Deleting emails from all of my devices

I have to delete my emails from each device set up on my email address (iphone, ipad and macbook pro). Is there any way that I can delete the emails from one and have it delete from all of my devices so that I don't have to do it three times?

Not with an antiquated POP account which is designed to be accessed with a single email client.

Deleting emails from all devices

How do I sync emails to delete from desktop when I del them from the iPhone and vice versa?

Requires an IMAP or Exchange account, not possible with a POP account.

TS3276 Is it possible to delete mail from your iPhone and it be deleted from all your Apple devices?

I would like to delete mail from all my Apple devices in one go rather than having to access each individually and then read/delete on each, is this possible? I have a Mac Book Pro an iPad mini and an iPhone 5.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Andy

It depends on the email you use, if you have a provider that only allows POP then it is not possible. If your provider supports Imap or Exchange then it is.
Who is your email provider?

Why doesn't my inbox detect deleted emails from the icloud

I have multiple devices(MACs, ipads and my newest Iphone 4s) connected to the cloud with my email account. Why must I delete emails on all of the devices? I thought the icloud was supposed to be able to manage that? Please help me from spending my eternity in deletion ****!
Thanks

What sort of email service do you use (IMAP or POP)? If POP, are the messages you are expecting still on the server?

HT4847 If I delete email from the cloud, is is deleted on each each of my devices. I just want to free up space on my iphone and keep my all email on my computer.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud mail is only doing what it is supposed to do. If you wish to keep mail on your computer but remove it from your iPhone, and then move it to an "On my Mac" folder in mail on your computer.

My iPhone 5 suddenly started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP accounts

Yesterday, my iPhone 5 started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP email accounts. I use the native Mail app and have three POP emails set up on my phone. The number of messages downloaded across all of them is over 1,000 so far and date back over several months. One of these is a Yahoo account, the others are work email accounts provided by two different hosting companies. I have not changed anything on any of these three accounts at the server/hosting level. I also run an IMAP account on my phone, which has not been affected, so this is obviously a POP-only issue. I started to delete the messages only to discover that older messages were downloaded in their place. There appears to be a cap of 250 messages downloaded at a time, but there's no way to change this in the phone's settings (this used to be a feature, but disappeared some time ago).
I'm on iOS8.3 (upgraded a month ago with no affect on email). I have not changed any of my phone's email settings, so I don't understand why this has happened out of the blue. I have checked the phone's email settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to limit the number of messages downloaded.
Does anyone know:
a. why this has happened, and
b. how I get it to stop?
Thanks!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

How do I delete emails from my i phone, without highlighting each one individually then deleting them one at a time. I would have thought I could highlight many emails, then delete them all!

How do I delete emails from my i phone, without highlighting each on eindividually, then deleting them one at a time. I would have thought you could highlight many emails then delete them all at once

In you mailbox you have an edit button up top on the right, click that and a button will show up next to each email, then you click the button on all the emails you want to delete.

Does icloud delete email on all devices

Does icloud delete email on all devices?

iCloud doesn't. Whether or not this happens depends on the type of email account you are using. If you are using an IMAP email account such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo, or an Exchange email account, when you delete an email (or read one or move it to a folder) on one device you will see these changes on your other devices. If, on the other hand, you are using a POP/POP3 email account, you won't see these changes on your other devices.

All my documents got deleted from all of my devices and I have no idea how. Is it possible to get them all back? Please help

I went into my pages app the other day and found that all of my documents were GONE. I have no idea why or how, but they are gone from all of my devices. Is it possible to get them all back? Please someone help me!!

Without a backup source I don't see how you'll be able to restore them. You might just give it some time to see if they reappear due to some server glitch at Apple's end. If you think there may be an issue with Time Machine you can try posting a question on that over in the appropriate OS X forum.

Permanently deleting emails from Gmail, while saving them in AppleMail

I'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete emails from my Gmail All Mail folder without deleting them from the folders I moved them to in the On My Computer area of my AppleMail on my MacBook Pro. I like the IMAP syncing function in Gmail that keeps my iphone, ipad and MacBook all synced from an email perspective. However, I don't like my emails living on Gmail's servers any longer than they have to. I don't want them living on Apple's servers either, so I'm not using iCloud.
I only want emails to remain on the Gmail servers for as long as I keep them in either my inbox or sent items. I use those two folders as my holding zones for items that still require action. Once I have done what needs to be done in regard to an email, I either delete it or I move it to a folder under On My Computer on my MacBook Pro for possible later reference. If I move an email to a folder, I never want it to be deleted. I use a Time Capsule to back up my Macbook through Time Machine, so I'm not worried about losing my historical email files from a hard drive problem. I also back up the MacBook quarterly to a separate hard drive which I store offsite in case a catastrophe at my home destroys both my MacBook and the Time Capsule.
I have about 8 years of email history that I imported from my old PC into the MacBook in AppleMail and I now want to clean out the All Mail account in my Gmail to delete all those emails, but I need them to remain in my folder system on the MacBook.
Can anyone tell me how to delete all mail from the Gmail account without having the IMAP function delete them from my MacBook Pro?
Here's an added complication. When I move an email from my inbox to a folder on my MacBook, I do want that email to disappear from my ipad and my iphone. In essence, I like to manage all my emails from my MacBook Pro if they need to be saved into folders, but I also like to be able to delete emails that don't need to be saved from any of my devices and have that deletion sync to all my devices.
I haven't been able to figure this one out. Any help is appreciated.

Make local folders (On My Mac) and move the mails there, they will delete from the GMail servers but remain accessible in Mail, only in Mail.
All Mail (in Gmail) is not a folder, it is a label for all your mail, anything in there is also in one of GMails folders, when you delete from All Mail you are deleting the original mail.

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!

My IPad is deleting emails from server; how do I stop it?

I have an IMac and an IPad; my wife has a Microsoft system. All are on a network with Apple router. Just in the last week or so, when I delete emails from my IPad, it deletes them from the ATT server, whether they have been read on the other machines or not. How can I get the messages to stay on the server? Thanks for any help!

If yur email account is an IMAP, you can't. It is working as designed. Only delete a message from any device when you actually want it deleted.
If you are using a POP account, you can fix that in settings:
Settings app > Mail,Contacts, Calendars > [the account in question] > Advanced > Incoming Settings > Delete from server > set to Never.
