E71 - fully removing deleted mail

I actually have two problems:
1) Deleted mail headers remain in my mailbox, with apparently no way to actually fully remove them from the machine.  If I delete a message, I want it to GO AWAY!  As it is now, it just has a red strike through the envelope icon.
2)  On the Home screen, the mail displays a number which I can't figure out.  Right now it says Gmail (5).  I have, in fact, zero unread, unsent, drafts, or even undeleted mails in Gmail!  I have nothing!  Before it said 2, now 5... I can't figure it out, and I want it to say 0 considering there aren't any new mails!
Weird stuff here, people.

I agree that defaut mail is weird or rather illogical. By right when a mail is deleted, it should NOT be displayed in inbox at all.
After some time using the default mail application or "messaging" (since E61i, now E71), I come to understand  that the "messaging" is a mirror of the mail server.  E.g. if the mail server has 10 e-mails, then Nokia's messaging/mail also will have 10 even if you have deleted.
So to permanently removed all e-mails in Nokia's messaging/mail , then you must
removed or delete all e-mails in your mail server, then;
connect Nokia's messaging/mail with your mail server for updating
And all e-mails are gone in your Nokia's messaging/mail.
To Nokia: please improve! Why not add a "trash" and move all deleted mail from "inbox" to "trash"?

  • How do I set up Mail to remove deleted mail from Brighthouse server?

    My Brighthouse/Time Warner Mail says I am at 100% capacity and I need to go to the roadrunner site and manually delete items from the server. I used to have a PC and there was a way to set up outlook so that when I deleted an email, it would be taken off the server.
    How do I set this up in Mail?  (I said safari but meant mail earlier)

    Hi there jhoche1,
    It sounds like you are looking for the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" setting. This setting can be found at Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Delete mail from server after removed from IN BOX

    I have a mail management issue I have not been able to fully solve.
    I am balancing the same POP email accounts among the laptop using Mail (for home use) and my desktop using Eudora Pro (for work). Using Eudora, I can manually select to delete a message from the server. Eudora's manual deletions are flawless. Using Mail, the only option I can see that will help me do this is to select delete mail "When moved from In Box." If I hit the "delete" key, wouldn't that be the same as "moving if from the IN BOX?" When is the protocol actually carried out? On the next mail check? Immediately? Upon quitting and restarting Mail? I'm confused as to how this happens and why it does not seem to work all of the time.
    Any and all assistance is most appreciated.
    Much obliged,
    Mick

    Yes, deleting a message counts as moving it out of
    the inbox. The commands to remove the message from
    the server are sent the next time you check mail from
    that server, but only if there are new messages to be
    received from the server. Yes, many of us feel that
    is a bug in Mail, that it should send the remove from
    server commands the next time you check mail, whether
    or not there are new messages to be downloaded.
    Oh Gawd, I bet that's it. Yes, if that is the case, I would agree. It does not lead to efficient mail management if there needs to be a new message there. Do you know of any plans to change or alter that? Or has someone written an AppleScript of some kind to execute the command regardless?
    It's a great command, otherwise. It's nice to be able to delete a message off of one computer and have it delete off of the server without any extra hassle.
    Just wondering if there are any workarounds out there other than sending oneself a new message to get the delete from server command to activate.
    cheers,
    Mick

  • I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

    I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash.  I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash bin but somehow managed to delete the bin instead.  Does anyone know who to reinstate the bin?

    You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

  • Delete mail from server when removed from inbox

    I have a POP e-mail account set up. Under the mail account advanced settings there is an option to delete mail from the server when I delete it from the iPad inbox. I assume this is a valid option for the account since it is shown, and it is what I would like to do. However it doesn't appear to be working. Is this truly an available option?

    I also have a POO account wit ph Verizon and experienced the same thing. Apple tech said that is a property of POP accounts and I would have to change the account to Imap for the iPad to be able to delete from the server.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Delete mail from server

    I use a pop3 account for mail. Can I set up the mail program to delete mail from server when I delete mail locally?

    Not precisely. You can set it to delete when when you move a message from the Inbox which should have the same effect in most cases, but I haven't tested it to make sure. 
    Mail -> Accounts -> Your POP account. Go to the Advanced pane and check the box that says "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" and make the appropriate setting in the pulldown.
    Regards.

    There are settings in Gmail that control which messages are visible

  • AOL: deleted mail on laptop is not reflected in iTouch mail

    My wife will read HER AOL e-mail on her iTouch when she is out at the office. Then later when she is home she will read her AOL e-mail via her MacBook and THEN delete messages from AOL via her main account. Yet, when she updates the mail on her iTouch the list of e-mails visible on the iTouch does not change (sync?) to reflect the deletions that she made on her MacBook. Plus it says she has something like nearly 100 messages to download?!?
    I have set-up my sbcglobal account to remove e-mails from their server ONLY when it is downloaded onto my G4 at home - all other remotely accessed e-mail stays on the server until such time as I read those saved e-mails from home and then they are expunged but saved on my computer at home. I assume there is a similar setting for AOL: that is - keep everything on their server but only REMOVE it from their server when it is downloaded at home.
    Or is this more of a fundamental set-up issue with the mail account on the iTouch?

    You are correct in assuming that you can set the iPod to leave messages on the server. I do it all of the time.
    To change the e-mail settings got to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account Name > Advanced. You will see a setting "Delete from server" option that you can set to what you need.
    This is correct as long as you are dealing with a pop account. If AOL mail is imap, then deleting items on the touch results in inbox items being deleted on the server.
    Mail syncing on the touch via iTunes does not sync messages, however. Your wife will have to delete messages on her touch after she reads them. The only way around this, at least currently, is to use Apple's Mobile Me system.

  • Package folder not fully removed from DP

    Wanna ask, i have removed the package from my DP by selecting removed button from the package properties. But when i did a manual search on my DP, i found out that that the package folder is still present in the DP as shown below. But from the console, the
    content status already shows 0 targetted.
    Question is, how do i make sure that these folder are fully being deleted from my DP HD when i select removed button from the package properties? Do i need to manually delete these folders then? Or is my step in removing the package from DP is wrong? Need
    you guys advice.

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
    Did waiting longer solve this problem?

  • How do I remove extra mail boxes

    I am trying to remove extra mail boxes from my iPad 1, with no success. Help please

    IF it is a mailbox that you added to the account - when you are in the email account in the window that shows all of the mailboxes for the account - tap on the edit button - then tap on the mailbox that you want to remove - a new window will pop up with the red delete button in it. Tap it to delete the mailbox.
