How do I keep my iPod from deleting emails on other devices?

My wife and I share the same POP and iCloud account. When I delete email from my iTouch it deletes emails on all of our Macs. How do I keep this from happening?
I have my iPod set to delete on iPod only. Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> my POP account or IMAP> Out going Mail Server, Advanced> Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox> and I have selected the setting: On My iPod.
I've been trying to find a way to change this behaiveour with out any luck. I have some friends with the same problem.
Thanks!

A POP account does not syncronize the account among messages.
Could it be that your are deleting the messages from the server when you get the mail on your iPo
in Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> my POP account or IMAP> Out going Mail Server, Advanced> Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox> set it to nerver remove messages from the server.

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

  • How can I disable my ipod from being controlled by others

    My brother has an iPhone 5 and he keeps restarting my whole iPod from his phone.  Does anyone know how to disable it or something that won't let him do that? And by restarting I mean he restarts it to a whole new iPod.

    He is probably using Find My iPhone app and you are probably on the same icloud account so he can restore it
    the app is here:
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Turn off find my iphone by going into settings>icloud and then toggle find my iphone off

  • How do I stop my iphone from deleting emails from the server and visa versa

    I have the iphone 4, recently my phone started sending email info to the server. Meaning it deletes emails from my hotmail account if I delete them off my phone and visa versa. I know there is a setting under advanced setting, I don't have that button. I showed someone in the apple store and she said it was a software issue and to wipe my phone and back it up from my back up, this didn't help anything, neither did re setting the settings. I don't even have the spot in the settings where I can put in the pop3 information. This is a new thing my phone started doing and I don't understand why I don't have the same setting buttons as everyone else. Any advice? The only other thing I can think is wiping my phone and starting over but I don't want to lose the data in my aps
    I'm on the newest software version, this started happening just before I did that update.

    POP3 settings won't appear if an IMAP service can be found. Basically, you're going to have to set up the account with bogus information so that the phone can't find the server by itself. Then, when it can't, you'll be presented with the advanced settings where you can set it up as POP3 and enter the settings you want to use.
    POP3 is considered pretty much obsolete these days. The whole point of IMAP is to allow you replicate the server based mail store completely so that all information is available across all of your devices. If you don't want things crowding your in-box, but don't want to delete it entirely, why not just set up folders and move things where you want them to be once you read them?

  • How do I keep my toddler from deleting apps and contacts when playing on iphone

    My son has recently become interested in the toddler apps I have on my phone. Unfortunately, he also plays outside these apps... he knows how to use the home button and swipe and has zero concept of what the actions and consequences are of what he is doing. Recently he accidentally deleted a couple of his games and a few of my contacts just by "playing" on the phone. The point of having him use it is to keep him occupied when I have other things I need to get done so I am looking for a way to restrict his access to all but the apps I would like him to use. Is there an app for that?

    @carrie10471 I certainly don't think you need parenting advice - I have the same issue and I just found under Settings, then under General, then under Restrictions, you'll have to set a pass code but then you'll see something for deleting apps - turn that off and you'll notice you can't delete apps anymore. You can easily turn it back on whenever you want. Just remember that pass code. I watch my son when he uses the IPad but it takes like 2 secs to delete an app - so I like this feature. Good luck :-)

  • How do I keep my ipod from playing podcasts on shuffle?

    I have some "songs" that I want to classify solely in the podcast category so that they don't play when my ipod is on shuffle.  When I try to delete them from the "music" folder they are also deleted from Podcasts.   Help!

    right-click on the file and get info. go to the options tab and see if you can change media kind to podcast. on the same tab, checkmark skip when shuffling.

  • How do I keep my ipod from doing this?

