How can I make my email POP account delete emails?

I use a POP email account. Every time I refresh my email, it brings back all the emails I just deleted.  very frustrating
I set the Advanced settings to Remove...After one day, UseSSL...OFF, Delete from server...When removed from Inbox, Server Port...110,S/MIME...OFF.
Why there is no Remove...Immediately is beyond me.
When I delete emails I want to delete them totally.  Email is one of the main reasons I got an iPad.  Constantly downloading the same emails you deleted extremely limits the usefulness of the iPad2.
Is there a fix?
Why doesn't the iPad provide the same functionality for POP accounts as it does for IMAP accounts?

When I am in mail, I now click back through the navigation boxes on the top left of the screen.  If I am in an email there is a block at the top left of the screen titled "All Inboxes" (43).  The number changes.  click "All Inboxes"  The email list for "All Inboxes" slides in from the left.  Click the navigation arrow titled "Mailboxes" on the top left of the email list.  The "Mailboxes" list slides in to replace "All Inboxes".  The list shows "Inboxes" and "Accounts".  I click the account where I want to delete messages.  I click the "Trash" basket.  The "Trash" bin slides onto the screen.  I click the "Edit" block in the upper right corner.  I select the red "Delete All" in the lower left.  This is a little bit of work.  It currently prevents the emails from constantly coming back to my inboxes.
My ISP mail provider also appeared to update their system.  I checked their website for directions on using an iPad.  Their suggestions helped.

    I have to reinstall Mail as it's not working well. How can I make a back up of my emails so as not to lose them all?

    Thank you for your time Woody. Recently the Mac seems to freeze a lot, seemingly due to a problem with the airport, especially if the computer is inactive for anything more than a few minutes. Then yesterday I suddenly couldn't send or receive messages so I got in touch with my server and they reconfigured the mail account. I can now receive messages but can't send them, always getting a timed out message when I try to send an email. I phoned the server again and they said it must be a problem with Mail as we tried sending a message online from the server's webpage and it worked fine, so they suggested I reinstall Mail. So hence my original question. Sorry for the rambling! I'm not very computer minded.

  • I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    Obvious question: If you want to have access to the same folders andapplications, why have two accounts? The point of different accounts is that you don't have access to the other person's data.
    Any application in the HD/Applications folder is available in all accounts.
    Sharing data between accounts depends on the material being shared. So, if you can provide more details we maybe able to help you better.

    You'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the iPhoto forum:

    You'll need to tell people what version of iPhoto you have so they can give you correct advice.

  • Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
    Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
    If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

  • How can i make my e-mail account private on my wife's ipad

    How can I make my .mac account and my wife's gmail account private for each of us on the IPad?

    You can't - the iPad is essentially a single-user device. You could try providing feedback here to see if it makes it into a future iOS release http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html - you aren't the first person to enquire about this, and it's possibe that the more people who request it the more likely it is to appear.

  • How can I make a migration copy of my email addresses for use in another program.

    It is necessary to make a migration copy of all our email addresses for transfer to windows express.
    Our office overseas can not use Thunderbird & needs all our email addresses stored in Thunderbird copied for migration into their windows express program. How can this be achieved.?
    I think we may also need to transfer email copies too, can this be done.?
    If so, how.?
    Regards Kym

    Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
    So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
    Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
    What formats can this mail software import?
    Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
    you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option

  • How can I make a Nokia Messeging account with a p...

    I've been stuck for over 2 hours trying to get my e72 to setup messgeging but when I go through the wizard and enter in my email adress Gmail and Yahoo after password I get put back to the setup process, and I tried adding a pop it took it but then it wouldn't work.
    I tried to log into email.nokia.com/account/home.action  but non of my email address passwords worked.  I then created an ovi mail account verified it all and that won't work on email.nokia.com/account/home.action I have also tried the pop address that went in bust doesn't send a receive and still no go. How can I create a nokia messeging acount online without the PHONE? then link it to my phone and addresses.
    This should be a 4 step process and it's taking a long time and still no go.
    Does any one know how to get past this area?
    I am forcced to return this Brand New 272 if I can't get this messeging working ASAP.
    You would expect that an E-Series phone made to E-mail would woudl have a flawless E-mail setup process, this is a HUGE strike against Nokia if this their competition has a such a superior interface and support process. 
    Thanks

    You could, or if you want to keep the current account you could go into your account settings and change the default email address to something else, then you will be free to use the email you want for another account. It's up to you.

  • How can i make a mobile me account ?

    how can i update my os x 10.6.8 to the latest and newest os x ?

    Hello Besho Hussain,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    MobileMe has moved to iCloud so you cannot make a MobileMe account anymore. You can however make an iCloud account.

  • How can I make a new admin account without the password or cd?

    I got this Mac 5 off ebay, and it works fine.. but I can't download Silverlight, or update itunes.
    I've the reboot, terminal thing, but either I'm stupid and not doing it right, or it doesn't work.
    I can't make a new user, or change the password, and PLEASE help.

    We need a better description of what you bought. "Mac 5" doesn't ring a bell with me and I've been her a long time. Do you mean "iMac G5?"
    If so, the latest versions of SilverLight require a Mac with an Intel processor--the G5 iMac is not an Intel-based computer so it will not install.
    If it's a really a G5, neither can it run OS10.6 as shown in your equipment line. 10.5.8 is as high as it can go.
    I can't make a new user, or change the password,
    Call the seller and get the gray system install/restore disks that originally shipped with that computer, They are as much a part of the computer and the hard drive, and needed for resetting the password. I consider any used Mac sold without tose disk to be missing a part and therefore worth much less money.
    So---right now we're fighting conflicting info. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and post what is says about the processor and the OS version. If the processor description includes the word "Intel," you have a much newer Mac than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers and should repost in the forumfor newer iMacs here:

  • How can i make my mobile me account email my primary email?

    I have an apple id and a mobile me account. I want all of my apple mail such as purchase receipts from the itunes store to be sent to my mobile me account address instead of the primary email adress for my apple i.d. Ever time i go into account setting and try to switch it, the site tells me it is already hooked up, yet the emails are still sent to the wrong address. Does anyone know how to fix my problem?

    Mobile Me closed on June 30th 2012, did you migrate to iCloud before that date?
