Emails disappear on iPhone after opening Outlook and viewing emails there

Hi everyone,
I have been scouring the net to see if anyone else has this issue and from what I'm seeing there seems to be no real concrete answer that I could find.
I just bought the iPhone 4 and what I was trying to do was sync my work email to my phone, which I was able to do successfully and it works great. The contacts, calendar, and emails sync just fine. I can also view all of my folders that I had set up in Outlook.
Because this set up so beautifully for me, what I tried to do was set up two other employees with the same thing.
They both have the 3GS model. I went in on their phone and used the Exchange method just as I had done on my iPhone 4, also using the same information (except for their user name and password for their email accounts of course).
The verification says that it went through fine but what we noticed was that when they open Outlook to view any of their emails, all of the emails on their iPhone disappear. Everything.
The other thing we noticed was that their folders were also not showing up on their phones, where as my folders were easily accessible on mine.
Overall, they can send and receive. Their contacts, folders, calendars don't sync, and emails disappear once Outlook is opened.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening and know of any solutions to stop the emails from disappearing on their phones?
(One of the guys has iOS 3.1.3 and the other guy has iOS 4.0.2 like my iPhone 4).
Thanks for any help!

Thank you diesel, I will have to find another way to tell my boss.  Using the Yahoo account and iCloud method he could clear his iPhone of emails and know they would still be on his office computer.  I guess he has a choice to make.
Thanks again, Louis

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

    Error code: MobileMe Services has encountered a problem and needs to close
    I get this mesage everytime i open Outlook and it slows down opening. This problem started when itunes updated. What do I do to solve this?

    Hi turingtest2 (you pass, BTW):  Thanks for the speedy reply.  MobileMe doesn't appear in the list of programs which can be uninstalled.  I tried the link you suggest: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall but when I tried to "Run Now", I get the error message:  " Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred... etc.... [code 80072F8F]"  So googled this error & found a tool called (80072f8f) Repair Tool   -  I'm leery to download yet more stuff from non-microsoft sites -- any recommendations?

    I never had this problem, but just noticed it happening.. Please note it's a BUG. I went out and bought a 128GB  iPhone just to hold all my songs. It wouldn't work. This never happened with the iPhone 3/3s/4/5/5s but started happening with the iPhone 6. After 40 hours of working through all possible solutions on the web and with Apple cares support (supposedly senior level) They finally suggested what the problem was. I had "Convert higher bit songs to 128  aac" Checked. This does not work One more thing when I unchecked that, the sync took like 3.5 hours instead of the 9-12 hours is usually took even on the smaller iphones. I have 98.7GB of music. Before I was just syncing a list of specific songs.
    The syncing seems to be random when it has the problem though.

  • Email icon and function disappears 3 seconds after opening a PDF in Acrobat 8.

    Using Adobe Acrobat 8 with updates applied, when opening .pdf files the email function disappears 3 seconds after the file opens.  I have had this program in my PC for years, and this functionality worked up until last week when it disappeared.
    I have been informed that this program is no longer supported by telephone, and that I need to upgrade to gain access to support.
    I have reinstalled the program and the problem persists.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Jason,
    I would recommend you to do a selected startup and then enable the programs one by one to isolate which program might be causing this.
    Please refer the KB: Restart Windows in a modified mode | Windows 7, Vista for selective startup of Windows.

  • Mail disappearing form Iphone after viewing it on PC

    Whenever I check email on my home PC, the email then disappears from my Iphone. I have a corporate email as well, and I don't have the problem with that one.
    Can anyone tell me the settings that I need in order to keep email on my Iphone after I have checked it on my home PC?
    Thanks,
    3girlsmom

    Sounds like the account is a POP account. If so and the email account provider for the account does not support accessing the account as an IMAP account - you can't create and access the account as an IMAP account if the email account provider does not support it, what is the account setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded with Outlook or with whichever email client you are using on your PC for accessing the account?