    My iPod touch is at its latest firmware, 5.1.1, and it is glitching all the time. These photos happened within a week of each other. Sometimes you have to notice where the status bar is. The simple passcode that I had for all of these was 3278. Sometimes I couldn't type the 7 or 8. The first two screenshots, I just unlocked it, but all the others, I had to restart the iPod.
    Right here my password was "Apple." I typed A, then I realized that I couldn't type P. Somebody told me it is fixed in iOS 6, but my iPod, a 3g, has no more updates. Apple has even told me that the iPod 3g can't support any more updates. I don't believe that. My computer, from 1999, was updated to an update that it really shouldn't work, becuase it is too slow.  I don't like Apple's ways. If you buy a 3rd gen and they come out with a 5th, you should be able to upgrade. Like the AT&T videos. Upgrade when you want, not when you're told. If there is no solution, and my friends iPod I'm buying does this too, 4th gen, then I'm just going to switch to Android or Kindle or whatever. Apple just wouldn't be worth my time. Too confusing. I get an app on my iPad, plug it into iTunes, and it says it isn't autorized. I have my iPad synced with my mom's Apple ID and I used mine to get the app. So yeah. If it does this again, I'm switching to android.

    I would just try restoring it in iTunes on a computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
    You can create a backup in iTunes beforehand if you're concerned about losing any data other than applications and music (which can just be resynced to the iPod).
    If there's something you don't like about Apple software or procedures you can always go to apple.com/feedback in stead of venting on forums where nobody can acutally do anything about it.

  • How do I keep my iPod from Freezing while listening to audiobooks?

    I've been listening to audiobooks from audible.com for years... withing the last few months I've had a problem with some downloaded books only playing a few minutes (3 - 15) when my iPod freezes and I have to reset. If I try to continue the audiobook -- the same thing happens in the same place.  Other audiobooks play fine -- no troubles.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, have you found a reason and/or a fix?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • How do u keep your iPod from heating up

    Why do u get a new iPod but doesn't work the way u want it to work

    How do you want it to work? How is not working the way you want it to work?
    All Computers and batteries generate heat. There is no way to stop that. In a tiny hand held device you notice it more than a computer tower under your desk, but both the computer tower and your iPod are doing the same things, computing, drawing graphics, transferring data, etc.

  • How can I keep old appointments from deleting in my iphone calendar?

    It seems iphone's calendar automatically deletes past appointments.  It won't even let me make an appointment for something that happened in the past.  I need to reference old appointments though so is there some way to make the iphone save old appointments or at least ask me?  It has nothing to do with syncing to my computer as I rarely do that.  This is really annoying.  My old Palm would save everything and it was great since I could go back and see the last time I went to the dentist, etc.  Is there a fix to this?

    Hi Allan
    Thanks for this.  I couldn't believe it when I had a wages query at work and all my carefully recorded shifts had disappeared!
    I don't understand this bit though....
    And what is selected for this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Do I need to do anything in itunes?
    Many thanks

    Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
    IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
    From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
    The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".

  • Keep Mac Mail from Deleting Emails On Server

    I have 2 Yahoo! acc'ts linked to Mac Mail.
    On the first acc't, after all my emails downloaded, I then deleted all the emails in Mac Mail (didn't need them). When I logged back into my acc't in Yahoo! (on browser), I saw that, there too, all my emails had been deleted.
    I need to keep this from happening in my 2nd acc't. How can I delete the emails within Mac Mail, WITHOUT deleting the emails from the server?
    I'm using Mac Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Hi
    You will have to look at a POP3 account that leaves the mail on the server.
    I have not seen a setting in active sync that stop mail from being deleted. If you make a change on your phone it will update the mailbox.
    Mails will be in the deleted items. How are users "accidently" deleting mail when you actually have to press the delete/trash button?

  • Prevent user or users from deleting emails in Outlook or OWA?

    Dear,
    I have a question, I have Exchange 2013 SP1, how I can prevent user/s from deleting emails (specifically sent items) from Outlook or OWA?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    In your case, you can enable litigation hold for these users in your Exchange 2013 server. If you want to place all mailboxes on hold, you can use the following cmdlet:
    Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {RecipientTypeDetails -eq "UserMailbox"} | Set-Mailbox -LitigationHoldEnabled $true -LitigationHoldDuration 2555
    For your reference:
