Email Inbox Retention Question

I'd like to be able to designate a length of time that my Verizon.net Inbox messages are keep before they are moved to deletion folder. Is this possible?
If you page down to the oldest messages you can't select the screens all box because it deletes the entire Inbox. Is there an easy way to delete old messages?
Thanks

Thanks Anthony. I've been using the Verizon email server as backup to my local copy and therefore looking for an easier way to delete emails.
It seems to me that saving emails on the server for a certain number of days would be a great future feature and allow for cleaning up of accounts.
If you are already using a pop3 client to check your mail, there is almost certainly a setting within that program to accomplish this. If you can tell us which program you are using, someone can probably direct you to the correct option.

How do I add more email inboxes to the Mail application?

Hey guys!
Just a quick question! An answer in which I'm sure will be simple. How is it I add more email inboxes to the pre-installed "Mail" application? In other words, I have two email addresses in which both are used by myself. One is Yahoo, and the other Google Mail. How is it I can view both of the inboxes for these email addresses at the same time on the mail app?
Regards & thanks for any answers!

One option available is to open a new viewer window and then select the mailbox.
Mail > File > New Viewer Window

I need to deactive icloud to be able to repair my phone as it is damaged. however when signing into icloud it appears with a box asking me to verify the information in my email. When loging into my email inbox, there is no message there from icloud to verify. so how do I get onto icloud or how else can I deactivate it without using my device?

Hi ryball89,
Happy Holidays! If you are having issues with the verification email for your iCloud/Apple ID, follow the steps below:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email
Not sure where that email was sent? Here are some tips to help you find it.
When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
Search for the email
We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
Make sure you're checking the correct email account
If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account.
If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
Resend the email
To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
Make sure that you're getting email
If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address.
Contact us
Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.
Cheers,
Judy

How to exit email inbox but not disconnect???

It seems as though when you exit the email inbox it will also 'disconnect active mailbox connections'.
I believe this active connection is necessary to receive future email notifications; If I 'Show Open Apps' and navigate to Standby the connection is retained and I receive email notifications. If I 'exit' and break the connection I no longer receive notifications.
So question: How do I exit email without breaking the connection? or how do I set up the connection so that it is always on?
FWIW I have an IMAP email account setup on the phone, with Auto Retrieval set to Email Notifications/Auto Update.

In case other are having this problem: With Outlook.com email, I found that mark email items as Not Junk within Mac Mail had not effect. Subsequent emails from the same sender still went into the Junk folder.
I had to sign on to my Outlook.com email at www.outlook.com website and mark the emails there as Not Junk. Subsequent emails from the same sender than arrived in my Mac Mail Inbox, as desired.

TS3899 Why cant i delete all my email inbox messages together?

Why cant i delete all my inbox email messages together?, I'm using my iPhone 5s, i can delete all my junk email messages together but not my inbox email messages, i have to individually tick each inbox message one at a time tick/delete, its extremely annoying, it doesn't make any sense, can anyone please explain why such an obviously much needed function has been left out for email inbox messages but included only for junk email messages?

There's no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question. You can make suggestions to Apple using this:

Hello Team,
I am getting this error when I am trying to put some discussion.

True, normally it is not working and the guru does not know why. Your question is special as it does work yet you dont know why.
Bottom line is that you must provide more information and have tried to analyze it yourself...

My ISP homepage will not load, and I have a hard time getting to my email inbox

My ISP is Wildblue, through Directv.net. I am having trouble with the log-in page loading, (iGoogle.com) and have to keep reloading and hitting the back button. Then the same thing happens when I try to bring up my email inbox. When I first got Firefox, I did not have this problem, but now it is every time I try to log on.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Your hardware problem is best addressed at an Apple store genius bar. Make an appointment.
Ciao.

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server not from my iPad inbox only?

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server also not from my iPad inbox only?
Because when i delete emails from my iPad inbox, it will be deleted on my iPad only but when i check my email inbox server from the browser its not deleted!
So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

Hi Pierrot10,
Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.

When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.
Is there any resolution to this issue?

Yes, they are registered for iMessage and IOS 5.0.1 update. A few days ago (10-12 days) the group messaging was working fine, but now the messages are being delivered to the email inox instead of iMessage app.

Emails sent from my Q10 do not appear in my Comcast email Inbox.

Emails sent from my Q10 do not appear in my Comcast email Inbox. This worked a week ago, when I set up my email. I've deleted and re-added my Comcast email address in my Q10. Still not working. Can anyone help?

Is your pc set to retrieve emails automatically and then remove them from the email server. This might preclude them ever reaching your phone.
