How to delete emails across devices

I want to be able to delete emails once but find if I delete from my iPad mini or iPhone, they still appear on the iMac desktop.  How do I get deletions to synch across all three devices?

Unless your email account is an IMAP account, you have to delete the email on each device. The actions in a POP email account do not sync across devices. That only works with IMAP accounts.

  • Would be nice for Apple to create means for deleting email across all devices. Time consuming device by device especially for members receiving many emails. What do you think gang?!

    How about Apple creating a means to delete email across devices especially when you have like 4 Apple devices (Mac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone) Would benefit those of us receiving 13 - 1700 messages across the products. iOS 8 coming in fall. What do you think gang. Very frustrating and time consuming!!

    If you have a suggestion for product improvement, provide feedback to Apple - you aren't talking to them here.

  • How to delete emails on all devices simultaneously

    Cannot find the answer to my question and probably won't be able to ask using the correct terminology, but...
    I have a mac laptop, iphone, and ipad as well as a mobile me account. I also have three email accounts set up on each of these devices through the mail application (me.com, hotmail, and gmail)
    I am trying to figure out how to delete emails simultaneously from all devices when I delete it on one device. For example: I delete an email I read on my ipad from my hotmail account and want it it disappear from the inbox on my iphone and laptop. As it is now I have to delete messages separately from all devices... meaning I have to waste time reviewing messages I have already decided to throw away.
    Can anyone offer help on how to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Actually, Yahoo is Imap (as is google).  but the point remains - if you are using a pop account, you need to delete the mail from each device.(pop is basically a one way system).  If you have an imap account, changes you make of one device are communicated to all your other devices.

  • How to delete emails on BB Z 10 and not on Hotmail account?

    So I have been trying to figure out how to delete emails on my BBZ10 so if I let someone use my phone they will not be  able to snoop at my emails. When I delete them from my BBZ10 they are deleted from the server too. Is there a way to delete them on the phone only? Or is there a way to just password protect just the email account? That would be neat, password protect just one or two applications instead of the whole phone. Password protect Facebook only, Twitter only or an email account only.
    Thanks for your help.

    deleted emails are also deleted from the server (no more BIS).
    I don't believe that you can password protect email access. The password gets stored at account setup. If you change the account password, I believe that the Z10 will ask you for the new password. I don't know if you will have the option not to save it though.

  • I have an iPad and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent email to.

    I have an iPad 2 and want to know how to delete email addresses for those that I have sent mail to.

    Email addresses that are not in your Contacts app but which still show up in Mail will disappear after a period of time when they are unused. Just ignore them and they will eventually go away.

  • How to delete EMAIL accounts

    I am using Nokia E72. could you please suggest how to delete EMAIL accounts from Mobile

    If the accounts have been set up with Nokia Messaging, then go to email.nokia.com, log in there with the details of the first account you set up, and then you can delete accounts you don't need.
    Once done when the phone next syncs it will remove them from the phone.
    If they are manually configured accounts, then on the phone, just go to Email->Settings-> scroll to the account -> Options -> Remove mailbox

  • Syncing email across devices

    The directions given for syncing email across devices is not working for me.  I followed them precisely.  HELP!!! This is very frustrating.

    We need better information.  What devices are you using?   Are you setting the account up using IMAP?

  • For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

    I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps...  I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
    Thank you for your help!

    IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
    If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
    The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

  • How to delete email address from blackberry 8530

    Hello,
    I think you have bigger problems. With a 2nd hand device, there are specific steps to take:

    I think you need to contact the former owner and have them perform their steps. Only then should you attempt your steps.
    Good luck!

  • Deleted email setup device on phone

    I deleted the email setup device on my phone. I received an email saying I needed to update my password. I tried doing it online but can't remember my password or login. How can I reload the email setup device to I can do it on the phone?????

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Did you delete the email setup wizard?
    Also probably the best thing to do is call the carrier, have your PIN and ESN number and get them to reset the account.
    Let me know about the email Icon.
    Thanks
