Deleting emails

How can I delete all my emails at once on my iPad, instead of having to select them one by one?
Thanks

The only quick way to delete emails is to press 'Edit' toward the top of he screen on the left hand side. This will then let you select a whole load of emails (one by one but very quickly) and then delete them by pressing 'Delete' at the bottom of the screen on the left hand side.
This is much quicker than swiping each email and then pressing delete.

  • How can I make my email POP account delete emails?

    I use a POP email account. Every time I refresh my email, it brings back all the emails I just deleted.  very frustrating
    I set the Advanced settings to Remove...After one day, UseSSL...OFF, Delete from server...When removed from Inbox, Server Port...110,S/MIME...OFF.
    Why there is no Remove...Immediately is beyond me.
    When I delete emails I want to delete them totally.  Email is one of the main reasons I got an iPad.  Constantly downloading the same emails you deleted extremely limits the usefulness of the iPad2.
    Is there a fix?
    Why doesn't the iPad provide the same functionality for POP accounts as it does for IMAP accounts?

    When I am in mail, I now click back through the navigation boxes on the top left of the screen.  If I am in an email there is a block at the top left of the screen titled "All Inboxes" (43).  The number changes.  click "All Inboxes"  The email list for "All Inboxes" slides in from the left.  Click the navigation arrow titled "Mailboxes" on the top left of the email list.  The "Mailboxes" list slides in to replace "All Inboxes".  The list shows "Inboxes" and "Accounts".  I click the account where I want to delete messages.  I click the "Trash" basket.  The "Trash" bin slides onto the screen.  I click the "Edit" block in the upper right corner.  I select the red "Delete All" in the lower left.  This is a little bit of work.  It currently prevents the emails from constantly coming back to my inboxes.
    My ISP mail provider also appeared to update their system.  I checked their website for directions on using an iPad.  Their suggestions helped.

  • New iPad 2 always downloading previously deleted emails

    I am using my Verizon.net POP3 email server.  On iPad mail setup Incoming I have it set to delete from serer when removed from Inbox.  My interpretation of that set-up is that any email I download, view and then delete (thereby removing it from my Inbox) should be deleted from the server by the iPad's OS.  Those I don't delete should remain on the server.  I also have an iPhone 3G running OS 4.x and it does not have this problem.  Emails deleted on it are also deleted from the server so that they don't appear again when accessing new mail.  The Mail settings otherwise appear identical to that of the new iPad.
    This is NOT a POP3 vs. IMAP problem.  It is an OS5.x problem as OS5.x is not handling the deleted emails by deleting them from the server.  I want emails deleted from the iPad2 to delete from the server whereas those I leave in the iPad 2 mailbox I want to stay on the server so that I can manage those from my Win7 PC using Outlook 2010.

    THANK YOU!  Great solution!

    It looks like you still have your emails stored on the mail server from your Internet Service Provider. When you update to ios5, it wipes out the emails on your devices. Then when you go into the mail tools, it pulls the emails off the server again. Very annoying, I agree.
    Best thing is to delete unwanted emails off the server, likely using a web based email tool from your ISP (eg Webmail from Time Warner, etc).
    Hope this helps.

    If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support.

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • How do i delete emails from my iphone5?

    I just purchased the Iphone 5 and cannot delete emails other than from my Yahoo account.  I use hostmonster for my business email and I continue to recieve an error message when I try to delete, UNABLE TO MOVE MESSAGE THE MESSAGE CANNOT BE MOVED TO THE MAILBOX TRASH.  I saw a post that said to include under advanced settings INBOX in the IMAP Path Prefix but this did not solve the problem.

    Hello amelieferro,
    This can be resolved by ensuring the account is correctly linked to the trash mailbox in your settings.

  • 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.

  • Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

    I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months.  When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook).  It is getting full.  Any idea how to delete from trash folder.  My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file.  No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.

    I'd go on the P.C. side of your Mail and start clearing it will clean what's on the phone and the Computer i have done this Many time on my Gmail and Yahoo.. b33

  • 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."

  • I delete emails on Centro, but they still take up tons of memory.

    I'm running VersaMail 4.0.1.00 on my Sprint Centro, which carries 68.8MB of usable memory. 
    When I go to Info (Menu + I from the Home screen), it tells me that I have <1MB of memory left, primarily because the Email application takes up 38,936K. (There are actually two Email categories listed - with sizes 16K and 38,936K respectively.  They both show Version 4.0.1.00, and as for the number of records, it's "N/A" and 831 respectively.)
    I want to get rid of as much of that 38,936K as possible.
    When I go in the Email application, I delete every possible email, but even after I empty trash it tells me that there remain 47 messages in Trash (marked with an asterisk, for some reason).
    The email is connected to my company's Microsoft Exchange Server.  I'd be willing to delete the entire application, but the Email application isn't visible when I go to Delete (Menu + D from the Home screen).  In fact, even turning on the Centro now results in the error message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Delete applications or data." 
    Okay, this is beyond weird and potentially relevant: as I'm typing this very message, the size and records of the aforementioned Email application changed to 29,468K and 674 records, seemingly spontaneously. 
    I keep thousands of emails on my company's Microsoft Exchange Server, but I religiously delete emails from the Centro Email application, never having more than 10 or so on there at a time, and none of those carrying applications or anything that would take up lots of memory.
    Even now, I can't understand why the Email application lists all those records and all that memory being used.  If you can tell me how to free up that memory, I'd certainly appreciate it.  Thank you for your time.

    When you are deleting mail, are you also having those messages also deleed from the server? Even if they are in an all mail file and not in your in box, the versa mail still can see them. So, after you delete them, the server is sendin the mail right back to you. You are then stuck in a paradox. I delete, but, I didn't... If you have a seperate file that you can forward them to, a 'new' account. That might help.

  • HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

    I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

    I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

  • Delete Email from POP server

    Hi
    i am set my iphone 4 to delete email from my pop server after 7 days. However, it is noticed that the email remains in the server and not deleted.

    hi..anyone has solutions to this? i tried all methods but it does not delete from server

  • 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!

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Delete emails from server when removed from phone inbox

    I want my server (Verizon Yahoo) to trash and delete messages when I trash or delete them on my 5s. I have gone into my Verizon account on the phone, made sure Trash was selected rather than Archive, selected "Delete from server..."when removed from inbox"", restarted, etc. Everything else works in the account, and when I delete on the server, it is deleted on the phone. I want emails to delete from the server when I remove them from the phone's inbox. Supposed to happen, but doesn't.

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I want to do is Trash or Trash>Delete emails on my iPhone 5s and have them go away from the inbox on my Verizon/Yahoo server. That does not happen now, even though I have set the setting on my phone to do so. All the stuff in my inbox on the server reappears the next time my phone inquires, including the emails I've sent to Trash (on the phone) and those I've Trash>Deleted there. Not too worried about permanent, real, NSA-type deletion, because that just isn't going to happen - I am worried about the poor agent at NSA who has to read my boring, mundane emails, though. I just don't want to see stuff I've Deleted from my phone's inbox come back to the inbox. Zombiemail!
