Email access via POP3 not being deleted from server

I have sync'd my phone to my Verizon.net account and everything seems to work great... except one thing.  When I delete the email from my phone a copy of it still stays on the server.  Unfortunately it is the Droid X and unlike the blackberry it does not give me the option to select to delete it from the mailbox as well.  Is there any way to make a setting on my verizon.net account that will provide for better sync'ing?  I would like to have my email both on my PC and on my phone - but the point of accessing my email on the phone is so that I can delete the junk and keep what I need to ... this is making me have to do the work twice.
PS I searched through the threads for a similar issue and only came across one.  However, the topic was closed by an admin stating that the issue belongs in the wireless community.  I'm not sure I agree with this only because the issue has to do with accessing verizon.net mail via POP3 more than it does with the phone being used to access it (I would think anyway).  In any case if anyone has some input on this I would appreciate it. 

AFAIK, the device in question would have to "delete from server when deleted". The web page (server) has no way to know when you delete it from the phone. The computer can do this, but without that feature on the droid, I think your stuck.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

  • POP mail not being deleted from server

    I am brand new to the MAC world, I just got my first MAC Book Pro Sunday (switching from a PC). I was successful in setting up Mail to connect to my POP mail account (comcast) and everything so far look great, but when I delete an email and remove it from the trash it does not remove the email from the comcast server. I hope this is just something I am missing in the config being a new user and not knowing what I am doing, I do not want to have to log in to my comcast and delete my email twice.
    Thank you in advance,
    Corey

    Under the advanced tab I have the following options
    Checked:
    Enable this account
    Include when automatically checking for new mail
    Unchecked:
    Remove copy from server after retrieving a message (I did not check this because I still want to keep my mail on the server except when I delete a message then I want it deleted on the server)
    Thank you for your reply,
    Corey

  • Messages not being deleted from server

    I have read through some responses to other people in this forum who have had this problem but nothing helps. i just upgraded to 10.3.9 and didn't change my mail preferences which have always been to delete a message from my server when it is moved from the inbox (i.e. when i hit "delete").
    this always worked fine in tiger but it is not working in Panther.
    any suggestions out there?

    My messages do not delete from the server either

  • Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

    Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Old podcasts not being deleted from hard drive

    Can anyone help me with this problem? I currently have the "keep only unplayed podcasts" selected. ITunes synchs great with my Nano. If a podcast is played, it is taken off of the Nano.
    The problem is that the podcast is not also deleted from my hard drive. I have to manually delete the file and "move to recycle bin." Does anyone know a way of having ITunes actually delete the file from the hard drive? I don't want to waste so much space.
    I am using ITunes 7.

    I'm running a managed library.
    Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
    Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?

  • Email downloaded to iPhone is then being deleted from server

    I have set the iPhone "Delete from Server" option to "never", but when I download messages to the iPhone, it is still deleting from the server. Incidentally, the same happens for my iPad).
    This is a POP account.
    Have I configured something incorrectly or is this a bug?

    Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
    If you created the account with the Mail app on the iPad or iPhone using the Gmail account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account on the device.
    When accessing an account with more than one email client and the email account provider supports IMAP account access, best to access the account as an IMAP account with the email client on your computer (Outlook) and with the Mail app on your iPad and/or iPhone. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. Send a message with the Mail app on your iPad or iPhone, and the message will be available automatically in the account's Sent mailbox on the other device and available automatically in the account's Sent mailbox when accessing the account with Outlook, and vice-versa. This is what an IMAP account is designed for.
    A Gmail account can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account, and now as an Exchange account also with the iPhone's Mail app which provides for Push access with received messages and for syncing your Google online contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
    A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when most people had access to a single computer and well before there were any phones in the smart phone category and well before there were any handheld cell phones.

  • E-mail being deleted from server

    Hello,
    I have aol e-mail and use my iPhone and Outlook Express configured. Everything's working great except one issue. My e-mails are being deleted from the server after a month or so. I can't determine if the deletion is because of the number of messages or the time on the server. Is there any way to prevent this? I am not sure if it's a setting w/ Outlook Express, the iPhone or Outlook Express.
    Thanks,
    Shauna

    Well, I use the full blown version of Outlook, and right now I'm on my work computer and it is a laptop using Vista so I don't have Outlook Express on here. However, I would imagine that it is in the Accounts section. This is where you set the parameters for the mail account. You can look there, or I can check later on after I get home. Maybe someone else that uses OE can chime in here and get you the location.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Email Not Being Deleted From iPhone When Deleted On Other Devices...

    This seems to be the opposite of what most people are asking...
    If I delete an email on any device (iPhone, Mac Mail on desktop, web interface), it get’s moved to the proper trash folder on all those devices.  The deleted message is syncing properly which means my IMAP settings are correct (i.e, if I delete the message on my Mac using Mac Mail, it will show up in the trash folder on the iPhone).  However, when I “empty trash” on my desktop, the trash is not removed from my iPhone but it is removed from the server and Mac Mail.
    And conversely, if I delete the email from the trash on my iPhone, it is deleted from all my other devices.
    Why isn’t the email getting removed from my iPhone when deleted on other devices?

    Delete the account from the device then set it up again.
    Does the problem continue?  If so, address it with the Exchange Administrator.

  • Photos I delete in library are not being deleted from hard drive

    Help please. I have been trying to delete photos from the iPhoto library (Events and Photos) and emptying the iPhoto trash can. This is supposed to erase them from the hard drive.

I went through all the settings ... it works as intended on 2 out of 3 machines ... am I missing something? I can use "delete now" in Mail preferences ... not a big deal, just a nuisance.
    Thanks, Stephan
