How can I stop my iPhone 5 deleting e-mails from the server?

I know this question has been asked before, and has been answered in respect of iPhone 4 models, but I don't seem to be able to find any answers for this problem with the iPhone 5.
When I delete an e-mail from my iPhone, it means I can't access it from my laptop. It never appears on my laptop because it has been deleted altogether. That's not what I want! It means I have to keep e-mails I would otherwise delete from my iPhone simply because I want to read and/or retain them on my laptop.
I only want to keep e-mails on my iPhone that I want on my iPhone and want to delete the rest, not altogether, but just from my iPhone. I often want to deal with an e-mail on my laptop even if I have deleted it from my iPhone. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for any help!

That behavior is a function of the type of email service you are using which in your case must be IMAP. There is no way of changing that behavior on the iPhone. Perhaps you should investigate switching to a POP-type email service.
There would be no difference between the iPone 4 and iPhone 5 in this respect.

  • How do I stop my iphone received e-mails from cutting short in Outlook?

    I have set up my my Iphone Mail Account using gmail/googlemail.
    I often look at my e-mails for the first time using my Iphone but save them in Outlook 2003.
    I have found, however, that Outlook is now not downloading the WHOLE of the e-mail, only the part that my Iphone automatically downloaded at first instance. I also now get within my "Outlook version" the "Begin forwarded message" which comes from Iphone.
    How do I ensure that Outlook downloads the whole of my message and not just part of it?

    You can first export your contacts in your Android phone to your desktop or to a storage device. After this, please open your Gmail account followed by settings and then click on import button there. Then choose the saved contact file that you saved in the previous step.
    The next step is to iPhone. In this device, tap on Settings option and then click Add account and then click on Microsoft Exchange in there. Just feed in the required information in the respective fields such as your email ID, password, server name. Now just go through the rest of the process which is very easy to transfer contacts from Android device to iPhone.
    Best of Luck!!

  • I can't access my mail from the server!!!

    I am having trouble retrieving mail....I click on "Get Mail" and nothing happens. When I select the inbox and Get Info, it shows that there are a number of new emails on the server, yet my Mail program does not want to retrieve them. I checked to see if my account was enabled (under Preferences) and it is....I don't understand what the problem is...this is happening in a networked office of 10 other macs, and only one other person is having this exact same problem. very weird. internet works fine.
    any suggestions? I'm about to download a new mail program like entourage if this keeps up.
    thanks,

    POP account.
    We own Entourage already, so that isn't a problem.
    Right now we're using www.mail2web.com as a temporary solution, but that isn't really practical for a professional architecture firm where email records are essential to our business.
    I would love to keep using Mail, I really have no idea how to fix this problem. I don't know why it is only happening to 2 of our 10 computers, there is no difference in the setup of any of them, and this started mid-morning, so I know that the users did nothing to the settings. It just stopped wanting to pick up mail from the server.
    File size does not seem to matter, because one of the computer's mailboxes has about 10,000 emails saved, and the other has about 20, and they are showing the exact same behaviour. It is really strange!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

    As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot.  You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services.  The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
    P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

    hi when i click on mozilla firefox it keeps coming up saying restore session why is this every time i go on firefox how can i stop this and delete it all together

    When you quit firefox with tabs and windows open it "remembers".  When you start Firefox it tries to restore the tabs and windows you had open.
    You may also want to check the preferences for Firefox:

    how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and  a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • How can I stop other people copying my images from my web site.

    How can I stop other people copying my images from my web
    site.
    I use dreamweaver CS3 for the mac

    both are a waste of time. Fornication with a leaky condom.
    Pointless and not
    worth the effort. Or worse!
    the obfuscation JavaScript will get the site to not be
    listed in any search
    engines because they can't "see" the page or any links on it.
    You would be
    "protecting" the images but no one would find them.
    And all of those obfuscation JS things can be reverse
    engineered. In most
    cases- it's not worth it to prove it can be broken other than
    to prove it
    can be done. The images are nothing special in almost any
    site using one of
    those $29.95 applications.
    Have you done the basics? Turned off directory browsing or
    put a default
    index page in every folder? A few years ago i ran across a
    site with one of
    those block right click scripts on it. Dumb curiosity- opened
    a picture, and
    looked around the directory. All open directories. A block
    right click
    script and every folder on the site was open.
    /photos/private/girlfriend/hottub
    Nuff said. The blocking script made me curious enough to poke
    around the
    directories.

  • How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
    If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    WTH.
