E61i - Delete old emails from phone

Hey,
I have my E61i configured with an IMAP account. I have set it to retrieve every 30 minutes, with automatic retrieval enabled for "All" messages(only option is to retrieve Headers Only).
Now.. I started using this phone in June and have ALL my emails since then on my phone. I don't need them all on the phone as they probably hog memory. I just want to be able to see the last 50-100 emails or the last 2-3 weeks of emails. Deleting the mails only gives me to option to delete the content and leave the header behind. I don't want the headers either.
Not that I'm comparing, but my previous WinMobile phone had an option to show emails only since the last xxx days.
The only solution I am seeing is to remove the Email account, and re-configure it. Any other solution?
PS: For some reason, "push" mail seems to be working. I get email on my phone AS SOON as I receive it, not with a 30 mins or so delay. No special configuration, no BB etc!
Ciao,
CUGWMUI

Can't delete old email from iCloud

Forgot password of [email protected] that related to Apple ID but I do remember Apple ID password
then I have changed the email address to [email protected]
and deleted email address [email protected] from Apple ID
changed iTunes code to [email protected] ok
but I still can't delete iCloud email address [email protected]

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Delete old email address from cache on a MAC

Has there been a solution to delete old email addrss from the cache on a MAC? I'm not talking about iPhone or iPad devices. The last discussion on this topic was back in 2012 and it doesn't look as if this was resolved.
Bottom line, when you create an email on the mac, the auto fill pulls up every email address for an individual (current or not). The correct email address are in the contacts, but the cache is storing the really old address.
Suggestions are welcome.

Apart from the AddressBook, email addresses are also kept under 'Previous Recipients' in Mail, in the Window menu.

How can I delete old email addresses from the "From" drop down menu when sending emails?

I have some old email addresses, I think may be aliases that show up in the drop down box in the "From" in email messages that I send.
They don't show up anywhere in the Preferences/Accounts panel at all.
Very perplexed at this one.

From the Mail menubar, click Window and select Previous recipients. In there you can delete old email contacts.

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Can I set my iphone 6 up so that when I delete an email from my computer it will also delete from my phone?

Can I set my iphone 6 up so that when I delete an email from my computer it will also delete from my phone?

To do that you need to be using an IMAP type email account rather than a POP type. Check with your email provider to see if they provide this service and, if so, switch to it on all your devices.

Deleting emails from phone but choosing whether to keep them on server.

Hi,
new to Z1, actually new to Android, and wondering how to set up my Z1 so I can choose which emails to delete from just the phone or delete from phone and server. Having come across from Blackberry, which asks me whether I wish to delete email from phone or phone and server as well, I would really like to be able to delete emails from just the ohone, or from both with a delete option/choice.
Is this possible with Android/Z1?
Just to clarify, I don't want to change a setting so it only does one or the other, I want to be given the choice each time I delete emails from my phone.
Otherwise pretty happy with the phone overall.

You can set the phone to not delete any emails from the server from Email -> [menu] -> Settings -> [your account] -> Incoming settings. At the bottom of this menu you have an option for deleting emails from the server.

When I update apps on my iphone, sometimes my current email comes up as my apple id, and sometimes my old email comes up as my apple id. How can I remove my old email from my account?

When I try to update apps on my iPhone, sometimes my apple ID is shown as my current email, and sometimes my old email comes up. How can I delete the old email from my account?

I just delete the old app and repurchase the app again? They are all free apps.
That's what I'd do, since they are all free apps. Be sure & delete in iTunes as well as on your phone. When prompted in iTunes, move all files to trash & empty your trash. You don't want any trace of them left.

Welcome to the Apple community Pavinee Supajilt.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT5361 I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do this by year instead of laboriously doing it one message at a time?

I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.

Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.

How do I delete an email from my iPhone 4S, but not have the email deleted from the actual email account?

I just got my iPhone 4S and when I delete my email from the phone, they are also deleted from my email account on the computer. When I had a Blackberry, there was an option to delete from the phone only or delete from both. Does anyone know if this is possible with the iPhone and if so,m how I do it? Thanks.

Not sure what email you are dealing with but when I go into the setting for mail and choose one of my accounts I can go to the Advanced settings for that account and click on "deleted mailbox". Leave the setting for "On My iPhone" to Trash. Under "On the Server" you can change where the messages go. Default is probably set to "Trash". Change it to "Saved" (if that folder is there) or create a new folder in your email client (access it from a computer and see if you can add a folder. Then check setting on your phone to see if the new folder shows. If so, then have the emails go to that folder. I would think this should work the way that you want. Just test it out and see if that works.

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.
