How can I delete email on my Comcast server through Mail?

I stumbled across a window in Mail yesterday where I could delete mail right off Comcast.net server through my Mac Mail.
Could someone help me find this again??
Thanks,
Lee

Hey Leroy,
I saw that but I don't want to pull them off the server into my Mac. I want to leave them on the server but still be able to go in through Mac Mail and delete them from my Comcast server. This saves me having to go to Comcast.net and delete them.
I used it yesterday...Accidentally stumbling across that function. This is my second day on a Mac so please be patient.

How can i delete emails in icloud

I just purchased the new iphone 5. I use gmail and when I open up my gmail....there are over 2,000 messages in my inbox. These are messages
that had been deleted from my other phone and on my main computer. I was told to empty my folders in Gmail and I did. Then I was told to
delete gmail from the phone and then put it in again...i did that and the messages are back again. Is there some way I can get them off without
having to delete each and every one?

Is the gmail account a POP account or an IMAP account? If POP, then you must have the other devices set to NOT delete emails from the server when deleting them from a device that accesses the gmail account.

For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps... I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
Thank you for your help!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

How can I delete emails that only appear when I do a spotlight search?

I have a number of emails that are only locatable through a spotlight search which I am unable to delete. They all appear to be unread, although they were read. The only options I have when I bring them up are to "Cancel" or "Send". Choosing "Cancel" brings me to whichever email account I was most recently using. Hitting "Send" does, indeed, send them, but makes them no easier to delete.

The only way to delete them from the Spotlight cache is to totally restore your iPad as new.
Those emails will not show up in the mail app if you tap on then in the spotlight search. They have been removed from the device and will not reopen in the mail app.

Can't delete email messages from some folders in Mail

I CAN delete email messages from header Folder "MAILBOXES" (drafts, sent, trash); however, there's another folder header below called "ON MY MAC", where I save various emails by dragging them to a subfolder, and when I try to delete these, I get this message:
"The message '(subject of email)' could not be moved to the mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' The destination mailbox 'Deleted Messages --- On My Mac' does not allow messages to be moved to it."
The only way to delete from this folder is to hold Control, select from the dropdown Move to, then Trash, and then one of three sub-trash folders (the one that has my email address) -- this is a pain to do.
Mail is just not working properly any more (I just added 2 other posts - one about crashing, another about all my Fonts missing)
thank you in advance!

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

Deleting emails from a yahoo account through Mail

I am new to the Apple and I am able to get my emails from my yahoo account, but I believe that there is a way to delete the messages from my yahoo account through MAIL. Can I set Mail up automatically to delete these messages from my Yahoo account? Am I correct and if so, how is this done?
Otherwise, it does not seem very useful to access my yahoo account through Mail because I will have to go back to my yahoo account and clean through them anyway.
Thanks
John

Presumably you have a paid-for Yahoo account which permits POP* access (the free account doesn't). If you have this set up in Mail, go to Mail Preferences>Accounts>the Yahoo account: click 'Advanced' and tick 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message' (though actually this is the default so it ought already to be ticked): set the pop-up menu below this to 'Right away'.
*i.e. through Mail

How can I delete emails in bulk iPhone 5 iOS8

I have tried the: Edit: Check first email: Hold the move button while unchecking the first email: Remove finger and move to trash.
When I do and go to trash to delete them permanently, they are not there, they go right back to my inbox. I have deleted everything from the server already. Does anyone know how to delete these without doing them one at a time? I only have about 500 emails, but it is still time consuming. Thanks in advance.

There's no "Delete All" option for an Inbox. Depending on the email provider, you may have it for Trash and Junk boxes.

On 4S how can I delete emails more than one at a time in my Inbox

Just got the iPhone 4S (first ever iPhone for me). When I have emails in my Inbox and I want to delete them is there a way to delete more than one at a time? I know when I go to the Trash it lets me "delete all". I get quite a bit of emails and it's a huge waste of time to only be able to delete one at a time in the Inbox.

I'm trying to find a way of clicking one box/area and it deleting all the emails in the Inbox.
It can't be done from the iPhone. You could use Safari, access your webmail and delete from there, if that's easier.
