Hot to delete email prior to a date

how do you delete prior email to a certain date, can't find a way and this is the most unprofessional feature of the phone

@Allan Samson,
What a condesending answer. I'll verify it works on a blackberry , I've been using it for years ! I'm looking for an answerf or myself and the 30 other blackberry users in my office as well.
The guy is posting a question. You ask for proof !?
Your answer about sums it up "The iPhone's Mail app is far from being a full featured email client"
Also touchdown for andriod, but wait apple won't let anony make an app that compete's with one of theirs.
If you can't answer the question ,keep you comments to your self
thanks

Delete email prior to ex2013 migration

I am migrating to exchange 2013 from ex2007sp3. Prior to moving mailboxes to the ex13 server, I have been tasked with deleting messages from the Exch2007sp3 database older than 90 days.
This is my pshell cmd so far:
Get-Mailbox -Database "private information store" | Export-Mailbox -EndDate “1/1/2015” -ExcludeFolders "\Calendar" -DeleteContent -BadItemLimit 100
I plan to change the Delete Item Retention to 0 days so that the messages are truly gone.
Does anyone have a better suggestion?
Thanks

This is the cmd I am running to delete messages from a specific mail database :
Get-Mailbox -Database "private information store" | Export-Mailbox -ExcludeFolders "\Calendar" -EndDate “1/12/2015” -DeleteContent
However, when I run the cmd it just goes back to the prompt.
Here’s the log entry:
[4/13/2015 9:33:56 AM] [0] Executing Command: 'Get-Mailbox -Database "private information store" | Export-Mailbox -ExcludeFolders "\Calendar" -EndDate “1/12/2015” -DeleteContent'

The mail server is in a separate domain from where the user accounts reside. I am trying to run this from the mail server. The account I am logged in with has full rights on all mailboxes.

When deleting emails by holding down the date

I like to delete a lot of emails at once by holding down on date and then touching trash can.
It will say " delete all prior".
The only problem is it deletes emails I have flagged or filed as well.
How do I save my flagged emails from this type of delete?
I have the new Q10

...by not deleting them with the "delete all prior" command.
That is what the function does.
Hmmm, there should be a way around this, though. Let's see if anyone else has an idea.

I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), but when I try and use my iPad, it is asking me to sign out and delete the account, losing all data. If I do this, will it all still be there on my new ID? Thanks.

I changed my Apple ID (new email address, same account), via the Apple website on my laptop, but when I try log into ITunes on my iPad, it still has the old ID. It is greyed out, so I can't change it. On researching further, it seems I have to sign out of iTunes and sign back in using new address. Ok so far, but when I do this, it asks if I want to delete the account and any data on the cloud. If I do this, and sign in with changed ID, will all the data be there Or will it be lost? Thanks for any advice.

Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

Oicnnot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00. The emails keep multiplying in my inbox

I cannot delete emails that show up in my inbox. The email says this message has no content with a date of 12/31/00

I have this problem too.
The entire email says
((No Sender)
(No Subject)
This message has no content
Two are dated 12/31/69
and one came in today at 8:34pm (This last one has a "2" next to it which may indicate there are two of them?)
There is no trash icon on the screen and there doesn't appear to be ny way to delete them.
How do I delete them?

I have iphone 5c. Having email problem. Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23. When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox. What is going wrong? How do I fix the problem?

Ihave iphone5c. Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox. When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty. However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox. I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return. What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
Deleting the index
I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

DELETE EMAIL BUG

I constantly have Mail freeze when deleting emails. This then results in having to redelete all emails that were deleted prior to the freeze.
Needless to say this is VERY frustrating. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix, is my iPhone discunctional, or are we awaiting a software update to resolve the issue?

Try a hard reset. Hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button down together until the iPhone turns off and boots to an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, let go and it will boot back to the home screen. Test it out again and see if that fixes the issue.
If you haven't yet, update to iPhone software 1.0.1 by connecting the phone to your computer and clicking "Check for Updates" in the iTunes summary page. Choose "Download and Install" and leave the phone connected until its done. Try deleting emails again to see if the issue is fixed.
If that doesn't work, do a Software restore. Connect the phone to your computer and when iTunes opens the Summary page, click on "Restore." This WILL delete all your info, so make sure you sync up everything to the computer first to you can re-sync it after. Let the restore go through (leave your phone connected until its done), then re-sync your data and try again. If that doesn't work, you definitely need to call 1-800-MY-IPHONE (yeah, the "E" is just for fun)
Good luck =)

Deleting emails on Torch 9800

Obviously I am a new user, hence silly question.
How do I delete email messages from my device?
I can of course do this singularly but I mean deleting several emails at any once.
I'd be very grateful for some help. Thanks

Open messages and highlight a date (blue highlight) then press the menu button (blackberry symbol next to the trackpad), then scroll to "delete prior." All prior emails will be deleted.

Hot synch problem - Palm Z22 - stalls on Date book synch....

