Deleting messages from iPhone but not server

Since starting iCloud, it appears that if I delete an email on my iPhone, it also eliminates from the server. I would like to keep a copy that can be viewed on the iMac at home. How do I set this up?

That's how it's supposed to work, so that all devices are synced. If you don't want to delete mail you have read, move it to an archived folder. Alternatively, on your mac in mail, move it to an on my mac folder, this will retain it in mail, but move it off your phone.

  • 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.

  • How can I set my Iphone 4s to delete hotmail from phone but NOT server at home?

    I can't seem to figure out how to set phone so that I can delete messages (hotmail) from phone but have them remain on server (home computer)?  I've had to recently delete and then re set my hotmail account and when I did this, I seem to have lost the ability to delete from phone and save on home computer.  thanks

    You're using an IMAP account.  Not sure if you can set up hotmail as a POP account.

  • How do I delete e-mail from iphone but not server?

    Hi, I don't want to delete e-mails from my server when I delete them from my phone - I can't see how to change the settings ....can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
    You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

  • Idisk app: delete file from iphone but NOT idisk?

    maybe i'm missing something but how do you delete a downloaded file from just your iphone? when i tap the delete button in the downloaded file window it deletes it from my idisk.

    well that is sort of what i thought. when the app was originally previewed it was stated that you can VIEW your documents stored on your idisk. but the mobileme page on the apple site says that you can DOWNLOAD files to your iphone.
    i just looked and i only see where you can view and share files but i don't see anything about downloading files.
    on a side note why is the icon blue didn't it change from blue to a pink with the change from .mac to mobile me.

  • How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

    iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

    As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
    you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
    Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
    BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will  disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

  • Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

    Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

    I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

  • Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

    I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
    I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
    How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

    I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
    So problem solved.
