Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
As far as I know, you need to configure your email account as IMAP if you would like to have them removed on the phone when they are deleted at your PC. If you're not sure about the settings for IMAP, I suggest that you contact your email provider which should be able to give you the right settings.

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

Why can't some Hotmail emails be deleted from phone?

I can't delete some Hotmail emails from my iPhone (iPhone 5, iOS6.1.4). It doesn't happen with all Hotmail emails. It appears that this only happens with Hotmail emails that have been on the iPhone, opened on the iPhone but not deleted via the iPhone, and then deleted via my computer by accessing my Hotmail account. The emails remain in the Hotmail account on the iPhone and when I try to delete them, via "edit" and deleting selected or swiping and choosing "delete," I receive an error pop up that says "Unable to Move Messages The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." The email will temporarily be removed, but it will then reappear. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this? Thanks.

"Unable to move message to folder "Trash" because the folder does not exist"
Note: This should not affect MobileMe accounts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [affected account name] > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox on iPhone or iPod touch.
If "On the Server" is an option, select Trash below that (or select Deleted Items or Deleted Messages). Otherwise, select Trash located under "On My iPhone". Once the Deleted Mailbox has been set, tap Advanced and then press the Home button to return the Home screen.
If the Deleted Mailbox is already set to Trash, please follow these steps:
Tap another folder such as Spam under the "On the Server" section
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox, then set it to Trash located under On My iPhone.
Tap Advanced.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

HT2480 email not deleting from server when deleted from ipad

messages are not being deleted from server when deleted from ipad

Hello,
You need to tell us what the email service is. BES? BIS -- and, if so, what email provider? If BES, then see your BES admins. If BIS, then expect it to function in accordance with this KB.
Otherwise, you can try the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.

Comcast email not deleting from server

Under the "advanced" section I have my email set to remove from server when removed from inbox. Well, this does not happen! Is this an ATT issue or a Comcast issue?
If I use the Comcast app and delete email, it IS deleted from the server.
Thanks!

I think more of a Mail application issue or a Mail application issue only.
This doesn't resolve the problem, but although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This isn't a problem with an IMAP account which is designed for this very thing.
Which Comcast app are you referring to? Is there a Comcast app via the iTunes app store? If so and you want to ensure messages are deleted from the server after being accessed with your iPhone, you need to use the Comcast app.

Thunderbolt-email not deleting from server

I checked my settings and the box is checked to delete messages from the server once they are deleted off of my phone. This problem is just in the past week or so. I delete them and as soon as email refreshes again they are back. HELP!

ok I deleted and reinstalled the email account and that did not work. I then logged into web mail and deleted the items from the server. I then went to the TB and under settings deleted all data from the mail app. I then set the email account back up and no longer seem to be experiencing the issue. If you are having this issue and need a clearer explanation please let me know. Thanks!

Emails not deleted from IMAP server

For some days I have the problem that my emails which I deleted on my iMac in Apple Mail still stick on the IMAP server (web.de).
I didn't change any preferences in Mail. I double checked all settings.
This problem occurs in Apple Mail on the desktop only. Mail on iPhone does delete the emails on the server successful.
The other way around: When I delete an email on the desktop the same email disappears in iOS Mail too!!! But it still sticks on the IMAP server. Really strange.
The only way to get rid of deleted emails is to force the deletion via the Mail sidebar, right click on the account name and click the menu item "delete mails... " or so.
The support of my provider has no clue how to solve this.
Any idea?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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.

Emails are not delete from the handheld/server

Hello,
Our client has Blackberry 8330.
Emails are not deleted nor from the server nor from the phone. Maybe there any other setting set? Or are these settings set wrong?
Thanks you
He has these settings:
under Messages - Options - General Options, there's this field for "Keep message for" --> 2 months
The Options >Email reconciliation
Delete On: Mailbox & Handheld
Wireless Reconcile: ON
On Conflicsts: Mailbox Wins

