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.

  • How do you set your deleted e-mail on the ipod from deleting off the providers server?

    How do I keep messages I delete off my i-pod from deleting from my provider's server?  I have another smart phone and when I delete a message off my ipod it deleted from the server and from my phone.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    If the mail account is a IMAP or Exchange account that is how it works. Those accounts synchronize mail on all devices.
    If the mail account is a POP3 account the go to Settings>Mail>the mail account>Advanced>Deleted Messages>Remove and set to never.

  • Having Some Mail issues on Apple Mail 5.2

    Hi All - Having some mail issues lately with my gmail account Imap set up.
    I can receive mail but when trying to send mail it pops up with the follwoing:
    "Can not send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
    I tried deleting the gmail account on my iMac and setting it up again.  in the set up  It gives me two choices as an outgoing server:
    smtp.gmail.com and just Gmail.   If I choose Gmail I can send the messages, but is this secure?  I've always used smtp.gmail.com for outgoing without any problems.
    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Thanks for responding BGreg - Yes everything looks OK under the advanced tab (see below)  I never had any
    "Red Dots" in connection doctor on the old smtp.gmail.com but it wouldn't work.  The new outgoing server - labeled merely Gmail works and appears to be the same as smtp.gmail.com, but I've never seen this in the past - it's always been called smtp.gmail.com   I wonder if Google changed the name?

  • Mail not moving messages or deleting from server until application quitted

    I have an Outlook.com email account. When I delete messages or move them in Apple Mail, the change is not reflected on the server until I quit the program completely. This isn't happening with other actions. Mail is immediately marked as read or flagged on the server for example. When I move or delete messages in Mail they actually show up in both the original location and the new location until the application is quitted.
    Anything I can do to fix this?

    Hi Thomas
    Yes...personal folders are mailboxes I've created to organize my mail. I know as a fact that this messages still are on the server even after moving them to "personal folders". anyway I think i can get around this issue by rightcliking on the account and then getting account information. I can then filter by "removed from my mac". at that stage there's an option to select those messages and "delete from server"...I think this will work...will try now.
    Thanks for your help

  • Mail won't let me turn off Server Authentication for .Mac accounts

    Greetings. Mail won't let me alter my server settings for .Mac. I am attempting to turn off "server authentication" so that I can use my .Mac account via mail through a hotel network, but every time I change the setting and exit the preferences screen Mail automatically reverts back to the previous setting. Ideas?

    Set up a new account for that with account type either IMAP or POP (not .Mac) as you desire.

  • ICloud Mail issues: "Cannot Load Mail" and "Cannot Get Mail"

    I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to access iCloud Mail which is visible in two places:
      - on a iOS device (iPad and iPhone): when opening Mail.app and trying to check my iCloud Inbox:
          "Cannot Get Mail" "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."
       - on http://www.icloud.com: when clicking the Mail icon:
         "Cannot Load Mail" "Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." [Reload] [Report to Apple] [Close Mail]
    Oddly enough synching Contacts and Calendar items works fine on the iOS device (so username and password are obviously correct), and logging onto http://www.icloud.com using these credentials with use of all other application icons (Contacts, Calendar, Find my iPhone) seems to work also.
    I created a "free" me.com account to enable "Find my iPhone" when iOS 4 was released (which doesn't include mail), and already had a Apple ID. Presumably these got merged now, maybe contributing to the issue?
    iCloud is only available to me through the web or my iOS devices, I currently don't have Lion installed.
    Suggestions?

    I am in the exact same boat:
    I was a MobileMe subsciber who migrated to iCloud
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]; Apple ID [email protected]
    All iCloud services work as intended EXCEPT mail
    I can access iCloud Mail by:
    Mail.app in Lion
    When I access my iCloud mail on my iOS devices, I get "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."  I know for a fact the password is correct, and all other services work.
    When I access iCloud online, again all services EXCEPT mail work.  Here, I get the "Cannot Load Mail." message
    Has anyone resolved this; or is this an Apple issue?  This is driving me crazy.

  • Email not deleting off server

    Anyone know how to make POP servers obey the preference in Apple Mail: Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: When moved from inbox. ??
    This is the way I have all my mobile devices set with the hope that I can delete unwanted email once and not have to do it on each Apple device I have redundently.
    My Mac Pro main computer is set to remove mail immediately which my POP servers obey.
    The issue is when I'm away from my Mac Pro and want to check my mail delete once.
    I know IMAP would obey this, but I have several email accounts and ISPs and want to have one set of folders and with IMAP I gather I'd have to store my email separately for each email account which is the one virtual for POP where I can store "On My Mac" in one set of folders on my Mac Pro, realizing I can't access them as if they were stored on a server using any device.

    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 off server

    How do I automatically set messages to delete off the server? Like after 14, they automatically delete. How can I do that?

