Delete Old mail on E63

Hello,
I have set MFE to sync for last 3 days. This means that mails before that do not get automatically deleted. Is there a mechanims to configure for mails older than 3 days to get delete from the mobile without syncing to server
Thanks,
Abhay

The reset should incorporate this but give it a try - open the Mail app, double click the Home button, on the list of apps that appear press down on Mail until a red minus signs appears, click on it and you are back to the Home screen again. Now open the Mail app again and test it out.

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • HT4906 How do I delete old mail from the hard drive on my mac 10.9.2?

    How do I delete old mail  with photoattchements
    before a certain date from my mail?

    Do they appear in Mail? That is are they listed in a Mail window? If so then scroll down to the target date, select the first email for that date. Hold down the SHIFT key and scroll to the last mesage you wish to delete and click on it. This should select all the messages between your start and end date. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your selection and click on Delete in the context menu.
    Oh, be sure you have your messages sorted by Date Received.

  • How to delete old mail? Can't delete old mail on my iPad2

    As of this morning I can not delete mail. The server is 'unavailable'. What do I do to delete old mail which is no longer required. The box "Thrash" is also invisible. Currently under Mail, I have 'in' & 'draft' but no 'trash'.
    Pls assist. Thx

  • Deleting old mail...no new memory

    I have a CRT iMac running 10.3.9. Only has 6Gb memory and I wanted to open some up so I did a search for my largest files and found about 788mb of mail in the trash. I deleted about about 700mb of old mail but it didn't create any new open memory.
    Everything was moved to the trash then deleted but a search still shows 700mb of mail in the trash folder.

    Hi Rob,
    Not specifically related to your Mail taking up a lot of your disk space but you might be interested trying a utility such as DeLocalizer or MonoLingual to help clear unused language files that hog a lot of MB of disk space.
    Use may vary, but 200-300MB is a good estimate for what most users free up of disk space using one of those utilities.
    Dr. Smoke's, of the X-Lab, FAQ "Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk" is an excellent read for what may help you if you haven't already.

  • Deleting old mail contacts

    I have old email contacts in the phone that I no longer use. They are not in my contacts but are people I have emailed before. Is there a way to delete these people from my iphone's mail?

    I have that problem
    and my main concern is when a contacts Email address changes,
    Mail still prompts with the previous deleted Email addresses.
    This gradually makes Mail more difficult to use.
    Mail needs a memory reset capability!

  • HT4847 What window?  The site tells me to find the little gear at the top of the window to delet old mail.  The site does not say what window.  It sure is not the one I was in.  Does anyone have suggestions so that I can free up Icloud storage?

    Can anyone help someone not tech savvy, but not an idiot follow Apple rules?  How do I free up space on the cloud?  I want to erase old e-mails, and the site says to go to the gear at the top of the window.  The trouble is, I do  not know what window.  Help?

    I believe you are talking about deleting unneeded emails on icloud.com.  You do this by going to icloud.com on your computer, signing in with your iCloud ID and password, clicking on Mail, clicking your inbox or folders on the left side, then selecting email to the right that you no longer need, then clicking on the trach can icon at the top.  After deleting all the email you no longer want to keep, you need to empty the trash to permanently remove it from your iCloud account.  To do this, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash (see image below).

  • Delete Old Mail Messages

    I've just archived all my old email messages using MailSteward. I would now like to delete those same messages (prior to 12/31/2006) from the mail folders I have created. Is there any easy way to delete all messages older than a certain date from a Mail folder?

    I just sort by date, select the most recent message I want to delete, then scroll to the oldest and shift-click it. Then delete. Alternately, you could probably create a smart mailbox to hold just the ones you want to delete, then select all and delete them from there. If this is something you do often, and the criteria by which you identify the messages are fixed, this would be worth the trouble of creating the smart mailbox. But it sounds like a one-time sort of thing, in which case the smart mailbox route is probably more trouble than it's worth.

  • Deleting old Mail accounts

    I need to delete an old discontinued mail account - when I do so will I lose all my archived emails?

    Marc, I have the same question; I hope you don't mind if I seek clarification. So sitspotsit, let me see if I understand you correctly. I have moved all of my messages from my inbox into folders and subfolders under the "On My Mac" heading in mail. If I now delete the account to which these emails were sent, the messages will vanish from the folders (I guess they are technically called mailboxes)? Also, I have archived these mailboxes, and have them stored in my documents folder (not the mail app). Deleting the account shouldn't delete my archived messages, should it? Thanks.

  • I deleted old mail rules but somehow they are still working! How do I get them to clear completely?

    No matter what I do, and despite me removing and deleting the rules I previously had set, I cannot get them to go away. And, because they somehow somewhere still exist, they recreate the folders in my mail and place messages there. It's aggravating. Help appreciated!

    By the way, I just purchased this movie last night.  I somehow deleted Cars while the other parts of the bundle were still downloading.  I tried looking into iClod but I was unable to find a link to download the movie again.

  • Can mail auto-delete old mail from specific folders?

    I would like to have mail automatically delete mail older than one month in specific folders where I store email from mailing lists. Is there a way to get mail to do this without my having to select the messages in the folder and "apply rules"?
    It seems that rules are only applied to new messages or ones you select.
    Automator does not have an option to "find messages" which are "older than..." It does allow you to select messages recieved "before..." but you have to set a specific date.

    Thanks for your help Mulder, I'll try to clarify.
    The effort is indeed made here to clean up messages I've received - typical mailing list folders can grow out of control quickly without a little maintenance.
    I did make some Rules, ones anchored on both the sender name and date received, with the action being to send the matched messages to the Trash, or to simply change the highlighting as a test.
    It was never, and still is not, clear to me whether I must manually initiate these rules. I would hope not, however I was never able to see them work, even with the most basic of criteria, whether left to their own devices or manually selecting apply rules from the menu.
    Anyways, I guess my point here is to validate my suspicion that Rules are indeed the one and only way one would accomplish this?

  • Deleting old mail account

    I am longer emplyed with the company that I set my default mail account up with. How can I delete that account and add my persoanl account as my default on my iMac?

    Use Mail's Accounts preferences.  Use the minus to delete the selected account and plus to add a new account if you need another account.
    You can also disable an existing account without deleting it with the account's Advanced tab and unchecking "enable this account".

  • How can you delete old mail addresses?

    When sending an email (with iPhone 4, iOS5, Gmail) and you are starting to type the recipient's name at the "To:" field, the autofill function suggests addresses some of which are dated / no longer valid / unwanted ones, from previous recipients.
    How on earth can I delete such adresses???!!!
    They drive me crazy!
    Thank you.

    Thank you, Chris.
    Now, as I do not wish to restore the phone as new, if I try my luck and "Reset All Settings" can you please tell me which Settings will be affected? What sort of information / data /  will I lose? For example, will the phone "look" the same? I guess I am actually asking you what are "Settings"...
    Dammit - I am such an iPhone newbbie...
    I appreciate your help.
