How do i stop my ipad from loading old emails from my imap account?

i have a problem with my ipad loading old messages instead of new messages from my imap email account.  Anyone know how to fix it?

If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account.  When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email.  That's a POP account.

    You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
    Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
    Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

  • How to stop iCloud from loading old emails?

    iCloud is running amuck syncing thousands of old emails on my computer onto my iPhone!!!!  HELP!!!
    I transitioned to iCloud and although over the years I delete emails off my phone, they remain in my inbox (as an archive of thousands). Now iCloud is intending to load them onto my iPhone, 50 at a time.  Is there a setting where iCloud will leave these alone and stop trying to upload them?

  • Why does my iPad keep loading old emails I have deleted previously from my mail?

    I just got this iPad and I love it. I have a few email accounts and have the cloud set up. I have set 50 messages as my maximum but it keeps bringing in emails from my main email account. It overwhelms my iPad and causes it to slow down and lock up. I get a number 2 next to a lot of emails, they are duplicated on my iPad and iPhone

    Yep, having the same problem as well. Tried all solutions, removed account from iPad, purged online emails. Still cannot delete email from the iPad. This is very frustrating. Its even a MobileMe account.......iOS better be a great update as I will be moving to Android if not.
    Anyone out there know how to fix these issues?

  • How to prevent Apple Mail from downloading old emails from Yahoo (Imap)

    I started using Apple Mail and decided to use it to access my yahoo mail.  Apple mail worked well in setting up my account but the problem is I have more than 10,000 emails in my yahoo account and Apple mail is downloading each and every one of them.  Even if i choose for it not to download attachments, it will still take a long time to download.  Is there a way or Mail to just download emails starting now, or at least within this year only?

    Good question. I have the same issue. Too many old Yahoo emails. My iMac struggles to download the email to the client and it doesn't work - it seems to time out and stop downloading the old mail.

  • How can I stop multiple downloads of the same email from sympatico.ca?

    Sympatico email has been set up with POP enabled and Do What the App says when deleting downloaded messages.
    TBird Account has been set up with server settings Leave Messages On Server unchecked.
    Starting a month or so ago, a second copy of an email, already received in my Inbox, would be received about 5 or 10 minutes after the first. Starting this AM, I received a third copy of the same email.
    Thanks for any help - this is starting to get annoying!

  • How can I synch the iPad to hold all email from each of my five computers ?office home lap balckberry and iPad

    .

    If your email accounts are IMAP (which includes most major email providers like Gmail & Hotmail) then you don't have to sync them as they will automatically sync with all your devices. All you have to do is enter the username and password on your iOS device. You can speak to your ISP to confirm if your particular email accounts are IMAP.

  • How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

    How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id?  My old Apple ID was my old email address.  I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago.  Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.)  it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

    Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id.  I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up.  I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either.  I am getting help.  I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.           
    Thank you all for your help!  I hope we are able to resolve this issue.  Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span.  I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

    What type of email account are you using, POP, IMAP if you are using an IMAP account then you would need to go into your mail settings and change the delete mail after a day, week, month, never. 

  • How do I stop my iPad from blanking out returning to main screen?

    How do I stop my iPad from going out and retiring to the main screen?

    I just posted this same thing in another thread. Try the first tip and then try the reset. If that doesn't work, then close all apps - the last tip. If none of these work for you, a restore of your device may be in order. Hopefully one of these will work.
    Try downloading another app - any free app will do. That seems to reset something and it may work for you. If not, try all of the steps below.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do i stop my ipad from switching from 3G to Edge?

    How do i stop my ipad from switching from 3G to Edge?

    The iPad will use whatever the best service that is available - if you are in an area where 3G coverage is patchy (which may be due to reception or the network bandwidth being used up) then it will step down to Edge, and then possibly down to GPRS.
