EMail on my iPad is set to delete after a day but it doesn't.

I am getting a little tired of having to go through and delete each email and then having to go into my trash and deleting them there as well.
I have my emails to delete from trash after 24 hours but it they don't. I have to phyically go through each one.
Does anyone know how to fix this ... please??
Thanks!!

Bwilbraham-
Is your iPad able to access the internet using Safari? If not, I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.
If you are able to access the internet, then there may be a glitch in your iPad Mail setup you are overlooking. It could be something like the letter O where a zero should be, a space where none is allowed or a backward slash (\) where a forward slash (/) is required.
One other thing you can try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

HT201320 I cannot get email on my iPad. I have deleted the app and added it again. What else can I do?

I Cannot receive email on my iPad. I have deleted the app and re added it. What else can I do?

Which app was that? Like Jim states, the built-in Mail app cannot be deleted, but if you have installed alternate means, such as the Gmail app, those are not deletion-protected.
If you can successfully log in via a web interface to your mail account (thereby confirming that login credentials are valid and working), have you tried setting up the equivalent mailbox in the default Mail app? I currently have 9 different mail accounts/mailboxes accessible via the Mail app on both the iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 (3 are Microsoft Office365, 5 are Google corporate and the last is my ages-old Apple account), all in perfect sync.

How do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it from my laptop?

how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID. It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child. But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID. Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one. Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it? Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?

"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.

Outlook 2010 duplicates mail with setting Leave mail on sever, Delete After n days and pressing Send/Receive All folders

The setting Leave mail on the server and Delete after n days and Pressing Send/Receive all folders causes outlook 2010 to duplicate all mails of the last n days over and over again.
If I leave outlook 2010 open this problem does not occur, mail will be retreived without a problem. If I leave Outlook 2010 open for a long time and then press Send/Receive all folders it does work ok. If I restart Outlook 2010 and then press Send/Receive
all folders the problem occurs.
The pst file is a new one. OTher mail accounts that do have Leave mail on the server but not Remove after n days do not have the duplicating behaviour.
I have manually removed 6400 duplicate mails, if Microsoft does not solve this urgent problem soon I need to remove Office 2010 from my computer and go back to Office 2007, Office 2007 worked fine for me.
Is there a solution fir this problem, or a free tool to remove all duplicates?

Dear Pieter,
I suggest creating a new Outlook profile, and create the problematic account in the new profile, to see if the problem occurs.
Here are the detailed steps on how to create a new profile to test this issue
==============
1.    Exit
Outlook.
2.    Go to
Start > Control Panel, click or double-click
Mail.
Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected,
and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
The easiest way to locate
Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the
Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In
Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the
Address box.
Note    The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select
the profile name, and then click Properties.
3.    Click
Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
4.    Click
Add.
5.    Type a name for the profile, and then click
OK. Please also follow the onscreen instructions to create the email account in this profile.
6.    Start
Outlook, and choose this new profile.
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile, the old Outlook is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

You have sync all iCal calendars chosen or selected calendars?
No problems syncing contacts with the Address Book or with anything else included with the iTunes sync process?

How do I send group emails from my iPad? They work fine from my MacBook but not the iPad.

How do I send group emails from an iPad? They work fine on my MacBook but not my iPad.

You need a third party app to do that. Look at Mail Shot or Group Email in the app store. You cannot do it with the built in mail app and the contacts app in iOS 5 without a third party app.

Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Why does my safari mail inbox delete after 30 days?

Hi There
Can anyone help me. I cannot work out how to stop my inbox deleting after 30 days. It started about 3 months ago. Grateful for any help.
Many thanks

Safari mail inbox? As in webmail access? Seems like that would either be a policy defined by your email provider, or a user-defined setting that you set (albeit inadvertently) through a user configuration webpage at you email provider's website?
If you meant Apple's Mail.app, there is no setting in Mail Preferences to delete email from the inbox in thirty days. That would seem to me to be a policy of your email provider or else you have a rule that is doing it.

8830 Calender Message deleted after 60 days

My Calender entries are automatically being deleted after 60 days when I sync with Outlook. The Calender Help menu has a section: "Set how long your device stores calendar entries" which says to click Options then Set the Keep Appointments field, however, there is no Keep Appointments field in the Calender/Options list of fields. How can I keep appointments for a longer time period?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Just to check go to MESSAGE QUEUE/MENU KEY/GENERAL OPTIONS/SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM/
KEEP MESSAGES/select option forever.
Have you done this?

My history deletes after one day.

I have "delete after 90 days" ticked and also "clear history when firefox closes is unticked". It seems to delete everything when I turn computer off. I only have the currents day's history there while it's on.

I noticed that everytime i closed the browser, the history of the current day was gone as well, even though the option 'clear History when firefox closes' was turned off.
I manually turned them off in about:config by making them false
Privacy.ClearOnShutdown.Cache etc and switched from 'Use Custom Settings' to 'Remember History'
and it seems that firefox no longer clears the history upon closing. It is strange however that it does not seem to use the settings set in the Tools -> Options -> Privacy Custom settings
This is not a problem for all firefox users in our enterprise though, and for now an isolated incident.
Hope the above helps some people as well.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

HT201317 So if photos are deleted after 30 day from icloud

If photos are deleted after 30 days from icloud, why doesn't my available storage increase if I have had "backup device" turned off for more than 30 days.

That refers to photo stream photos, which don't count against your iCloud storage. They also aren't contained in the iCloud backup; only camera roll photos are, which are not deleted after 30 days. They stay on your device until you delete them.