    They are not on the the phone, they are on the server, which the phone show you
    In other words, you only see what is on the server through the phone

  • Mail slow to access gmail - but only on one computer

    In my office are an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both with Mavericks and latest Mail updates, both on the same network.
    The iMac is often an hour behind the MBP to receive the same gmails. Why? I've found that it helps to shut dow Mail and reopen it.
    (I also have three iOS devices accessing the same gmail accounts - it's only the one iMac which is slow)
    Thanks!

    I was wondering if there was a Server involved, & while I know very little about LDAP, I think once it is available in each account, you could still do that, but you may need to but a delay script in ahead of it to wait for the connection.
    There are other ways to do it, but I'm not sure how/if they'd work since an account has to login first.
    Any chance you could just store/have that APP on the Mac in question?

  • What would be the reasons for my iMac keyboard to freeze up while online? Several page reloads brings it back but only for one set of typing. If I stop or need to delete it freezes.

    Using Firefox, Safari and Chrome depending on what I am working on or gaming. All recent updates as of 3.19.13
    iMac is fully loaded first quarter 2009 model. I use Office.
    Problem:
    While online typing just stops. This occurs most frequently when I have to change something or delete, it does not matter how many letters or numbers.
    Page reloads sometimes take 2 or 3 times for any effect, then it is only for one straight set of typing. If I have to stop and delete or go back and do something as small as adding a letter it will not type. The is well known muted "dump" sound.
    Is it possible that I was somehow infected with malware? No one else uses the computer and I do not go to any sites I am unfamiliar with or are gambling or ****.
    Help please. I am a writer.

    Take a look at your computer's CPU and RAM usage with Activity Monitor, It some like your system is slowing down not you keyboard.  Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • Strang contact on my phone...can't be deleted. I can delete other contacts, but not this one.

    There's a strang contact in my phone from China. No phone number, but a bunch of info like an address, even his link to facebook. I can't delete this contact, but I can delete any other contact in my phone. Is this some kind of virus? how can i delete this?

    There are no known viruses for an unjailbroken iOS device.
    Did you recently install an app that could be using this contact for some reason?
    The next few troubleshooting steps, although 3 is unlikely to solve anything but it can't hurt...
    3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.

  • My e-mail is no longer being deleted off my mac mini when I delete from my iPad

    Question:
    I am working on Mac Mini with Yosemite and my iPad 4
    All stuff is up to date.
    All my e-mail accounts sync with each other and everything seems fine. But, when I delete my mail on my iPad it does not get deleted on my Mac Mini?
    It did before, but now it no longer is updating.
    Why?
    I'm I missing a setting?
    Advise would be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Do this for BOTH devices:
    Go to settings, internet accounts, and then log out of mail. Then log back in.
    Maybe your email will sync with your devices.

  • Phantom Blank Spam blocking Mail from retrieving new mail in Apple Mail

    Over the past few days my wife and I have both had difficulties downloading pop-3 mail from our accounts (from a UK based ISP, UKonline) onto our separate computers (Powerbook G4 and MacBook). I have no idea yet whether this is affecting other ISPs or other Mac or PC platforms or mail clients, but it is definitely affecting both of our Mail apps running under 10.4.7.
    The problem seems to revolve around blank email messages being received into our respective accounts by at our ISPs mail server.
    These blank messages, presumably some form of spam have no sender, no recipient, no date, no source code, no body text and no subject.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function, or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through 'Get Mail'.
    I have contacted my ISP and to date had no firm response from them. One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    The fact that these messages have no date means that under Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' facility, they always appear at the top with the CURRENT date and time when sorted by date. In this way, they are easy to spot. Also, if sorted by size, they also appear at the top because they are 0k in size. They appear to act as a blockage to receiving new mail until they are cleared.
    I'd be grateful to hear if anyone else is having this problem or has found a solution to it, or indeed whether this is an ISP problem.
    With thanks

    Hello Jamie.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem
    as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox
    (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function,
    or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail
    automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention
    other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail
    will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through
    'Get Mail'.
    What is your setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app?
    If set to right away, does this have any effect?
    One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows
    PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank
    phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    Of course - especially if this operative is using Microsoft's Outlook or OE which usually don't have problems downloading anything including viruses, adware and spyware.
    I'm not sure why these "Ghost" spam messages cause this problem with the Mail.app but these are obviously sent by a spammer to cause problems.
    How about your ISP doing something about blocking all messages at the incoming mail server that are completely blank such as these so they don't arrive in any of their customer's Inbox mailbox at the server since these messages are intended to cause problems and are completely blank anyway? No different from any other type of spam or as messages are scanned for viruses at the server. Although Apple needs to look into this, your ISP is not completely off the hook or has no responsibility IMO.
