Deleting email only on phone, not off server

Can I set my phone to delete email only on the phone, not off my computer?  Blackberry has this option.

I have the same issue.  Want to delete from iPhone and use the email on my computer to do all the detail work.  Without it, until I can do the detail work on my computer, I will have thousands of emails piling up on my phone.  I have tried setting up 2 file folders on my exchange server email; one called 'file' for filing certain emails and one called 'pending action' for those emails requiring more detailed work.  It works - - but creates additional process steps each day.  Even if I have already filed or done the detail work with the email on the computer, those emails still come to the iPhone.  Again, creating double work. 
Some smart and very organized person must have come up with an app to resolve this, don't you think?

  • Deleting Emails only on phone

    I recently switched over from a Blackberry to the iphone. I was wondering if there was an option when I can delete the emails just from my phone and leave the original copy on the server.
    For the blackberry, it lets you choose individually for the emails; meaning it asks you to either delete it just from the device or on the device and the server.

    I have a similar question: I set up my yahoo account to my phone yesterday. Then, since I had so many subfolders and this was my first smartphone I had set up for mobile access, I was using the iphone to move emails around in preparation of deleting out several folders I did not use any more. Now, no matter how old the messages are, they are showing up in the folder I moved them to. How do I reset the email cache so it only pulls the most recent emails, instead of recent emails and the ones I had moved using the phone?
    Oh, and I had already tried deleting out the yahoo account and setting it back up.
    Thanks.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

    Update - I deleted/re-added my account. Same issue. Also, no my Exchange calendar won't sync. Issue appears to be on the Exchange server. I see the following errors in my iPhone log:

  • Deleting emails from Gmail does not delete them from BB

    HI,
    Just bought a brand new BB 8830 World Edition and using Gmail. Deleting emails from the BB works just fine and Gmail is being updated. But deleting emails from Gmail does not delete the corresponding email from the BB.
    On the BB, there is an option "Mailbox and Handheld" that works just fine but there is no such thing on the Gmail options.
    Is this a bug or a normal way of doing things? It would be quite abnormal to having to manually delete your emails on the BB that have already been deleted on Gmail; it's just deleting twice the same email.
    I would be grateful to anyone who can provide an answer.
    Regards.
    Springtime.

    You can delete mails from your handheld as well as from Gmail server which I guess solve the issue for you. To be able to do so check the following options -
    Messages
    Options
    Email Reconciliation
    Deelete On: Mailbox & handheld
    In place of Mailbox & handheld you also select Deelete On: Prompt. This is will give prompt wheneve you'll delete any mail and give you options what to do.

  • Delete email addresses that are not stored contacts

    Yes, just open mail and click on the window menu and select previous recipients, when the window opens start edit your email addresses.

  • Deleting email from my phone ONLY, not off the server

    I recently had a glitch logging/accessing my email on my iPhone, which I've resolved in the past by deleting and re-adding my email. Not sure if I skipped a step this time or if the step was no longer there, but now when I delete an email from my phone, it is deleted completely from the "server" as well which I do not want. I want to say in the past my email was set up as a "Pop" account? I no longer see this as an option when I set up my account, so I wonder if this difference is the issue? I tried the option in "Advanced Settings" to set "Delete Messages"  to "Never" but it would instead mark then as read, and now for some reason, it's back to completely deleting... I would prefer them to totally untouched from the server, so I have the option to look at bigger or more important emails on the PC when I get home. Thank you in advance for any help offered!

    If you recently added back your email account it was most likely set up as an IMAP account - renowned for the seamless sync across your device - yes I am being a little sarcastic there - at the technology not at you
    The oft recommended way to "force" the email to be POP is to add your email address in there incorrectly - misspelling works fine - and then it asks whether you want a POP or IMAP account
    Try that - delete the account - you will not lose your emails in there
    Then re add and follow the steps I recommended and see if that solves your issue

  • Deleting downloaded email from iphone but not web server

    I recently purchased an iphone 3gs. My wife has had an iphone 3g for over a year. I am having a problem deleting email on my 3gs. Whenever my wife downloads mail to her phone, she can delete if off her phone but leave it on the web server for our internet provider. This way we can still download all of our mail into Oulook on our home computer. Whenever I download email to my 3gs and delete it from my phone it also deletes it from our web server and either puts iit in the web server trash or on my iphone trash folder, whichever I have it set to go. How do I set up my iphone 3gs so that after I download email to my iphone 3gs, I can delete it from the iphone 3gs and not delete the web server version?

    Does the email account provider for the account support accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account?
    If so, it sounds like your wife is accessing the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail application and you are accessing the account as an IMAP account.

  • Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

    Hi all,
    I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
    On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
    With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
    How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
    Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
    Thanks

    You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

  • HT1277 can I delete emails from my IPhone and the server as well?

    Can I delete emails from both my IPhone 5 and the server as well?

    It's very easy to do - open up the music app, find the song/artist/album you want to delete and then swipe on it right to left and press 'delete'. Once you have done this it will take up no more space on your device whether it's in the cloud or not.
    If the song is still appearing in the music app with a little cloud next to it then you can stop it from showing by going into settings, music, and turning off 'show all music'. Note that this will remove ALL songs from the music app that have the cloud next to it (the cloud means they are in the cloud, online, but not stored on the device) and if you want to play them you will have to open itunes and redownload it, or change this setting back to on.
    Let me know if you need any more help!

  • I delete emails but they do not show up in the trash folder, how do I make them visible?

    There are 2 trash folders one under my email address and one under local folders but the deleted emails do not show up in either. I have been using file>empty trash to keep things from getting too full but sometimes I would like to see what is the trash in case I deleted something that I want back. Thank you so much!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • Deleted emails sometimes reappear, sometimes stay on server

    This may have been covered, but I could not find it via searching here. I have POP email and I have it set to remove from server when I delete on the iPhone. But sometimes they reappear after I delete them and check for new mail. Not all the time, but sometimes. And sometimes they do not get deleted from the server and I see them when I get back to my Mac and check email.
    Anybody have any words of wisdom on this or confirmation?

    Nathan,
    If your exchange server is set up to "never delete", your emails will stay. However, I have found that if I empty my "deleted mail" folder, they do not show back up in my inbox.
    Try this.....hopefully it works for you.

  • How to delete email only from iphone 4s

    How can I delete email from my iphone but not from my hotmail account?

    Not possible with an IMAP or Exchange account.
    If you are accessing your Hotmail account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail app, deleting a received email from your iPhone should have no effect on the server. Not sure if Microsoft supports accessing a Hotmail account as a POP account.
