How do I fix my IMAP email bug?

I just tried to switch my email accounts from POP to IMAP. I created new IMAP accounts and then deactivated the POP accounts (this may have been the wrong order to do this in). Mail is now confused and deleting all of my email. If I send an email to the IMAP account, it will appear there, but as soon as I select it, it disappears. It also disappears if I refresh it with Get Mail. I checked the server with webmail and the emails are getting deleted there as well. Based on what I have seen elsewhere, I believe this may be a problem with the UID getting assigned to each message getting confused due to the pre-existing POP account. Does anyone know how to get Mail to simply forget these accounts and let me start from scratch? I have tried deleting all the accounts and restarting Mail, but I continue to see the problem. I am getting the mail at multiple computers, which is why I'm switching to IMAP. Do I have to reset the accounts on all these machines? Thanks.

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

    How do I set up imap email account on iPad air 2

    You do not need to specify the type of account.  If its IMAP, when you add the account it will detect that automatically.
    Alternatively, you can enter a fake email address and password when adding the account, and wait for the process to fail, you should then get an option at the top to select between IMAP and POP3
    You can then change the details of the account to the correct ones.

  • How do I set up IMAP email to sync email between iPhone, Laptop and desktop

    Applestore "Genius" couldn't answer and Applecare gave me wrong directions. I'm really struggling because I know it can be done!

    hey,
    thanks a lot for the advice. but what do you mean by SYNC? how does Mac mail on my laptop sync to my iPhone? and/or how do i tell my iPhone to sync to my Mac mail on my laptop. i have tried setting up my mac mail on my laptop first, then iPhone. hasnt worked. tried it the other way around (setting up my iPhone manually) and that created new folders on my webmail interface/server.
    then there are the "keep a copy" functions under mailbox behavior — should i "keep a copy on the server"s or not?
    lastly, when i set up IMAP on my Mac mail on my laptop, it keeps a set of subfolders "Deleted Messages" "Sent Messages" and "Trash" underneath an inbox server corresponding to my IMAP email. these folders then ALL show up on my iPhone, which cant send receive or sync any email.
    if i just delete everything email off of each device and start from scratch, can you send me specific setup steps? (that's assuming my desktop (G4) and laptop share identical settings in Mac Mail)

  • How do I setup my IMAP email?

    Hi all,
    I'm very new to blackberrys and it seems I've fallen at the first hurdle 
    I'm trying to setup my IMAP email address on the blackberry and it all seems to go through fine (well I get a message through saying 'Congratulations, you have successfully setup your email....' etc and you will be able to recieve new messages within 20mins.
    I've been waiting far longer than that and not only am I not recieving any new emails but I'm seeing none of my old emails either or folder I've created etc!
    What am I doing wrong?

    As additional info,
    The Blackberry is from Vodaphone and it's a Curve 8310.
    To setup the email I followed the wizard and (on my blackberry) went to what seemed to me to be a web page and setup the email through there. I went into edit after I setup the address and verified that I'm using IMAP and not pop.
    A few seconds after I clicked finish I recieved the message saying it would be setup in about 20mins.
    It's still not working and I'm pulling my hair out.

    That is correct. That is Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. Only the person who registered the old Apple ID and has the password can unlock it.

  • IMAP email bug - help required to resolve

    Hi...
    I am trying to set up IMAP on my new HP Touchpad.  The problem is, my touchpad won't download any emails.
    After creating an account, the touchpad is able to recognise the folder structure of my email account, and I can send messages. However, my inbox and all other folders appear empty. These folders are definitely populated with thousands of emails, and I have no problem accessing them with IMAP on my Ipod Touch or through my computer.  The touchpad must be successfully linked in to both the IMAP and SMTP servers (since I get my folder structure, and can send messages). However, no matter how many times I try to refresh the inbox, the touchpad won't download a single email.
    I have tried reinstalling the accounts and a complete reset of the ipad but no joy. I get no error messages of any kind - just empty folders.
    I have created a log file after recreating the problem. Let me know if this is useful.
    Help please!

    Hi...
    Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately this hasn't resolved the issue.
    Default folders were already assigned for my account. I tried assigning different ones, or unassigning but this didn't make any difference.
    I'm pretty sure my email provider doesn't require a root folder. There's no mention of it in their help topics, and I've never assigned one in the past when I set up email on my Ipod Touch.  This is what they say about setting up IMAP
    IMAP Settings
    =========
    Incoming Mail Server: imap.mailanyone.net
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mailanyone.net
    Incoming (IMAP) Port: 143
    Outgoing (SMTP) Port: 25
    "SMTP requires authentication" should be ticked.
    Optional Security settings
    ================
    "Use Secure Connections": can be ticked or unticked and will still work.
    "Use Secure Authentication": tick if secure connection is set to "never" and untick if secure connection is set to "SSL" 
    I feel like this must be a bug with the way the email app is trying to communicate with their IMAP server, but I really need to iron it out!
    Thanks again
    Harry

  • How can I fix Lion system font bugs?

    I've recently updated to Snow Leopard to do an uptade to Lion. Already, once the Snow was installed the system font was altered to the one in the image at the botom. I thought installing Lion would do the trick and it would fix the bug, but it didn't. It's been impossible to find articles with the same topic.
    I went to Genius and all the could tell me was to erase all my machine and start all over again. Yet, I want to get another input before.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Edit the source doucment, or install the exact font that you are missing.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

  • How do I fix the bug in my email since installing ios7?

    Ever since I downloaded ios7, every time I delete the first 6-7 emails, it is replaced by an email that says No Sender dated 12-31-1969. This cannot be deleted, but eventually goes away when I close the APP. The APP also shows that I have 150 emails, but when I open it, the inbox might show 50. How can I fix this bug.

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
    If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
    Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

  • TS3988 Suddenly my email folder is all different.  This IMAP stuff has shown up as folders, and my old folders are subfolders.  How can I fix this?

    Suddenly my email folder is all different.  This IMAP stuff has shown up as folders, and my old folders are subfolders.  How can I fix this?
    Suddenly I don't have my own trash, but an IMAP trash folder.  I have this new IMAP icon on the left of my mail folder.  What's going on?

    Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

    Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

    Another autocorrect bug:
    I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
    I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
    Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

    once you finalize the addressing the list disappears, so how can is affect the subject . For that matter is disappears when it looses focus.
    I have heard of a bug that selects the name that is highlighted when the mouse leaves the selection box if no address is selected. Perhaps that is your issue. Until the issue is fixed I suggest you use tab to leave the address box
