How do i delete email attachements on first gen iphone

Hello
Can someone here tell me how i can delete an attachement within an email message yet still keep the email?
I am using the apple email program connected to an exchange server.
I am also using an old first generation apple iphone with its final OS 3.1.3  ( i cannot put OS 4 on it)
All the answers i find to this question in google pertain to OS4 and the newer iphones.
Most the answers i have seen say that there is some "remove attachement", or "remove all attachments" button, which i dont see anywhere in my phone.
All my email message menu has is a refresh icon, mail folders icon, delete icon, reply icon, and create new message icon.
None of these icons have any remove attachment capabilities.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm surprised nobody has answered this yet.

    how do I delete email from my iPad and iPhone without deleting it on my laptop. I'm trying to free up space.

    It would depend on the type of mail account you are using. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account deleting mail from one client is going to sync to the other clients. You cannot remove from one device and not the others. POP mail however, does allow one to delete mail from one client and it remain on the other clients. Because POP mail is downloaded to the individual clients, whereas mail in IMAP and Exchange resides on the server, and is just viewed on the individual machines.

  • How can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?

    Hi all, how can I delete an attachment from a received email but save the message?*

    Over the years this issue crops up again and again. Here are the cases I know about:
    Case 1 - it simply doesn't work
    I have a message in my inbox with a jpeg of about 300Mb. Select message, choose option "remove attachment" which is not greyed out, and it does not work.
    Case 2 - it works if you save the message first
    I move the message from the inbox to a mail box. Open the mailbox (select), select the message, choose option "remove attachment", result: the attachment is removed, a small text file is added and an error appears in the message "missing plug-in". The message size is reduced from 300Mb to a few bytes.
    Case 3 - the option "remove attachment" is greyed out.
    I've googled this at least 10 times and read all the advice about editing various files from the library and all the other hacks. The simple truth here is that the user should not be inconvenienced by such inappropriate behaviour. We're not used to this from Apple any more, not since OS X. Even Windows does this stuff painlessly. In fact this kind of function is something that Outlook and Exchange do incredibly well. If they didn't the corporate world would have ground to a halt.
    My point: the remove attachment option should work all the time and should be redesigned. Right-click + save as + delete in the message would be a hundred times easier.

  • How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

    How do I delete emails? When I try to delete a message comes up saying unable to move to trash.

    There are a few things that you could try. First try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And if the above don't work then try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • How do I delete email messages so that they stop "bouncing" back and forth between my devices?

    How do I delete email messages so that they stop "bouncing" back and forth between my Macbook, ipad, and iphone?

    Hi ST,
    The first screen shot is the left (main) screen after I moved CS6 to the right screen (second screen shot). As you can see the CS6 panels are in front of MS Word. If I click in the Word document they go behind Word. If I switch over to on the right screen the panels reappear but in front of Word again. So I either have to switch back and forth between the two screens if I want to work in CS6 or manually movee the panels over to the Right Screen. It is rather awkward to have to do that. Make sense?

  • How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac

    How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?

    To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
    Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
    If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
    First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
    Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

  • How do I delete emails without having to open them please? I have a Mac Air. Using my previous PC I could delete emails without opening but I don't seem to be getting this option on the Mac. Thanks.

    I am new to using a Mac. How do I delete emails without opening them? Using my old PC it was possible to delete suspect emails prior to opening them, however I don't seem to be given this option. If I click on a message it opens straight away and I am worried about opening emails when I don't know where they are from. Thanks

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
