is no longer there.
As it is now, the only option I seem to have is to remove the message from the server after I have retrieved my mail. As a result, I have to maintain one master computer for my mail and only when I delete messages from that computer are they deleted from the server.
So, is there a way to delete a message from the server after I have deleted it from any of my computers or devices?
BTW, I am using a POP account.

I'm using Imap (1and1.com) I have noticed that when email gets automatically deleted off my sever it's later missing from Mail. I cannot find any setting in Mail to keep all my email or a setting on my server to keep my mail. I often have to refernce back to business emails.
