How do you delete multiple e-mails at once--not just one at a time.
Thanks

Thank you for your inquiry. If you want to delete multiple emails, open the email application, tap on Menu >Delete. You will have an option to select emails you want to delete tapping on delete to complete the process. You can delete one email or all the emails depending on your requirement would not need to use any application for this operation. However, you could look for App on this process and check on the market. There are Apps available for managing and maintaining emails on your phone.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900 mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Problem in Mail deletion in POP3

Hi
I am using Pop3.
I opened folder using
folder.open (Folder.READ_WRITE);
setting flag for deletion
mimeMessages.setFlag (Flags.Flag.DELETED, true);
then in finally block closing the folder
if (mailbox.isConnected ()) {
if(folder != null && folder.isOpen()) {
try {
folder.close (true);
sometimes it is not deleting the messages.
Please suggest something.
Thanks
Atal

I am sorry but what do u mean by this? can u please explain in detail.
actually most of times it works fine but in few cases mail deletion is failing.
In my code: after folder.close (true); I just take a dump that comes successfully.

Verizon mail deleted from server is not deleted from IPAD2 but works fine on Android

I have both an Android phone and an IPAD. This Android (RAZR) and my previous one (Droid2) worked fine. Mail deleted from the server is also deleted from the phone. Deleted from phone would delete from server. Worked great. On IPAD, when setting up the Verizon mail account, it defaults to POP and I can set it to delete from server when removed from IPAD. However, mail deleted from the server is not deleted from the IPAD and so I have to remove it manually (a second time). Why does it work on Android and not on IPAD? Settings on Android appear to also be for POP. Can anyone help with this? It's too hard to believe that with so many people using IPADs, that this is such a problem. I've read that Verizon isn't supporting IMAP, but how in the world is the Android phone working?
MrBigHands

Any mail service POP downloads a copy of the message to the phone. It would then need to be deleted from the device itself. What you are referring to where its deleted in both places is an IMAP type email service.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

E-mail delete shortcuts?

I'm finding the number of touches slowing me down when I'm deleting e-mails on my new z10. I've been using an iPhone 4 for a while and decided to switch because I'm tired of the unbelievably poor experience I have with iOS devices in a corporate environment - don't get me started on how bad calendar management works on an iOS device!
Anyway, I've ready about how to do multi-selections and then deleting a group of e-mail, but the way I typically process e-mail is to look at the e-mail and then delete it if I don't need to keep it, so multi-select doesn't work so well. The way I'm used to doing this is looking at an e-mail, deleting it and then the e-mail client typically goes to the previous or next e-mail so i can delete the next one.
On the z10, I have to touch the e-mail, then touch the over-flow icon, then touch the delete icon and then it takes me back to the e-mail list where I have to touch the next e-mail, touch the over-flow icon, touch the delete icon, etc..it takes me 3x the number of touches to delete e-mails individually.
Are there any shortcuts to delete an e-mail without using the overflow menu first? If not, there should be! Or at least an option to go to the next email after deleting - then I'd only have 2x the number of touches instead of 3x...!
Thanks.

Best way to delete emails, is to Select and hold an email then select more and select all your emails you want to delete in one shot. Also if you want to delete or mark all emails as read, Click and hold the date above the email, a slider appears on the top right to delete all or mark all read.

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
System: 10.6.4

Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

Yosemite Mail deleted all my outgoing server settings. Any way to retrieve them?

Yosemite Mail deleted all my outgoing server settings. Any way to retrieve them?

What is your email provider (e.g Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo, Comcast, AT&T, etc...), and what email client software are you using (Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc)?
It's likely far easier to just Google the correct settings for your mail provider and recreate the outgoing (SMTP) settings.

Mail deleting my mail!

I have no junk mail filtering, no rules, but Mail deletes my email and it is not in the trash or in the junk mail folder! I open the Mail application and I see my messages and then watch as they disappear.
any ideas?
thanks

Same problem here - noticed it first a couple of days ago.
I do have a rule (just the default apple highlight one) and do have junk filtering on - but only "put into junk" not delete it.
I have done some trials but frankly they weren't particularly revealing - I thought it was linked to having the system set to remove the messages from my POP server on download, but I'm not sure about that.
It does only seem to affect the inbox folder - so ironically junk and deleted mail are kept...
Strangely it seems happier now I have set up a second rule which copies every mail to a local folder called "localmail" - as a result of which the mail in the main inbox is kept as well as the new copy.
This is very very frustrating, not least for the other users of my machine who are now concerned about logging in in case their mail archives are deleted also. Thankfully I didn't have too many sat in the inbox - and I have simply contacted those that have sent me to resend it.

