Delete mail in iOS 4.2

Under 4.2 I don't seem to have the option to delete mail anymore, just archive. Is there a way to have both options?

Afaik this affects only Gmail accounts. In my case, I have the Trash options in MobileMe and COMCAST accounts, the archive one in the Gmail one.
It's a function of how their folder structure is set up and you change the appearance here in Mail by changing the setting there. It's been discussed here numerous times and should be easy enough to locate via Search. It just doesn't bug me enough to pay much attention to or to try to change it.
Also, afaik, this isn't new in 4.2; seems it did the same thing before. Or, perhaps not.

  • Problem in deleting mail with iOs 7

    My deleted mail pops up again after I have tried to delete it. What should I do? I have iOs 7.

    Deleted mailbox is checked.
    I don't have the same problem with my PC. The delete function also works well in webmail. The problem might thus not be with the operator. A strange thing is that some emails can be deleted but some not. Can you help?

  • How do you easily "mass" delete mail in iOS 7

    I have 2,100 unread messages since updating to iOS 7. How do I easily mass-delete the unread messages?

    Not that i am aware of. In order to delete you have to click edit button on your top right and choose one by one.
    Or you can try this, click edit on your top right and click mark all on your lower left,mark everything as read, if you don't have that, mark everything as in read and mark it as read.
    Good luck.

  • Deleting mail in iOS

    I don't know if this is the right forum, I admit.
    I like Apple Mail, but I don't use it on my iPhone because it seems that messages need to be marked one-by-one to be deleted. Is there a way to delete all mail at once? If not, it certainly seems like a major omission.
    Thanks.

    As you're looking at the messages in, say, your inbox, you can click the "Edit" button in the upper right, and then place check marks in the little circles on the left side of each message.  Then you can click "Delete" in the lower left corner.
    That won't delete all mail at once, but it's a way to delete more than one at a time.

  • IOS mail deletes mails in osx

    when i delete mails on iPad, it deletes the same mails loaded in my os x mail?

    That's normal if you are using an IMAP type email service.

  • Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled

    Swipe left is deleting mail messages even when swipe is disabled. I had it set to "Flag", but it was still deleting them so I tried disabling it.
    It does this only with my Exchange account, not other mail accounts. Running iOS 8.1, but it did it with 8.0, 8.02 as well.
    Anyone else experiencing this? any fixes?

    Thanks, that got me on the right track.  Searched a little more and changed the end to:
    tell application "Mail"
      (* do stuff *)
              set theSelection to selection
              set theMessage to item 1 of theSelection
              set theAccount to account of mailbox of theMessage
         set mailbox of theMessage to mailbox "Trash" of theAccount
    end tell
    And that seems to work.

  • Using Mail under iOS 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old adreesses?

    Using Mail under iOS, 5 Mail continues to suggest addresses that have been removed from Contacts. How do I remove old, obsolete adreesses no longer in Contacts?

    If you open Mail and then in its File menu at the top, click on Window and choose Previous Recipients, you'll get a popup window listing them. At that point, you can highlight and delete any/all.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I have deleted "mail" from my computer, how do I get it back?

    Hi
    I deleted Mail from my computer, won't even come up on search facility. This was done about a yr ago, but I love Mail, others drive me mad. Can I get it back? My computer is about 6 yrs old and it won't update past 10.6.8. I have recently purchased a time capsule but of course it won't work on anything less than 10.8. Can I fix both of these problems please.
    thanks Helen

    1. Use Pacifist to extract Mail from your Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.
    2. The Time Capsule needs to be set up from a computer running a newer Mac OS X version, or a compatible iOS device. Once done, it can be connected to from a Snow Leopard system.

  • I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone 5

    I can't edit or delete mail messages on my iphone. The edit icon at the top of the inbox is there and when pressed I can select messages but can't go further - the icon to delete has disappeared and the message that was selected deselects itself.
    I already tried to restore my iPhone, this didn't help.

    I have iPhone 4S and have had the same problem since I upgraded to iOS 7. I could only send and receive from iPhones.
    I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing worked.
    I called AT&T this morning. Turns out, iOS 7 cancelled my text messaging plan!!!! I was able text to other iPhone users because of iMessage. They turned my texting plan back on and I can now text everyone again!!

  • Reading / Deleting mail on Ipad and AOL?

    When I read email on Ipad and delete them.  Do I still have to delete them in AOL?

