Deleted Emails Disappearing from Trash Box

Hi There,
When I delete an email from my inbox, it goes to Trash and I can see it there but after a couple of days, it disappears? I want to keep all of my Trash emails until I delete them manually. I have the account settings for Deleted Messages set to NEVER but they still get deleted after a couple of days.
I’m with Rogers. Can anyone help me or explain this?
thanks

Thank you for the advise, I also tried the "advanced" under MAIL/notes and was able to increase all deleted messages
By selecting " delete messages after 4 weeks" and/or by selecting "never" , all deleted are in a new box titled
"Deleted Messages " bypassing the trash box.

Why is email disappearing from Trash after 7 days?

Email from my IMAP email account that I move to Trash disappears after 7 days even though my settings are set to remove "never" on all devices (iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad). Today is 4/22. The oldest email in Trash is dated 4/13.

Yup, as I stated, all my devices were set to delete "Never". I do manually empty my Trash on a regular basis, usually removing items after about a month so I have some time to retrieve something that becomes relevant again.
This is a new problem that suddenly started happening with no (apparent) changes to any settings. Unfortunately, I can't poinpoint it to an incident (e.g. software update or new device).
I've just changed all of my devices from delete Never to After One Month. I'll see if mail is deleted as indicated now, which would mean some setting somewhere got "stuck" on 7 days.
I'll also check with my IMAP host (BlueHost if anyone knows anything about them), although I've checked the server settings and there is nothing there to change the deletion frequency.
Thanks for the responses.

Why do my emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2

The emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2? The only way I can retain them is to move them to the Trash box.

Hi Venks,
I'm not sure if it's the same issue but have a look at the thread below:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=56357
My inbox had emptied and the sent/draft/outbox folders had disappeared from the mailbox.
I hope this helps.

How to delete email attachments from server

Hi,
I created an a CF template for sending e-mail which includes
attachments. It has been tested on my dev box and is functioning
fine as the attachment upload to a designated directory on the
server. I would like the attachments to be purged once the e-mail
has been forwarded to the recipent.
In Macromedia's ColdFuision 7MX web application construction
book page 913 "Interacting with Email" there is a CFC that will
delete the file when the user ends their session.
I am not sure how to write this to fit the code I am using.
Here is the eMail form

<html>
<head>
<title>Please enter your message</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Send_Email.cfm" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="500" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width = "500" colspan="2">Please enter your e-mail
message:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">To:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="text" name="to_addr"
value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="subject"
value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Message:</td>
<td><input textarea name="message" rows="5"
cols="35"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #1:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_1" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #2:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_2" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #3:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_3" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250"> </td>
<td width="250"><input type="submit"
name="Send_Email" value="SendEmail"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Here is the form to send the attachment.


<cfif FORM.attachment_1 neq "">

<cffile action="upload"
destination="D:\uploadsTEST\"
filefield="attachment_1"
nameconflict="makeunique">

<cfset attachment_local_file_1 =

</cfif>
<cfif FORM.attachment_3 neq "">
<cfmailparam file="#attachment_local_file_3#">
</cfif>
</cfsilent>
</cfmail>
Here is the session application code to delete the file upon
uploading

<cfcomponent output="false">

<cfset this.name="attachmentPurge">

<cfset this.sessionManagement=true>
<cfset this.clientMangment=true>
<cffunction name="onSessionEnd" output="false"
returnType="void">

<cfset var attachDir = expandPath("Attach")>
<cfset var getFiles = "">
<cfset var thisFile = "">

<cfdirectory directory="#attachDir#" name="getFiles">

<cfloop query="getFiles">

<cfif getFiles.type neq "Dir">

<cfset thisFile =
expandPath("Attach\#getFiles.Name#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
The tutorial only explains how to delete the attachment when
the recipient checks there mail
in the POP server.
Assuming that the sender is in a session would the code be
written to delete the attached file from the directory on
the server one the e-mail is sent.
Can someone explain how to automatically delete email
attachments from a designated directory or provide me with the code
that would handle this after an email is sent with attachment.
Thanks,
Tony

I don't know why your dos code didn't run. It could be
addressing. My limited experience with cfdirectory/cffile/cfexecute
is to type out the complete path at least once.
Good books?
Hard to say, depends on what else you are new at. If you are
new to html, then htmlgoodies.com has good tutorials. So does
webmonkey.com. If you have trouble with sql, I have heard good
things about the SAMS book, Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben
Forta. I learned javascript by buying the book Teach Yourself
Javascript in 24 Hours. The O'Reilly books are also good. I learned
awk with one of those books.
Glad you liked the fish pics. The camera is specified on most
of the pages. If it says Reefmaster, I used an external strobe. If
it says Sony I either used the camera flash only or natural light.
By the way, that is not a Cold Fusion site. It's strictly html and
javascript.

Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
"The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
thank you in advance!

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.
;~)

Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal. Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

Hmmmm.
At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock
Click on Go > Home
Double-click Library
Double-click Preferences
Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

Emails Disappeared from Inbox

Have lost about a years of saved emails from my inbox....I DID NOT delete them. One day they were there the next they are gone. I have settings on account and phone set to 'never delete'. Comcast foreign operators are of no help and eventually 'hang up' on me.....Poor service...They say can't get them, too bad, so sad.....Now if I was the NSA I could get them!Any way to find them or some other tech number to bypass the robots on the 800 number???Can't afford to lose anymore important emails, so if cannot be resolved, may look elswhere for a provider.

Most often email disappears from Comcast's "Xfinity Connect" webmail Inbox because an email program (ex: Outlook, Mac Mail) or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) using the POP protocol downloads the mail and removes it from the server.
Check all mobile devices and email programs on all computers. The missing mail may be in the Inbox of one of these. If necessary, change the Comcast password for the affected userID to prevent mail from being removed. You can change your password in "My Account" (https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/UserSettings/) under "Users & Preferences" / (username) / "Basic Settings" / Username / "Change password". Once you identify the offending device or program, change its settings to "Leave a copy on the server", and make sure that a "Delete after xxx days" or similar setting is not active.
The "Email Deletion Schedule" settings in Xfinity Connect do not protect messages from being removed by email programs or mobile devices.

Have Mac osX snow leopard, need to remove/delete email addresses from my scanner list. Have tried to follow other posts to solve but they don't seem to help as I can't find the specific network folder. Thanks, Chuck

Hi @oreganocrk ,
I see by your post that you would like to delete email addresses from the scanner list. I would like to help.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
Access the Embedded Web Server for the printer. Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar.
Click on the Scan tab, Scan to email on the left side of the window, select Scan to address book.

Running iTunes 11.0.3 64bit Windows 7. The "join Tracks" line has disappeared from the box that opens when you click "options" after inserting a CD. Only 2 lines show up: "Get track names" and "Submit CD Track names". Where did "Join Tracks" go?

Emails disappear from iPhone with exchange

I have gmail set up with exchange and after a period of time the emails disappear from the iPhone, but remain on my computer and gmail account. I have changed the 'days to sync' to no limit, but no change. I have also changed the 'show email' setting to the max (200 messages) but nothing changes.
Thanks

UPDATE - the emails have not reappeared! It must have taken a moment to re-sync

HT204150 I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back?

I linked my outlook express with icloud, not realizing it would change my outlook express contacts. I deleted email addresses from my iphone, not wanting them there which in turn deleted them from my PC. Is there any way to get these addresses back? Seems I no longer have an outlook contacts list.

It's Outlook, not Outlook Express (different program) and if you have now deleted them from iCloud and do not have a backup they are gone.
