How do I get deleted email on iPhone to BE deleted on iMac?

I WANT deleted email on iPhone to BE deleted on iMac...successful with GMail, no luck with Yahoo or ATT(Yahoo). Thanks

Depending on the type of email, the answer is different.  I'll answer for regular Yahoo Mail, as I have it set up on mine.  On your computer, go to mail.yahoo.com and sign in.  Then on your iphone, go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Click the account. 
At the top of the next screen click the account name, and then click "Advanced" at the bottom of the next screen.  Under mailbox behaviors, the folder names in blue should match the names of the corresponding folder on Yahoo, EXACTLY.  So if on yahoo, the folder is called Trash and on your phone the "Deleted Mailbox" doesn't say "Trash", it's not going to sync properly.  It will just create a new folder on yahoo's server with whatever name it's set to be.
ALSO, make sure the mail on your imac is set up as IMAP and not POP.

  • Started getting repeat copies of deleted emails on iPhone and iPad, but not iMac...any solutions?

    I've started getting repeat copies of deleted emails, every time I turn on my iPhone or iPad...but not my Mac...any solutions?
    Thanks

    The inkjet spam email is the same one that is causing my iPad's issue! I'm having the exact same problem as you're having --touching the email or having the email at the top of the screen freezes/shuts down ipad. I've been to two Apple stores and no one seems to know what's going on, plus, they claim they haven't heard of this problem i suggested they go to the Apple Commnity to get a feel for what's going on.
    No, the issue has never been resolved!!

  • How do I get sent emails from iPhone to appear in sent emails on Mac Mail?

    Just depends on what type of mail protocol you are using. Works just fine for IMAP or Exchange.

  • TS4002 icloud is not deleting emails from iphone, ipad,when deleted on imac

    i have enabled icloud on my ipad, icloud, and imac.
    when i delete an email on one device, it reamins on the other two and has to be deleted manually.
    all devices have the latest updates, and i have version 10.8.2 loaded on my imac, and version 6 on my ipad and ipad.

    If you delete an item off of one of your devices, do you see it being deleted at icloud.com?
    All devices are using the same apple id?  All devices have the proper items checked off in their respective preferences?

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

    I have recently got an iPhone 5.  I also use Mail on my iMac computer.  How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same?  (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too?  I need identical email lists on both.  Thank you, in anticipation!

    If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work.  POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server.  It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device).  The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
    Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service.  IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device.  Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
    Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP.  If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

    Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

  • HT1727 I bought a ring tone from itunes and got a email confirm, but it isn't on my iphone.  how do I get it to my iphone...or where do i find it?

    I purchased a ring tone from itunes (first time) on my iphone and got a confirm email but it isn't on my iphone..how do i get it to my iphone or where do i find it?

    If you bought it on your phone then it should have downloaded onto that. If you go into Settings > Sounds can you set it as an alert or your ringtone, or if you go into the Contacts app and select one of your contacts, if you tap the Edit button on their details can you set it as the sound for them ?
    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, so if it is on your phone you may want to connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so as to copy it over to the Tones of your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy of it.

    Is this a company email account?  If so you may need to talk their technical support, as there may be additional layers of security which are preventing a connection.

  • How do I get my emails from my company run BES to run on my iphone/ipad?

    How do I get my emails from my company run BES to run on my iphone/ipad?

    Beau, BES is an intermediate server that stands between Exchange and Blackberry devices.  It takes mail from Exchange and delivers it.  Simply because your organization uses a BES server doesn't of necessity mean that they have disabled Exchange Active Sync.  Some organizations will require that corporate devices be Blackberries  because of  perceived  security advantages.  If you have a personal device, your organization may not allow personal devices to connect to your mail system, or they may only allow personal Blackberry devices to connect. Does your organization allow ANY devices(either business owned or personally owned), other than Blackberries to receive enterprise messages contacts, calendar and tasks?