I have a palm Z22. I've had it for several years. Recently, I downloaded 6.2.
When I hotsync, everything comes up as it should but it freezes on the datebook synch.
Here's what gets done in a nano second:

Hot Synch Exchange
Date Book - it aways stops here....13 green bars, 2 of 12 complete.
Does anyone know how to correct it?
Thanks,

When I hotsync, and the display pops up, I seem to have some double items....
My previous problem (fixed by dbfixit as suggested on this forum) was the hot sync was stalling on the second date book.
I see that when it's hotsyncing, it is checking off one at a time...
Should I delete the duplicates and how do I do that. (they are not listed as duplicates on my hand held that I can see.
All this is hard work for me, so appreciate this forum and all your help. sdm

I delete emails on Centro, but they still take up tons of memory.

I'm running VersaMail 4.0.1.00 on my Sprint Centro, which carries 68.8MB of usable memory.
When I go to Info (Menu + I from the Home screen), it tells me that I have <1MB of memory left, primarily because the Email application takes up 38,936K. (There are actually two Email categories listed - with sizes 16K and 38,936K respectively. They both show Version 4.0.1.00, and as for the number of records, it's "N/A" and 831 respectively.)
I want to get rid of as much of that 38,936K as possible.
When I go in the Email application, I delete every possible email, but even after I empty trash it tells me that there remain 47 messages in Trash (marked with an asterisk, for some reason).
The email is connected to my company's Microsoft Exchange Server. I'd be willing to delete the entire application, but the Email application isn't visible when I go to Delete (Menu + D from the Home screen). In fact, even turning on the Centro now results in the error message "The free data storage space on the device is low. Delete applications or data."
Okay, this is beyond weird and potentially relevant: as I'm typing this very message, the size and records of the aforementioned Email application changed to 29,468K and 674 records, seemingly spontaneously.
I keep thousands of emails on my company's Microsoft Exchange Server, but I religiously delete emails from the Centro Email application, never having more than 10 or so on there at a time, and none of those carrying applications or anything that would take up lots of memory.
Even now, I can't understand why the Email application lists all those records and all that memory being used. If you can tell me how to free up that memory, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

When you are deleting mail, are you also having those messages also deleed from the server? Even if they are in an all mail file and not in your in box, the versa mail still can see them. So, after you delete them, the server is sendin the mail right back to you. You are then stuck in a paradox. I delete, but, I didn't... If you have a seperate file that you can forward them to, a 'new' account. That might help.

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

How to delete email attachments from server

Hi,
I created an a CF template for sending e-mail which includes
attachments. It has been tested on my dev box and is functioning
fine as the attachment upload to a designated directory on the
server. I would like the attachments to be purged once the e-mail
has been forwarded to the recipent.
In Macromedia's ColdFuision 7MX web application construction
book page 913 "Interacting with Email" there is a CFC that will
delete the file when the user ends their session.
I am not sure how to write this to fit the code I am using.
Here is the eMail form

<html>
<head>
<title>Please enter your message</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Send_Email.cfm" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">

Here is the form to send the attachment.

The tutorial only explains how to delete the attachment when
the recipient checks there mail
in the POP server.
Assuming that the sender is in a session would the code be
written to delete the attached file from the directory on
the server one the e-mail is sent.
Can someone explain how to automatically delete email
attachments from a designated directory or provide me with the code
that would handle this after an email is sent with attachment.
Thanks,
Tony

I don't know why your dos code didn't run. It could be
addressing. My limited experience with cfdirectory/cffile/cfexecute
is to type out the complete path at least once.
Good books?
Hard to say, depends on what else you are new at. If you are
new to html, then htmlgoodies.com has good tutorials. So does
webmonkey.com. If you have trouble with sql, I have heard good
things about the SAMS book, Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben
Forta. I learned javascript by buying the book Teach Yourself
Javascript in 24 Hours. The O'Reilly books are also good. I learned
awk with one of those books.
Glad you liked the fish pics. The camera is specified on most
of the pages. If it says Reefmaster, I used an external strobe. If
it says Sony I either used the camera flash only or natural light.
By the way, that is not a Cold Fusion site. It's strictly html and
javascript.

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

Can icloud delete email from non-apple email accounts?

Just wondering if there is any way that icloud would be able to delete emails en masse from a non-apple/me/cloud email account. I seem to have no email prior to May 1 on an IMAP email account I have hosted elsewhere. Using Lion (of course) and the most current version of the Mail app and am referring to incoming email only.
Thanks!
Chris

"External" email accounts (e.g. google, yahoo, etc.) have no connection with iCloud. You set up accounts for these email services in the mail program and can do the usual things with them (view emails, move to folders, delete, etc.) but they are in now way related to iCloud.

My iPhone 5 suddenly started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP accounts

Yesterday, my iPhone 5 started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP email accounts. I use the native Mail app and have three POP emails set up on my phone. The number of messages downloaded across all of them is over 1,000 so far and date back over several months. One of these is a Yahoo account, the others are work email accounts provided by two different hosting companies. I have not changed anything on any of these three accounts at the server/hosting level. I also run an IMAP account on my phone, which has not been affected, so this is obviously a POP-only issue. I started to delete the messages only to discover that older messages were downloaded in their place. There appears to be a cap of 250 messages downloaded at a time, but there's no way to change this in the phone's settings (this used to be a feature, but disappeared some time ago).
I'm on iOS8.3 (upgraded a month ago with no affect on email). I have not changed any of my phone's email settings, so I don't understand why this has happened out of the blue. I have checked the phone's email settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to limit the number of messages downloaded.
Does anyone know:
a. why this has happened, and
b. how I get it to stop?
Thanks!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!
