How do I set up gmail not to download messages on iPhone

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully this is just a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Here is the setup:
1. I have a number of email accounts that I manage on an Google Apps account (e.g. [email protected]; [email protected], etc)
2. I have set up gmail accounts so the key messages I want to read end up from the google apps account in my main @gmail.com.
3. I would like to use my iPhone to send from both my mail @gmail.com as well as my google apps account (e.g. from [email protected] "Uncle Mike for my birthday I'd like a pony" attached a picture of a pony)
I have therefore setup my main @gmail account in iOS mail and my other Google Apps accounts that I want to use (e.g. [email protected]) syncing only mail.
The challenge is that I get repeated emails (because [email protected] forwards to @gmail.com) on my iOS device. I've set up filters in Gmail to mark as read and archive the messages before they are forwarded for the Google Apps accounts, but they still keep on being downloaded.
Any suggestions on how to force iOS Mail app not download them? Or is there a special Gmail side filter I can use?
BR,

Move them to a folder that is stored locally, rather than on the email server.
Reading between the lines, I guess your account uses IMAP, where the design philosophy is to store all messages on the server. Since your client shows what's on the server, when you delete a message, it vanishes both on the server and in the client.
The Local Folders "special" account in Thunderbird is provided for this very purpose, amongst others.
See the last item under "Uses for Local Folders" here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders

    I can no longer view the entire mail messages on my iPhone 4S, only the sender and the subject. The text or images don't download.

  • How do I set up a 2nd Apple id on my iPhone?

    How do I set up a 2nd Apple id on my iPhone?  I have one on the phone but it is not the main one for iTunes and my computer.  It is just a subset of the info on my computer.
    Thanks

    Tap on the Apple ID and scroll down to the bottom to find the sign out button.
    It would also be best to backup all files, then erase all data and settings on the phone, finally set it up as new and create the new Apple ID for the phone.

    How can I set a signature on my text messages?

    I have iphone4, recently changed my phone number.  Prior to the change all of my outgoing sms showed my name and phone number.  Since I changed the number have not been able to show the new number on outgoing texts. So I don't understand why my number showed before but unable to add it now.....?
    I lost a lot of data when I changed the number so I performed a back-up restore, which restored the data I lost.  But now my text messages are showing my old phone number.....!!
    Any idea how I can change so the new number is displayed?
    I use texting a lot more than I do email with my phone.

    how do i set up an "out of office" message on Mail?

    There is a ay to do it in Mail, using rules, but that's not a very good idea. Homemade rules can cause things like infinite mail loops (where two accounts auto-reply to each others until one or both mailboxes fill up and cannot receive any more messages). See what your mail server offers in this regard. Auto-replies on the server are typically far more reliable and less error-prone.

    How do I set up an Archive mailbox on a 3GS iPhone?

    So I went on my email provider, Comcast, and set up an archive file folder. But the archive folder does not show up on my iPhone. So this doesn't help. Maybe I asked the question improperly. What I want is to add a new file or folder to my mail boxes on my 3GS iPhone--nothing to do with archiving. How do I do that?

    This can mean there is some dirt, lint, or foreign material in the iPhone's dock connector port and it doesn't take much, or the dock connector port has damage with the pins or there is some moisture damage.

  • LG Revolution not receiving text messages from iphone user

    I am not receiving text messages from iphone user, sporatically.  The messages are showing as reveived on Verizon website in usage detail, but not being received on my phone.

        This issue needs fixed asap! I have a few suggestions that should help you get this resolved. If they are showing up in the usage details, that means they are hitting the Verizon network, but for some reason they are not showing up on the phone.   I recommend clearing the cache from your messaging/text messaging programs. Go to settings> applications> manage apps> all> Messaging/Text Messaging> Force Stop/Clear Cache/Clear Data. Erase the old text threads that you have saved and retry.
    If that doesn't work, please let us know the following:
    1) Do they come in delayed or not at all?
    2) Do you have any 3rd party messaging apps installed?
    3) Do they have any problems receiving messages from you?
    4) When they're sending messages, are they directly to you, or do you have this problem when the iPhone user sends to a group of people?
    Thanks for the additional info! I'm sure we can find a fix.

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.