    In my experience, Deleted mail on any of my iOS devices get sent to a Trash folder, where I can permanently delete them.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to the ios4.3.5. Now the mail application doesn't function properly. App doesn't sync mail from server - deleting mail hardly works now. When the phone downloads messages from the mail server, it bounces/flashes between accounts too

    I recently upgraded to Lion and then updated my iphone to iOS 4.3.5. Now my mail app on the phone seems all messed up. When I check mail, it pulls down mail from the server but I have to go into each individual account to make that happen but even then the view automatically bounces from one mail account to another but never to the Microsoft Exchange server. It also doesn't let me delete mail

    I have wasted much time trying different combinations to have push and gmail "send mail as". I guess I have tried so much because it seems like a no brainer.
    If you set up as exchange you can at least add in the extra comma and address, but it disappears when you go to send an email.
    very frustrating indeed. my solution is to use the gmail app for notifications of new email.

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • Deleting mail from backup

    I do not use the iCloud mail storage (empty), but yet my iCloud storage indicates that Mail is taking up 1.5 GB of space in my backup. I also do not use the Mail app on my Mac. Is this 1.5 GB coming from email stored on my iPhone? If so, how can I delete this from the iCloud backup? There is insufficient space for my iPhone to conduct its regular backup, and I would like to remove mail being backed up, as this is already stored on my email servers.

    I spent some time researching this a couple of months back, and I learned some interesting things.  The most interesting of which came from this Tech Note:
    iCloud: About storage buffering
    Notably:
    Documents, Backup, and Mail all count towards your iCloud Storage space. In some cases, one portion of your storage may appear to vary from the actual storage space it is using. For example, you may notice that your Mail appears to be using 50 MB of storage space when actuality it's only using 10 MB.
    This may occur after you free up storage space that you were once using. Your iCloud Storage allocation will readjust itself automatically, but only once another iCloud feature uses the previously allocated space. Until then, it may appear that you are still using more Documents, Backup, or Mail storage space than you actually are.
    Wow.  That's quite a little tidbit there.  Especially considering the emails Apple had been sending to all loyal MobileMe customers, that it was now time to pony up for additional (paid) storage.
    So, I got tired of waiting and I started fiddling some more. I had already deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone (and added it back.)  No change.  I didn't want to delete saved iCloud documents or data, nor did I want to delete my existing iOS device backups, just to test this.  Because I was dubious it would actually fix anything, and creating a whole new backup for both iPhone and iPad would take awhile.
    Then I went and deleted the iCloud account on my iPad (as it was reporting the same "phantom" 1.3 GB of iCloud mail) and then added that iCloud account back.  In time, once everything was synced back, I noticed something:  the iCloud mail was now reporting ("only") 968 MB of space!  That's the first change I've seen!  Progress! 
    Alas, I checked again, and my iCloud.com mailbox was still completely empty.  So I forged ahead, determined to bring that number closer to zero.
    Then on my Mac, I went to "System Preferences -> iCloud -> Manage" and saw the breakdown for how my iCloud Storage was being used.  It says Mail was using 1.3 GB.  WTH?   And also, there it says "To free up storage used by Mail, erase messages in the Junk and Trash folders."  Gee, thanks, yeah, I already did that.  :rolleyes:
    So I opened Mail.app on my Mac, and had it sync with my iCloud account (and confirmed yet again, that each and every folder was empty.)  And then quit Mail.   What's going on here?
    Then I followed the instructions here:
    If your available Storage displayed in iCloud Settings on your iOS device, in iCloud System Preferences on your Mac or in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows on your PC continues to be different than expected, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    ...an contacted iCloud Support, thinking they'd know what I was talking about, and maybe they had some magic switch or button they could press, to "update" my account or something, to refresh the numbers being reported, to accurately show that I wasn't using any iCloud space for Mail at all.
    And that's when a funny thing happened.  I didn't even finish the explanation, when I went back to "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage" to review with him what I was seeing.   (The CSR was asking for my serial number.)   And now, for the first time all day, I see that Mail is no longer listed there at all.  That line is gone.  It appears that my "storage buffering issue" been fixed.  And then I had to explain to the CSR, that it looks like the situation has been resolved.  I had a laugh with him, since we both agreed, that sort of thing just seems to happen all the time.
    Sure enough, I went back to "System Preferences -> iCloud -> Manage" (on my Mac) and Mail is now all the way at the bottom of the list, taking up "0 KB."
    Success.
    In any case, I'm posting this to help others.  I can't say with certainty what fixed this for me, but my hunch is that deleting (and then re-adding) the iCloud account on BOTH my iPhone and iPad had something to do with it.  Or maybe it was launching/syncing via Mail.app, and/or giving it some time.  Or maybe those prayers had something to do with it after all. 
    The funniest part about all of this is that my whole iPhone backup (with small Camera Roll) takes up 3.6 GB and my whole iPad backup (with even smaller Camera Roll) takes up 1.4 GB... so I'm still right up against that 5 GB quota, and will still end up paying $20/year for the extra 10 GB of space anyway.  If only for elbow room, and if only for peace of mind.
    So there ya have it.
