Email history has dissapeared from my Iphone 4...

My email server, ATT/Yahoo, has a weird quirk that occasionally re-sends me all at once, all my read/saved emails back to my computer in one huge push (but NOT to my Iphone). They did this the other day and soon after, I noticed the saved emails on my phone have dissappeared?!? Now, it looks like Yahoo is deleteing the messages from the server as I read them and that is also deleting them from my phone somehow?!? I don't have Yahoo set to delete as I read? May be a coincidence that has nothing to do with my Iphone problem, but...
Now, everytime I get a new email on my phone and read it, within minutes it dissappears. I have the phone set to save the last 50 messages and yet it still deletes. What is happening?
Jeff-

There is no iPhone setting to save the last 50 messages.
There is an iPhone setting to show the 50 most recent messages. This has nothing whatsoever to do with saving messages or removing messages from the server or anything but showing the 50 most recent messages in the mailbox.
Did you create your Yahoo account on your iPhone with the Yahoo account preset? When selecting Add Account, you select Yahoo?
If so, the account as created as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app. A downside with this is Yahoo does not support accessing the account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer. If you are also accessing the account with an email client on your computer, this means you are accessing the account as a POP account with the email client on your computer and as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail app which can lead to problems.
The iPhone does not include a setting to remove messages from the server after being read, and I'm not aware of such a setting with an email client on a computer either.

  • Facetime has dissapeared from my iphone 4s how can I install it again

    On my Iphone 4s has facetime dissapeared from te scren i can"t find it anymore. Is there a way to reinstall?

    Facetime never appeared on the screen as an app and there is no way to install it.  Facetime is a part of the iOS.
    Try reading the User's Guide, then maybe you'll have a better understanding of what is going on and any possible issue that may exist.

  • How do I transfer my email history and files from windows using MS Outlook to an imac

    I am about to buy an iMac.  How do I transfer my email history and files from my MS Windows based computer, using Outlook?

    You might want to use Migration assistant. On the internet you will find the Windows software to install on your Windows computer.
    Mac has its own assistant, called configuration assistant.
    On the Windows PC, you will need to shutdown antivirus software and also to turn-off the Windows Firewall.
    After software installation and starting the program on your Windows PC, you need to run configuration assistant on your mac.
    Best and fastest sollution would be to connect both computers with a UTP cable.
    Follow instructions to be found here:
    Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac
    Hope it works out for you.
    Goodluck

    emails have been sent from my iphone and they are not from me.  what do I do to secure this doesn't happen again?  I've already changed password

    I have this problem too, it's called "spoofing" aparently.
    There isn't much you can do except change your email address which is a huge problem if like me you have an Apple one and can't change it without losing your whole iTunes and App purchase history which is a billiantly stupid bit of design on Apple's part.
    There's some interesting stuff here: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?132-how-to-stop-spoofed-email-addres ses
    but I don't think there's much chance of applying it to iCloud but I am not an expert.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Most of the music has disappeared from my iPhone!

    For no apparent reason about 80% of the music has disappeared from my iPhone, and I am traveling so most of those songs live on my home hard drive and are inaccessible to me. How and why does that happen, and how do I fix it? iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2. I did absolutely nothing other than plug my phone in to charge it prior to this happening.

    I posted a similar issue.  My new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2 only partially syncs my music library.  Even bought the 128GB to ensure no issues.  Apple Care could not help.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • TS1702 My purchased Draw Something App has disappeared from my iPhone, how do I get it back and will I have lost my points and current game?

    I have been using my draw something app for about a year and a half and suddenly it has disappeared from my iPhone.  What do i do now? I had loads of points and was up to about 30 on my latest game so if I download the app again will I go back to the start.

    Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
    Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

  • My calendar icon has disappeared from my iphone

    My calendar icon has disappeared from my iphone home screen.  It is not in the hotspot tray either.
    Help!

    It is likely i a folder, or on another page.

    This can be found in the manual.

  • My messaging function has disappeared from my iphone 5S, it's no longer in my settings

    My messaging function has disappeared from my iphone 5S, it's no longer in my settings & I have no messages icon. When I get a SMS message it shows in my notification screen with the heading com.apple.MobileSMS, it will not let me click into the message or reply. Please can anyone help?

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the songs and other content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

  • My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

    On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
    Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.
