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.

Notes from iPad and iPhone are not being synced to my Mac with iCloud

I have been really hesitant to even use iCloud, but i just started to try to use it yesterday - and my Notes from my iPad and iPhone are not being synced together, and both Notes from my iPhone and iPad are not even being seen to my Mac.
What am i doing wrong with this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Calendar entries made, edited or deleted on my iphone are not pushing to my PC outlook calendar.

For some reason any calendar event or entry that I create, edit or delete on my Iphone 3GS is not pushing on to my PC Outlook calendar. When I check my calendar via the web at Icloud.com the entries I create, edit or delete on my Iphone are all correct.....but for some reason they don't seem to make it on to my Outlook calendar.
On the other hand, when I create, edit or delete an event on my PC Outlook calendar they do get pushed correctly on to my Iphone.....so it seems to only be working one way.
Looking forward to any help you can provide.

Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I was just playing around with my YahooMail account too ...and it's a little different than the normal client/server sorta thing I've been used to ...
I was using my PC to draft a new Yahoo email, then saw it on my iPhone Email, in the Drafts ... edit the PC version, update iPhone, the edit appears.
The iphone doesn't download a copy of your messages, it interfaces directly with the server. If you do anything on either side (PC and/or iPhone) it affects your Yahoo Inbox.

Photos sent from my iphone 4s to email addy's and other phones are not being recieived.

I've tried sending them as different sizes and to various email addy's and phones - they never get received.

It's called iMessage, new in iOS 5.0...these messages are going as iMessages, and as designed, they appear on all of your iOS devices(your Apple ID on your daughter's phone). Either turn iMessage off on your daughter's phone or get her her own Apple ID & wipe her phone & then setup it up again using her own Apple ID. Your daughter having her own Apple ID is recommended if you want to fully take advantage of iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, etc. She can still use your iTunes account.

Messages I read this morning on my iPhone are not.....

on my Mac Mail app. I installed ML last night and this morning I read mail on my iPhone first and when I opened up Mail on my MacBook Pro, those messages I read just an hour ago (and did NOT delete) on my iPhone are not on my Mac. Also, I would like my Mac to be my primary mail tool-by that I mean that if I delete a message on my Mac, it is therefore deleted on my iDevices. That isn't how it is now-if I delete a message on my iPhone it does not show up in Mail. Thanks for any help! Judy

Thanks so much! I went to do as you suggested and image capture didnt reccognize my phone as being plugged in either..... that gae me the heads up theat it was time to shut everything down & restart. when I restarted iphoto recognized my phone & asked if I wanted to import the missing images.
reminder to myself: WHEN IN DOUBT, RESTART!

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

Do do i ensure email messages deleted on iPhone are also deleted on server

i have been using email on iphone4 extensively. unfortunately, messages deleted on iphone are not deleted on the server (same for gmail) and remain in the inbox (undeleted) when i check into macbook. have checked allknown settings. appreciate solution if any...

I know with my POP mail accounts when I delete on my phone it also deletes from the server. Are these POP or IMAP?
When you say "have checked all known settings" do you mean that in Settings-Mail-Account-Advanced you have selected to "delete from server when deleted from iPhone" and also "Remove Deleted Messages in one day"?
Could it be that you delete the messages from your inbox but never empty your deleted messages folder?
Other than these things it may be a setting that you need to do on your individual email servers as this should work on the iPhone.
Hope this helps.

I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone. When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

Read and deleted messages are not being updated on my iphone 4s

I have a new user who is having a synchronization issue with his iPhone. When he reads emails on his desktop, the messages on his iPhone 4s show as being unread. Also, when he delets messages on his desktop email, messages are not being deleted on his iPhone. I have never seen this issue before and do not know what to do. Please help. Thank you!

The end user just started with the company a week ago and he is using Outlook 2010. We never had this issue in the past. Active sync has been enabled on user’s account and he was able to configure the firm's Exchange email profile on his iPhone. Although he is able to receive messages on his mobile device, it does not sync with his desktop email. I asked him to delete the profile on the device and create it again, but he wants to do that as a last option.

My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
Who is your email provider?
They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.