Endriuska wrote:
It looks like it only synchrozines mailbox to handheld(if deleted from mailbox, will delete from handheld), but will it delete from mailbox if the email is deleted from handheld?
As discussed in the KB I linked for you, it depends. If, in the top grid, there is a YES in the Wireless Deletion column for the subject email service AND you have further configured, as per the KB you found, for deleted item reconciliation, then yes it should delete from the server when you delete from the HH.
Note that there may be a time lag, however -- deleted item reconciliation tends to be one of the lowest priority activities inside of both BIS as well as the email providers systems...I've seen it take up to 24 hours (not normally, but that's the extreme that I've witnessed).
Further, I believe that the on-HH setting for "Keep Messages" should have no effect on the server...deleted item reconciliation is a function of the end user actually deleting from the HH...not the auto-removal by virtue of this setting.
Hope that helps!

Deleted email from my iphone it does not delete from Outlook 2007

My friend has an iphone 3GS and when she deletes email from the phone it does not delete from her Outlook 2007 account. She has to manually delete it. Outlook2007 is setup to permanantely delete from the server. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Tell your friend to get an IMAP or Exchange mail account. From what you describe, your friend has a POP account, and that's the way POP accounts work.

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

Weird.
Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before. In the meantime...
By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu? Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

delete and re-add e-mail on iphone and it will update with whats current on the server

Deleting iphone email does not delete from computer

I am sure I must be missing something simple here....When I delete email from my iphone, it does not delete from my computer (either remotely or by syncing). So when I delete a bunch of emails, the very next time I open iphone email, it retrieves the very same emails just deleted....a viscious cycle. Can anyone assist with what must be a simple setting issue? Thank you.

Nathan C:
Thank you for your help.
When .Mac is configured using the .Mac option on the
iPhone it is always configured as IMAP. For that
account, on your computer are you checking the
messages via POP3, and on your computer, which
program are you using to check those messages?
.MAC Account - Home Computer: Under Mail/Preferences/Accounts it lists the Comcast account (from our ISP) as a POP and the .Mac account as ".Mac". I access mail thru Mac Mail Application and sometimes thru .mac thru the internet. Update on this account- I cleared the inbox and tried another test. Now it seems to be working. I delete a message from iphone and it will automatically delete from my home computer Mail App. and eventually it will be deleted from the .mac server when accessed thru the internet (these take much longer however). In any event it seem this account works now.
Work Account:
As for your work account, when looking at the
settings, it should say POP3, IMAP and Exchange at
the top. The button that is "pushed" is the one that
account is using. The outgoing server should
probably be smtp.comcast.net not smpt. Is that
account using IMAP, POP3, or Exchange?
I know these three options were there when the IT person set it up but now when I access this account in my iphone it does not tell me what was selected (IMAP,POP, or Exchange) under account information??? It seems to appear only when setting up a new account. Am I missing something?
Also that was a typo. Outgoing server is listed as "smtp.comcast.net"
So to give you as much info as I have:
Incoming Mail Server is "Mail.(officeservername).com" and Outgoing is "smtp.comcast.net". (Using my Comcast ISP was the only way the IT person could get the email access from Iphone to work). And to calrify what is happening on the iphone:
1.Email is accessed no problem from iphone, - downloading all new message from my work outlook works fine.
2.When I delete messages on my iphone, however, it does not delete on my office computer which is on a server network. (Visa Versa does work - when I delete a message on my computer it will delete it on my iphone.
3.NOTE : Contrary to what I posted earlier my iphone now is NOT "RELOADING" messages just deleted from Iphone but which remain on my office computer. This means half the problem is solved.
4. THE ONLY THING LEFT TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW DO I CONFIGURE SO WHEN I DELETE A MESSAGE ON MY IPHONE I AM DELETING ALSO FROM MY Computer at work?
(BTW in the above description I am referring to all wireless operation...not when syncing with iphone)
Any final helpful thoughts? Thanks again.

HT4898 So, the emails I have not deleted from my mac will not be available after I move to iCloud?

So, the emails I have not deleted from my macbook will not be available after I switch to iCloud?
Also, I have an iPhone4 and an original iPad. Will these, along with my macbook, still be compatible? IE synched?

That is incorrect, archive them now and restore them later, if they are Mobile Me emails they will move to iCloud without you doing anything, but you should still archive them first.
