How do I set up Mail to remove deleted mail from Brighthouse server?

My Brighthouse/Time Warner Mail says I am at 100% capacity and I need to go to the roadrunner site and manually delete items from the server. I used to have a PC and there was a way to set up outlook so that when I deleted an email, it would be taken off the server.
How do I set this up in Mail?  (I said safari but meant mail earlier)

Hi there jhoche1,
It sounds like you are looking for the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" setting. This setting can be found at Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • No way to remove deleted messages from POP server?

    I've checked around, and this seems to be like a MAJOR shortcoming of Mail.
    I have Mail set to leave mail on the server for one day. This way, if I boot on my Windows partition or check webmail, my recent messages are still there.
    I primarily use my Mac for checking mail. I have many rules to sort my incoming (good) mail based on clients. I also get a lot of spam and unwanted mail, which mostly winds up in my junk email folder. So I delete it immediately.
    My problem is that when I check the mail from other sources, such as webmail, I have to deal with the SAME junk messages all over again.
    When I used to use Entourage and other clients, there was a preference to remove messages from server when they are trashed on the local mac. Mail does not seem to have this handy feature.
    There is an option to delete mail moved from the inbox, but due to my sorting rules most of my good mail is removed from the inbox (and into client-specific folders). Also, some mail is move into junk incorrectly, and therefore moved back to my inbox by me. So this option will not work for me.
    This is making it hard to use mail as part of a multi-machine/platform workflow. I like it otherwise, but it seems pretty lacking in this respect, and I am disappointed with it.
    Any ideas?

    What you're asking for isn't possible, not even with Entourage. You already set Mail to keep your messages for one day on the server after you retrieve them. But then you say you want it to delete them when you trash them on your Mac. Unless you are connected to your webmail server, how would you expect the server to magically discover that you've trashed something? Not even Entourage can do that; you had to have been connected to a mail server at all times in order for Entourage or any other mail client to do what you claim.
    If you don't want to deal with seeing the same messages again, then you need to set Mail to delete the messages from the server as soon as it retrieves them.

  • How can I set my Iphone 4s to delete hotmail from phone but NOT server at home?

    I can't seem to figure out how to set phone so that I can delete messages (hotmail) from phone but have them remain on server (home computer)?  I've had to recently delete and then re set my hotmail account and when I did this, I seem to have lost the ability to delete from phone and save on home computer.  thanks

    You're using an IMAP account.  Not sure if you can set up hotmail as a POP account.

  • How do I set up my e-mail so it doesn't delete it from my server when I delete it on my iPad

    When on my iPad and I read my  e-mail and then delete it, it also deletes it on my AT&T server.  How do I set it up so that it leaves it on the server.
    I read my e-mail from several different devices and do not want it deleted from the server.

    Then AT&T email must be IMAP email and if it is, anything that you do on one device syncs across all devices with IMAP. If you delete the message on your iPad, that will delete it from the server, your computer, your iPhone or any smartphone that you have .... It deletes it from all devices. If you read an email on one device, it will appear as being read on all devices. If you move the email to a Saved folder on one device, that moves it to the Saved folder on all devices.
    There is nothing that you can do about that. It is the way that IMAP email works.

  • How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?

    How can I set up a rule to delete all messages older than 6 months left in Apple Mail's main inbox?
    I have created other rules to move some of my daily messages into specific folders and I don't wish to auto-delete those.
    Just the general stuff that keeps piling up in my me.com main email box.  Mail such as FB announcements and other low priority stuff I want to look at before deleting but don't want to keep longer than a week or month.
    TIA
    thokitts

    Thanks, but I am looking for a more automated solution than hand marking emails as junk. I might as well move them to the trash myself.
    Again, these are emails I want to receive and quickly read, but not keep longer than a week or month or so. By setting a rule to toss any older than 30 days back then my Mail program (and thus my hard drive) won't be wasting so much space. For example, currently I have over 6000 read messages, with their attachments, in my main email box. I'd rather not have to physically attend to sorting the one I don't want out.
    The one I do keep for other reasons get moved into other folders.
    It seems this should be possible.

    I just bought an Ipad 2 with Verizon.  I cannot receive mail through the Ipad, only through Verizon.net.  How can I set it up to get my mail?

    No. You made it sound like you were not able to do it and that is what I was asking, look here for help. This shows you the steps for Verizon email on the iPad.

    If you set up like this it should be fine. Then all you have to do is launch the mail app in order to send and receive email.

    How do I set up my airport extreme to access from my work windows based pc?

    To mount the AirPort Disk in Windows 7 or Vista:
    Open the Network browser by double-clicking Network on the Windows Desktop.
    The AirPort Extreme base station name should appear in the browswer.
    Double-click the name and you should get a login prompt.
    Now depending on how you set up disk access:
    In the Name field, either enter the user account name or for base station/disk access, leave this field blank.
    In the Password field, enter the base station, disk, or user account password.
    Select the volume(s) you want to mount, and then, click OK.

  • How do I set a variable on the main timeline from within a symbol?

    Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
    I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
    Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
    Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate. We don't need help with most of the basic concepts, but we may still have some pretty basic questions about how to accomplish some things in Animate because our Flash knowledge is getting in the way.

    Hi Bill,
    There are plenty of threads on here about scope, but here's one way to create a global variable:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalVar = 1;
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can check/set that var like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalVar = 2;
    And here's one way to create a global function:
    // code on Stage.compositionReady
    sym.myGlobalFunction = function(){
              console.log('myGlobalFunction');
    Then, anywhere in your project, you can call that function like so:
    sym.getComposition().getStage().myGlobalFunction();
