Email not deleting off server

Anyone know how to make POP servers obey the preference in Apple Mail: Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: When moved from inbox. ??
This is the way I have all my mobile devices set with the hope that I can delete unwanted email once and not have to do it on each Apple device I have redundently.
My Mac Pro main computer is set to remove mail immediately which my POP servers obey.
The issue is when I'm away from my Mac Pro and want to check my mail delete once.
I know IMAP would obey this, but I have several email accounts and ISPs and want to have one set of folders and with IMAP I gather I'd have to store my email separately for each email account which is the one virtual for POP where I can store "On My Mac" in one set of folders on my Mac Pro, realizing I can't access them as if they were stored on a server using any device.

I have the same issue. Want to delete from iPhone and use the email on my computer to do all the detail work. Without it, until I can do the detail work on my computer, I will have thousands of emails piling up on my phone. I have tried setting up 2 file folders on my exchange server email; one called 'file' for filing certain emails and one called 'pending action' for those emails requiring more detailed work. It works - - but creates additional process steps each day. Even if I have already filed or done the detail work with the email on the computer, those emails still come to the iPhone. Again, creating double work.
Some smart and very organized person must have come up with an app to resolve this, don't you think?

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!

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.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

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.

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.)

Deleted pop mail not deleted from server

mail retrieved from pop acct & deleted, and trash emptied, is not deleted from server, so it gets re-retrieved.
settings>delete from server> when removed from inbox, but the msgs are still on the server as viewed from the isp's web interface.

been there, done that;-}
Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
it seems mail.app is designed for imap, in that msgs can't be deleted when d/l'd by default, but must be config'd "when moved from inbox"

For some reason, movies I rent on my iPad will not delete off of my iPad after I watch them. Is there some backdoor way to remove the rentals? Wifi (No 3G), IOS 6

That means there's no videos left on the iPad, and the downloads aren't really there.
Sounds like a job for Apple Support. They'll have to remove the downloads from the queue to clear the iPad.

Hotmail/Outlook eMail Messages deleted off of iPhone are not being delted off of server

I am using the MAIL app on my iPhone to acces my Hotmail/Outlook account. It is set up as a POP3 account. When I delete an email message on the phone, it is never deleted on the server, even though I have the settings in my phone set to delete them from server when removed from Inbox.
I have not found a clear answer to this issue. Right now I have 10K email messages when I log into my Hotmail

POP accounts are not reliable for deleting off the server. Contact Hotmail. IMAP accounts are what you want.

Emails not deleting on verizon server, from MS Outlook client

I evidently have 5 years of emails on the verizon server (45K emails). And have finally hit some quota. I use MS Outlook POP3 with advanced settings of - Leave a copy of the messages on the server (checked) - Remove from server after [N] days (unchecked) - Remove from server when deleted from "Deleted Items' (checked) I thought when I deleted items locally from within Outlook and eventually purged my Deleted Items folder, they would get deleted at the Verizon server as well. Evidently not. I do have multiple devices - Two Computers and an iPhone, so perhaps this prevents any one of them from permanently deleting anything from the server. Or perhaps the last one in defines it. Anyhow, other than trying to fix those settings for the future, my issue is how to best batch delete the undesired mails on the server, while still preserving the desired, as a backup of sorts, and for ease of use when bringing a new device (PC or phone) online in the future. There appears to be no "sweep"-like functions on the Verizon email website interface. All I can do is either- put 50 on screen at a time, select all, and delete, and wait for the next 50 to show, many times being from the same source.- put unlimited (45K) on screen, multi-select as many as the UI loads, delete, and wait for the UI to re-sort and display more. This hangs many times requiring me to exit to the Verizon main screen and come back into the email screen, bring them all up in default sort, then select to sort by sender. Rinse Repeat. - Delete them all - take the loss on having them as backup - Outlook has them locally. But not sure they are backed up properly. I've never tried to restore a .pst file before.- Play with the MyVerizon web site UI folders, move desired email into a new holding folder, delete the remainders eventually. But this is as tedious as purging the undesired in the first place.- Get a gmail account - notify contacts. Cut bait with the verizon.net server. Any thoughts, advice?

Actually the verizon server only held email back to April 2014. Which is sort of odd. If it purges the oldest email on its own, why did it block new email today for hitting the quota? After some further reading, I went with the heavy handed approach of deleting all email on the verizon server up to this year. I may just nuke it all. My local Outlook .pst file has the archive email I want (I think), and it gets backed up. I think I may just set the POP3 settings to delete mail off the server after 30 days, figuring we pull it daily, and only go on vacation for 2w max at a time, so we'll always be back to pull recent mail to the PC. We'll have already been reading it on the phones anyhow, but since its POP3 and not IMAP, we'll always have the option to pull locally to the PC as a repository.

They are not on the the phone, they are on the server, which the phone show you
In other words, you only see what is on the server through the phone

How can I get my email to delete off my computer as I delete it off my phone?

I can't seem to sync my phone to my computer when I delete my email. I have to delete from my phone and then log in to my Cox email to delete from there. Is there a way to get it off both at the same time? I have a POP address with cox.

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your Mail account > Advanced > Delete fro server > change it to when removed from my inbox
Another option is to forward your Cox email to your iCloud email account. iCloud uses IMAP not POP so you would not have that problem

Email not deleteing

Hello, Im sure this has been discused but i could not find it so i appologize in advance. When i delete my emails from my phone, the emails will not delete in my mailbox on my pc even though the phone asks me if i want to delete in both the phone and mailbox. I am runing vista(windows mail) and have the 4.5 v on my phone. Any help would be great . Thanks-

if its pop email it wont happen
when you use your windows mail... it is a client
it accesses the real mail server(at your mail company)
it then pulls it off the server and puts it on your PC in windows mail
the blackberry also connects to the mail server (not your windows mail) and gets the email
when you choose the delete from handheld and mailbox... it is deleting from the original mailbox on the server....not your windows mail
blackberry has no way to communicate directly to your PC mail client.
Now this is only for a pop server environment which is what you have I presume
imap and exchange work on what you want MUCH better
if you see if your email provider has imap server support, then it can be setup to the way you want it
Exchange is more for a work environment

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.

IPad Mail not deleting from server

Does anyone else have this problem? I have my mail accounts set so that they should delete emails from the server as soon as they are deleted from ipad. It doesn't seem to work though.. as I just came back home after a trip and all the dozens of email messages came flooding into my Mac inbox
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I also need to delete the mail on the ipad's mail trash perhaps...

SO SORRY for not responding.... For some reason I have not been getting emails saying there are replies to this topic.
As it happened, I thought I had solved the problem, but I haven't...
In the settings for my email accounts, I am offered the option of my emails being deleted from their server as soon as I delete them from the iPad email inbox. However, when I choose this option, they are not deleted.
DAVID I do not have the setting that you describe available for my email accounts either... It seems that different setting options appear according to the nature of the email account that is being set up.
It is clear to me that the way I have set things up is correct for what I want though, as it's very clearly stated in Settings... It's just not happening....

When you delete an email from the Z10, do you get the option "Delete from Hub and Server". If not, at some stage you must have selected "Always perform this Action. Don't show again".
You may have to do a security wipe to get it back again.
