Deleted messages remove after one day (one week, one month) not working

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to iOS 7 automatic email cleanup does not seem to be working?
I have an IMAP email account set up with the following setting: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, [then tap the email account in question] > Account > Advanced > Deleted Messages Remove > After one week
I have had that configuration on my iPhone and iPad for a very long time, and it always deleted everything out of my deleted messages folder (which, on my system, is called Trash) that was older than one week. It would do this no matter when the message was actually deleted, and no matter whether I deleted it on my iPhone, my iPad, on a computer using Outlook, or through a web interface. (It actually would have been nice to retain a message I had just deleted for the one-week period in case I changed my mind; instead the way it worked was if I deleted a message that was received months ago, it would be removed from Trash almost right away. But it worked consistently.)
Now, since iOS 7, it does not appear to be cleaning out that folder at all. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not sure if it's not removing any messages, or if it's just not removing messages I delete on another platform (like Outlook). So today I've done a test with a specific message that I will watch over the next little while to see how it works. But in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has noticed this, and if there is a solution.

Really nobody?
Is this working properly for people? It's not working for me on either my IMAP account or on an iCloud email accout, so I think iOS 7 broke something here. I've submitted a bug report on the feedback form, but it would be nice to know I'm not alone.

  • Remove after one day

    Hello,
    I have gmail and pop accounts.
    Is it possible that mail from trash will be automatically deleted from Trash?
    There is an option "Deleted Messages Remove after one day" but it does not work.
    Can you help me ? What is wrong?
    Regards, Tom

    This doesn't work for your Gmail account only or it doesn't work for all accounts?
    I believe this removal is based on a 24 hour period of time so none of the messages marked for deletion the day before at anytime during the day are not automatically purged from the account's Trash mailbox the following day? You have messages marked for deletion two days ago that have not been purged?
    If so, try deleting and manually recreating these accounts on the iPhone to see if this makes any difference.

  • IPhone empties trash although 'Deleted Messages, Remove' Set to 'Never'

    Hi,
    My iPhone is set to 'Never' remove deleted messages but it seems to empty my trash daily.
    If I set it to 'After one month' then it doesn't delete everything immediately, can anyone help? (It's running version 1.1.1)
    Thanks,
    Phillip

    Hello,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I am connecting using IMAP, to my own mail server (Mac OS Server 10.4, fully updated) running on a Mac Mini G4.
    Mail.app on my MacBook Pro (and other Macs) connect flawlessly and move deleted email to my Trash folder. I have Mail.app on all these machines set to 'Never delete trash'. I have therefore managed to maintain an extensive history of all my deleted email in my Trash folder without any problems.
    However, the iPhone seems to move deleted Mail to the trash folder (correctly) but then deletes everything older than (roughly) one day old, even though "Deleted Messages" is set to "Remove Never".
    If I set "Deleted Messages" to "After one month" they are not deleted immediately, I am unsure if they are then deleted after a month.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Komanaut and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your email.
    To clarify, are the emails deleted off your device and your email account on the computer? Or just on your device? 
    Thanks!

  • Does "Deleted Messages - Remove"  on iPhone and iPad  refer to the server, or just the device?

    I have been trying to understand the settings in iOS devices in mail apps "Deleted Messages - Remove" and the selection of time including never. Does this refer to deleting from the severs - wherever/whomever they are - or from the device itself. This appears in the advance settings in mail for pop accounts.
    If never is selected, is that so the sever holds it for the computer's mail client to see (albeit as unread) and trash it then (where it could be on sever forever if desired) or does that mean it will not be removed it from the iPhone or iPad until trashed and therefore not seen by one's other devices/computer.
    Be gentle - this is my first question.

    Your scores will not sync. You will have "different scores' on each device. And say if the game has different levels that you have to unlock, your progress on one device will not sync to the other.

    Hi shahumang8,
    When you restart your BlackBerry Z10, do you have to re-integrate your Gmail account or do your messages ever re-appear?
    Thanks.

    hi pls help me my iphone is forest i update but  after my iphone is  devices open is not working i click but sim card installed , attempting to activate this one coming pls help me answer me

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

    Try a reset or restart of the device. If it still does not appear on any of the home screens and cannot be found in a spotlight search, restore the device.

  • HT4571 Can I cancel service after one month

    IIf I sign up for Internet with my Verizon account ...can I cancel after one month of service

    Verizon has been permitting month-by-month data cell plans for iPads, unlike iPhones that cannot go in and out of service.

  • HT204053 iPhone 5s replaced after one month at apple store. They started restore and it is still restoring after 24 hours.

    iPhone 5s replaced after one month at apple store. They started restore and it is still restoring after 24 hours. What can I do?

    If you feel the restore process is not progressing, all you can do is stop it and try again.  To stop the restore, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring iPhone at the bottom.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

  • After one month of fine usage, my iPhone cannot connect to or recognize any cellular network.

    After one month of using iPhone 4s w/o any problems, it started to go off and on from cellular network. Now it is only "Searching..." for networks unable to connect. When I switch off "automatic carriers" it's the same. I already tried to swith off/on airplane mode and device but w/o success. Help, please...

    I too are experiencing the same problem on a 8gig 3G Telstra Australia iPhone that was bought outright. I also have another (same) iPhone and the settings on both are identical yet the new phone refuses to connect. I have tried a few ideas/suggestions including: settings, general, network, cellular data network and changing it from telstra.iph to telstra.internet. this works but I think something is wrong because to .iph refers to iPhone (I have switched it back until to confirm with telstra about this).
    I have also tried settings, reset, reset network settings but this did not help but has worked for others.
    I have also tried turning off the unit and taking out the sim card and restarting the iPhone but again no luck yet.
    I plan to speak to both Telstra and Apple to see if this problem has a simple solution and will post a new thread titled "solution to cellular network problems".
    Personally by all the trials and errors so far I believe it is a carrier problem and having to re-enter the pin on this phone everytime I re-boot it suggests it could be sim card related.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • N97 one speaker not working anymore

     Just noticed one side not working 

    my speaker broke too. lol i cant believe this phone even has hardware "bugs"!!!! i mean software...everybody uses the same software (assuming they have the same version). but for people to come across the same hardware problems?! this is new... anyways my speaker was broken (dunno how it happened)... it wasnt the software. i had to replace it (and pay for it BTW!) and its now working.
    p.s.
    "its time to make use of your warranty". yeah... that doesnt really work for everyone because the biggest cellphone company in the world has decided NOT to give international warranty for some reason... so for those of us who bought their phone abroad because it was cheaper there (like... ME!) the warranty doesnt neccessarily apply in their country so they have to pay for that kind of stuff where they have only had the phone for a few months.
    GIVE NOKIA USERS INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY!
    this is ridiculous! a company like nokia cant even give international warranty?! common!

    I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.