  • Exchange Calendar Events Disappearing from iPhone after Editing

    iPhone 6 running iOS8.
    Exchange calendar events are disappearing from iPhone right after I edit them from my phone. But they are still visible on my MacBook in Outlook.
    It used to happen very rarely but lately it has been happening very frequently. Haven't been able to find a pattern and re-create it.
    Tried searching online for this issue. Found quite a few threads about calendar sync issues, including the GMT bug but haven't been able to find this exact issue that I have been facing.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem and it has nothing to do with filing or moving emails,  for instance just before I logged in here to find a solution for the problem, I had just received and email on my iPad.  I was reading it then clicked on a link.  When I finished reading the link In Safari  and went back to the email, it was gone.   I have replied to an email then come back to it and it was gone.  This had nothing to do with viewing the email on a ore device.  This is a real problem I have asked about before and no one seems to know the answer.

  • Every time I open Outlook I am informed there is a problem and it must close.

    The repair dialog box then opens, I click start repair, it says that there is a pst problem with my calendar (which is linked with my gmail calendar), it says the problem has been repaired, and yet when I go back to outlook the same thing happens over and
    over.
    I have been using outlook on this new Lenovo Yoga 2, linked to my gmail calendar, for months.  This just started happening yesterday.
    At this point, outlook is useless to me.  There must be a solution.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Since it says there is a .pst problem, I suggest you run Scanpst.exe to scan and repair the .pst file. The location of Scanpst.exe depends on your Outlook and Windows version:
    Outlook 2013
    32-bit Windows C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
    64-bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15 
    64-bit Outlook C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
    Click-to-Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
    Outlook 2010
    32-bit Windows C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
    64-bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14 
    64-bit Outlook C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
    Outlook 2007
    32-bit Windows C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
    64-bit Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12 
    If the problem persists after repairing with Scanpst.exe, I need to know more information:
    1. What kind of repair dialog box was it? What did it try to repair?
    2. You mentioned you are using a Gmail Calendar, how did you set it up in Outlook? With Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook?
    Generally Gmail users choose IMAP or POP in Outlook, which don't support Calendar sync. If you are using some 3rd-party tools to sync the calendar and now having some problems, I can provide limited information on my side. I suggest you contact the
    developer of the tool to get more dedicated support.
    Feel free to let me know more details if I misunderstand anything.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

    You can thank the music industry for penalizing everyone who wants to legitimately use music by (attempting) to prevent music theft.

  • CS5 not responding after opening Bridge and Camera Raw

    I have been using bridge, camera raw and cs5 since it was released. I have not any problems until this morning. I am able to open Bridge and Camera Raw, but when trying to open PS CS5, it does not respond?
    Any suggestions?

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • I just synced my iphone contacts to outlook now its not there

    I synced my iphone contacts to outlook then i went into outlook its not there. It also wiped out my contacts in my phone help?!

    Depends on where you back your phone up to...iCloud or iTunes. You can use either to restore your phone. Read here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Next time, make sure you have at least one unique contact entry in Outlook...the entry can be fake, doesn't matter, just make sure Outlook is not empty. This will generate a merge or replace prompt...select merge.

  • Mail disappears in iPhone after being read on Outlook

    Hi all,
    I have an IMAP mail configured on my Macbook Air and all the mails are directed to get to "ON MY COMPUTER". With this I can have the mail only in Outlook for Mac client and the moment mail is read on Outlook, it disappears from the mail client in the iphone
    So any way I can retain the mails on the phone too?
    Thanks in advance
    Sh

    So what do recommend? the IMAP mail box size is quite small. So if my IMAP mails were to remain on the server, it fills up. So the only solution is go BIG on mailbox?

  • Smart playlists disappeared in iPhone after syncing

    Is there a way to make my Smart Playlists reappear in Music?  After recently syncing my iPhone, all of the smart playlists disappeared on the phone itself. The entire library is on the phone as well as playlists I created, but the standard smart playlists no longer appear in the index of playlists.  In iTunes, they still appear in the device's contents.   I just can't seem to get to them through the phone itself.

    I have been having the same probelm. Tonight I right clicked on each playlist and chose the option "Duplicate" I then deleted the original. After doing this with each playlist the new duplicates sync with my iphone just like the old ones used to. Hope that helps.
