Email retention in Inbox changes daily - What gives?

Does anyone know what the deal is with Verizon's email retention in the inbox?  When I read the "policy" it looks like mail is retained for 90 days.  However, today for example, I only have the last 5 days of email still in my inbox!    If I save it to a folder, I'm ok, but if I leave something for a few extra days in my inbox it can disappear unexpectedly.
This is not exactly what I would expect from a pay-for-service email provider that happens to be one of the largest internet companies on the planet...

I use Verizon web mail and  nothing is ever deleted from my Inbox unless I delete it.   I have windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.  Only my trash is deleted  by Verizon.  All of my other folders stay intact,

  • I use Earthlink for email but want to change.  What else do Apple-users like for emails?  I use MBA and iPod Touch.  My concerns are security and ease of changing pswds --had a scary experience at Elink.

    I use Earthlink for email but want to change.  What else do Apple-users like?  I use MBA mid 2012 and iPod 5 touch.  Concerns are email security and ease of changing pswds.

    Apple has made several well-publicised statements regarding their commitment to privacy and the security of their various iCloud services. If they were to fall short of a goal they stated so prominently for so long, it would have a material effect on the company's value, not to mention being extremely embarrassing. I think they're pretty serious about it.
    Like anything else though, iCloud is as secure as the passwords you use. To change your iCloud password read iCloud: Change your iCloud account password.

  • ICloud telling me email is taken.  The email is my mobileme address.  What gives?

    I am trying to set up email and Notes back up in iCloud and am required to set up an iCloud email account.  I have a .me account already and when I enter this in the prompt on my iPhone4 it says the email is already taken.  What can I do about this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    i,ve spent 2 days on this, doin me head in, and not a fan of ios5 at this point in time. What i have discoverd is that the itunes ID works on all things ipod touch 3g, ipod touch 4g, and iphone4 to download and sync some items. for photostream and notes+email to work you have to use a new me.com email address (even though I have a paid for me.com email address, it does not give an option to sign in using that email address.
    I have also dicovered that everything needs to identical for actual syncing. Even then notes don,t sync and email syncs on 2 items but not the others. so now I have what apple call a synced, ipod touch 3g, ipod touch 4g, iphone4, Appe tv, and Mac all syncng with different bits of info on each one. No 2 of them have the exact same info. Mobile me disk space is impossible to access after icloud update, so I don,t know why I am paying for 20gbs of cloud space that I can,t use.
    I,m giving up on it at this stage, have searched through millions of forums and other websites etc, and now am completely disgusted with the ios5 operating system. Any good that it may have brought has now been diminished to anabsolute distust of it all and I may never try to resolve it, as I don,t think any update should need this level of customer interaction to get it to work. Microsoft stopped that kind of attitude 3 or 4 upgrades ago. It appears that apples need to have a media event is more important than its cstomers accessing what is in my opinion a BETA release of IOS5 software.
    What really irks me is the fact that, as a paid up customer of mobile me, I started to lose bits of info unless I upgraded all the devices at the same time to eventually access Icloud, and then when I do it, I spend days trying to get them all to function together. If I had not had the mobile me account I woud not have needed to upgrade all the devices at the same time.
    For the record some of these are purely toys, but the phone and ipod 4g were actually accessing work related information, and now they don,t. Really really annoying.
    Incidentally I could not use the paid for mobile me email address and had to create new mobile me email addresses, which I now have cluttering up my email accounts, amd btw it seems the devices are using these email addresses for syncing hence the different information on each one.

  • After recent updates, my speeds have dropped off. My iTunes pauses and buffers frequently during a song. Apple has kindly replaced my Apple TV, but the problem remains. I have spent big money on the latest WiFi router (Netgear), but no change. What gives?

    I am using Apple TV, linked to my computer network via a NetGear WiFi router. After the latest apple updates, it now takes forever to load my library from my computer. Music pauses frequently to buffer before continuing, and pictures take a long time to load. Apple has replaced my apple tv on warranty, but nothing has improved.

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • My ipad3 gives me this message about once a week: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for "yahoo" is incorrect. Mail will send after I enter password. But it hasn't changed. What gives?

    Cannot send mail

    I have an occasional glitch like that (not using Gmail). If I were you and it is that infrequent, I would NOT try anything to "fix" it.

  • Someone in Australia was using my email address and when I changed email names to reinstall Itunes it only gives me states from Australia.  Is there some cache on my system that should be cleared or removed?

    Someone in Australia was using my email address and when I changed email names to reinstall Itunes it only gives me states from Australia.  Is there some cache on my system that should be cleared or removed?

    Good luck.    I have been trying to report to Apple Support about a Bogus Email I received today, which said I had made a purchase. Naturally, I was to cancel this bogus purchase by giving out personal details etc to them. 
    The real question is: how did they get my email as someone who had purchased from Itunes?. I cannot believe that ti si coincidence.
    HAVE the Australian Apple IDs [where users have supplied their email addresses] been compromised?

  • I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email.  I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted.  I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing.  How do I solve

    I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email.  I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted.  I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing.  How do I solve this.

    What you are describing sounds like you created a new apple id with your new comcast email address. There may be apps on your ipad that are associated with another id that was using your verizon email address. If thats what you're saying then those apps need to be updating by using the apple id that was used when they were downloaded.
    If you're talking about something else then maybe a lttle clarification is necessary.
    Go to settings/itunes and app stores. make sure the correct apple is shown.
    Go to settings/mail, contacts and calendars. Makes sure all of the accounts are current.
    Go to settings/icloud, facetime and messages, verify the same.

    You will need to contact Apple support. You can use the link in the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
    If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support.

  • HT5621 Trying to change the email on my apple ID but get error message that the email I want to change to is already used for notifications. What do I do?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
    Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
    I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
    If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
    Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.

    It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

  • Changed shortcuts in Acrobat 9, what gives?

    Just upgraded to Acrobat 9 and found my usual shortcuts not working. Specifically, I always switch between ctrl+[+] to zoom in and ctrl+[0] to get whole page view. In Acrobat 9 this appears to be removed, without any way to manually edit it. As far as i can tell after trying/checking, ctrl+[0]  zooms in, and  ctrl+[+] doesn't do anything, and there is no way to change it. I can't believe this is true! Why on earth make such a change? Or is it just because I have a Swedish keyboard layout, and it works in English keyboards? Can anyone confirm this, and better still, suggest a solution? No way I will stick with 9 if this change is permanent and non-changeable (I don't see any immediate need Acro 9 over 8, I just upgradeed because it was included in CS4 that I just installed). Cherio

  • I can't access a block of emails in the inbox of one of my email addresses. What has happened?

    When I click on emails in the inbox of one of my email addresses, nothing is displayed (or in the case of one of them, a large block of characters is displayed, like this "C+Z3dc7paG+d3jJtavOUpob6ulqppnp").
    This only affects emails up until the last few days, which all appear to be OK. I can also send and receive emails to this particular email address.
    What may have happened, and what can I do about it?

    right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button.

  • Initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    When I set up Adobe reader on my computer to be able to download books from a library and then transfer to my Nook e-reader, I initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
    Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
    Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
    Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
    Launch the browser and open the PDF.
    Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances  should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
    On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
    Perform your steps to cause the crash.
    Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
    Thanks in advance for all your help