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

How to stop ios mail deleting icloud email from mac mail?

This is driving me insane.
I have an icloud email address set up on my iphone and mac mail.
I want to leave emails on my phone 'on the server'. Read them when i'm out, delete them... come home and have them all come through on mail where i'll deal with them.
Right now if I delete them on my phone, they're deleted on mac mail also.
I have all my regular email addresses set up to do this. Except the one icloud address I want to move everything to!!!
Help!!!

Hello there David DW,
It sounds like your iPhone does whatever your iPad does with regard to joining or forgetting a Wi-Fi network. From what you are describing it seems to me that iCloud Keychain is enabled, as this is a function of that feature. The only way to stop what you are seeing from happening is to disable iCloud keychain on one of the devices:
Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices that are using iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
You can do this in your iCloud Settings:
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn on or off iCloud features.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

E-Mail Issues: Retrieved E-Mails deleting off server but only on one of two accounts

I am the proud owner of a Z10 as of 4 days ago. So far, it's a great device, but I've got one problem. I want the e-mail messages retrieved on my phone to stay on the server, and this is working, but only for one account.
I setup my two e-mail accounts, Comcast and GMail, both as POP accounts. I did not setup GMail as IMAP. I tested the connections to see that the messages were properly retrieved on the phone, then I logged into each account to see that the messages were staying on the server. It appeared as though they were, but apparently I didn't wait long enough on the GMail account because the messages were being deleted from the server and I didn't notice this for 3 days. Again, my phone is NOT doing this for my Comcast account and I don't know why.
I have about 10 e-mails now on my phone in my GMail account that I can't seem to get back on the GMail server. I need to do this so I can download the messages to my home server where all my mail is stored.
I thought maybe I could create a second IMAP GMail account in the hub and copy the messages from one account to the other, but I can't.
If I continue to let the phone get those messages, they'll continue to be removed from the server.
If I forward them to myself, then they just show up as having come from me and that's not what I need either.
If I delete the account entirely, I lose my messages and that's definitely not what I want.
I thought I could tell the phone to stop logging into the GMail account by updating the password on the device, but it has to authenticate to the server to confirm that the password is correct, and if it isn't, it won't take the password and returns an error.
So far, the only thing I've been able to do to get the phone to stop retrieving the messages is to change my GMail password and not update it on the phone. That way, the phone can't sign in to GMail at all and get any new mail. However, I still have these 10 messages on my device that I need to export somehow.
Is there a way to export mail on this device? Is there a way to copy messages from account to account? What directory is the mail stored in and what file format is it stored in? Can I convert the messages to .csv and do it that way? And why did this happen only for my GMail POP account and not Comcast?

This is a wi-fi network connection problem - not a problem with an email account.
Do you have cellular reception at home? If so, you should be able to receive email with both email accounts as long as you have an internet connection with the cellular network.
On your iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will delete all wi-fi network settings from your iPhone for every wi-fi network you have successfully connected your iPhone with.
After doing so check if your wi-fi network is available again to re-join.

Mails deleted when using Mail Sender Adapter

Hello All,
I have a Mail to XI to File scenario.
Transport Protocol: POP3
Message Protocol: XIPAYLOAD
The mail is getting converted to a xml file in the folder specified in File Adapter, but it gets deleted directly , I dont recieve any mail in my Inbox.
I have used POP3 so there is no checkbox where i have specified to delete the mails after reading.
Also another strange thing is when i try to send a mail to myself , this mail is not converted to XML and it comes to my Inbox.
Any clues why such a strange thing happens!
Thanks
Meghana

Yes dear..
I will explain you the process behind it.See first the mail comes into the mail Box..for that time period you will be able to see it.Now when it gets deleted,this is time when XI has picked up your mail and processed it to give you the file.Exactly after few seconds when you refresh it (when required) you can see the xml in your target directory.
Get back if you have more doubts.
Thanks
