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 to prevent iPhone 4 with iOS 5 from deleting email from the MSN server

when I was running iOS 4 I could sent my iPhone to never delete emails from the server but I just noticed that after the update iOS 5 when I delete an emial from my iPhone it shows up as deleted in my Outlook on my laptop. I looked and was not able to find a setting to prevent my iPhone from deleting emails fromt the server.
Am I missing something?

Thank you for responding! The music I no longer want, I removed. This is why it's confusing me so much. The music I've deleted from both my iPhone and my computer is STILL showing up in my Music on iTunes, under my iPhone in devices. Does that make sense? I'm not particularly down with the techie lingo. Haha.

Iphone 4s deleting emails from POP server

Hi,
Does anyone know how i can stop my iphone 4s deleting my emails from the HOTMAIL server when i delete them off the phone?
Thanks

Yes, they have changed the settings in iOS5

My POP account still has this option, but it's not a hotmail account. Maybe you should set up the IMAP version for hotmail accounts.

How do I set up Apple Mail with Yahoo (IMAP) so I can delete mail on my iphone but leave it on the server and iMac.

I am trying to maintain my inbox on my imac while not carrying around all my mail on my iphone. As of now, I only seem to be able to sync the inboxes. If I delete a mail on my iphone, it disappears on both the server and imac. I only seem to be able to make it move the mail to the deleted mail box and keep it there.

That's the way IMAP servers work. The messages really live on the server; the iPhone and the iMac just view them.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

Deleting emails on the server..is that possible?

Good Morning:
I have a new iPod touch and 3 (long sad story) email accounts. One is a ,mac account, one is a gmail account and one is a POP account.
I have tried fussing with the settings for two weeks now and I am close to giving up.
I need my iPod Touch to delete the email from the servers when it downloads it or when I delete it from the iPod. It doesn't matter which as long as it does not stay on the server to be downloaded to my computer later as "new" email. I can't seem to make it work that way. No matter what, the email appears on my computer as a "new" email.
I am going to be traveling for over a month and would like to be able to read my email once and not have to sort 6 thousand messages when I get back.
What are the appropriate setting combinations to make this work?
I thought I was a pretty savvy guy, but apparently not.
Thanks for any instructions or help y'all can offer.

I found the answer, not here but by pestering an Apple representative I know. As an aside, he was a bit confused as well. He called in his "team" and we got an answer.
It turns out that even POP accounts are asked when to delete the messages off the server and the Touch treats POP accounts a bit like an IMAP account. If you tell it to remove deleted emails off the server after one day, which is as close as the Touch comes to behaving like a POP account and pulling messages off the server immediately, it will remove them after one day, not immediately, like a typical POP connection.
If I pull email from my POP account to the Touch on Monday morning and delete it on the Touch, it will be there for my laptop to pull and remove from the server Monday afternoon, but by Tuesday, the laptop wouldn't see it. Does that make sense?

How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

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".

IPhone 4 deleting email from Yahoo server

Just upgraded to iPhone 4 from the original one. Noticed that when I delete email from my Yahoo account, the messages are also deleted from the server and can not be retrieved from my iMac/iBook. This did NOT happen with my old iPhone. Tried re-entering my Yahoo account but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks

Found the solution. Delete the Yahoo account. Create a new "Yahoo" account using the "Other" e-mail account setting. Called it "Yahoo1". After providing the normal Yahoo set-up information, my iPhone went into the "verifying" mode and after some time (checking the settings with Yahoo) it created the account on my iPhone. Went to the "advanced" setting and got a different screen then with the original Yahoo account. This screen had an option "delete from server", which I set for never and now everything is working fine.
Again, I did NOT get this screen when using the normal default Yahoo account set-up. Only using "other" did I get this option.

Hi, I have updated my MacPro, Iphone and Ipad and installed the Icloud. My Ipod merges with the Ipad and visa versa but neither merges with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them.

I have updated my MacBook Pro, my Iphone 4 and my Ipad2. My Iphone merges with the Ipad via ICloud and visa versa, but neither merge with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them. there are no further updates on my notebook to download, any suggestions?

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

ICloud help: universal apps wont automatically download to iphone 4s after downloading them on ipad and vis versa.

Some apps that are universal will automatically download like, temple run, ibooks, bejeweled. But many other apps that are also universal like watchespn and pandora radio , wont automatically download to my ipad when i download them on my iphone and vis versa. Idk what the problem is and the guy i called at apple couldnt figure it out. Is this happening to anyone else and if so have you fixed it? dont say rebooyt or restart because i did that and nothin happened. Thanks

On both devices tap Settings > Store
Toggle Apps off then back on.
See if that helps...

In mail, I unchecked store deleted messages on the server and now I have 2 (duplicate) iCloud IMAP accounts in mail. If I delete one, will I loose my mail?

If I delete one of my duplicate ICloud accounts, will I loose all my mail? I was searching for where I was getting the deleted mail and unchecked the store deleted messages on the server. That made changes to my account and now under accounts in mail I have the same account twice. I do not want to loose my mail and am affraid to delete one of the accounts.

Im trying to avoid a reinstall so am hoping there is a supporting file I have missed that can be trashed. I have also just tried trashing the ~/library/mail folder but there is no change to the check box behaviour.

How can I stop my iPhone 5 deleting e-mails from the server?

I know this question has been asked before, and has been answered in respect of iPhone 4 models, but I don't seem to be able to find any answers for this problem with the iPhone 5.
When I delete an e-mail from my iPhone, it means I can't access it from my laptop. It never appears on my laptop because it has been deleted altogether. That's not what I want! It means I have to keep e-mails I would otherwise delete from my iPhone simply because I want to read and/or retain them on my laptop.
I only want to keep e-mails on my iPhone that I want on my iPhone and want to delete the rest, not altogether, but just from my iPhone. I often want to deal with an e-mail on my laptop even if I have deleted it from my iPhone. Hope that makes sense!
Thanks for any help!

That behavior is a function of the type of email service you are using which in your case must be IMAP. There is no way of changing that behavior on the iPhone. Perhaps you should investigate switching to a POP-type email service.
There would be no difference between the iPone 4 and iPhone 5 in this respect.

How can I stop all of my old emails from downloading to my new iphone?

When I upgraded to iphone 4S a few years ago, hundreds and hundreds of old emails suddenly downloaded to my iphone, and I couldn't stop it. I can't remember how I resolved the problem then -- but it is happening again with my new iphone 6. My badge is showing 1,000 new emails. How to I correct this?

So the .ini file might read:

How do I stop my iphone received e-mails from cutting short in Outlook?

I have set up my my Iphone Mail Account using gmail/googlemail.
I often look at my e-mails for the first time using my Iphone but save them in Outlook 2003.
I have found, however, that Outlook is now not downloading the WHOLE of the e-mail, only the part that my Iphone automatically downloaded at first instance. I also now get within my "Outlook version" the "Begin forwarded message" which comes from Iphone.
How do I ensure that Outlook downloads the whole of my message and not just part of it?

You can first export your contacts in your Android phone to your desktop or to a storage device. After this, please open your Gmail account followed by settings and then click on import button there. Then choose the saved contact file that you saved in the previous step.
The next step is to iPhone. In this device, tap on Settings option and then click Add account and then click on Microsoft Exchange in there. Just feed in the required information in the respective fields such as your email ID, password, server name. Now just go through the rest of the process which is very easy to transfer contacts from Android device to iPhone.
Best of Luck!!
