How to keep old email messages from downloading on new iphone?

I just got an iphone5 and linked it to my google email account.  I use Outlook for managing my emails on my computer and have very few emails in the inbox, but my iphone is trying to download 30,000 emails from my main google account.  How do I stop it?

ayushrathi thank you for the suggestion.  Unfortunately the mail days to sync option was not there.  I'm not sure why not because it should be. 
I don't mind deleting most of the gmail messages in that inbox, but I can only find a way to either delete all or only 100 at a time.  I would like to be able to delete only those dated more than 90 days old.

  • HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

    HOW TO IMPORT MY EMAILS (MESSAGES) FROM OUTLOOK 2007?

    Into what email program on the Mac?
    Mail
    Outlook for Mac '11
    Entourage '04/'08
    Thunderbird
    Eudora
    ... etc
    If it's going into Mail you'll need to do a work around, it's not a "straight" transfer unless you buy a 3rd party application called Outlook2Mac.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

  • Mail - how to delete old email addresses from FROM box?

    I'm using:
    Mail 4.5
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    iCloud IMAP for my mac.com/me.com email address
    When I compose new messages, in the FROM box are listed old mac.com email alias addresses that I have deleted. 
    I tried deleting the icloud IMAP account within mail, then recreating that account.  But still, those old alias email addresses still appear.  And one of them has the name of my ex-girlfriend, so I really want that off my screen, haha!
    How can I delete those expired email address from the from box?
    Otherwise, my iCloud IMAP account works fine.
    Thanks for your help!
    Bill

    Thanks, Kurt.
    Yes, those are email aliases (that I created on mobileme) that I no longer I have.  I still have the main mac.com address, but today I deleted the aliases through iCloud.
    And thanks.  But I already tried that.  After deleting the iCloud aliases on the iCloud website, I then deleted the iCloud account in preferences.  And in the FROM box, ALL the icloud email aliases and main mac.com addresses disappeared.  But when I recreated the iCloud acount within preferences, all those aliases reappeared in the from box.
    I did another test - I set up the email account on my friend's computer (also running 10.6.8).  And same problem.  So looks like the problem is on iCloud's end. 
    Meaning that though I deleted those aliases from the iCloud website, when I create an email account from within Mail, it gets the info from the iCloud server and that hasn't been updated to reflect deleting those aliases.
    Hm.

  • How do I import email messages from another server?

    Heya,
    So I can't figure out how to import mail messages from another server into this one? I had [email protected] pointing to the old one, when I repointed it obviously all my email "disappeared" because there is none on the new server. So how do I move it from the old server to the new one? Usually I'd just drag and drop the email message files over FTP but SLS doesn't seem to give me permission to do that on this one.
    Thanks!

  • How to save old email database, and make a new one

    can anybody please lead me to a direction sheet for saving your old email database, making a new one, and then importing the old messages into the new database?
    thanks in advance

    I have been trying to figure out why my mac mail will start to down load, and then it stops. I have 50 messages that i'm trying to POP and it start out fine, then after 10 or so messages it stops. i have tried to delete the messages from the server to see if there is some specific message that is causing problems to no success.
    so now i'm trying to just remove the old Messages and start a new mail data file from scratch. then move the old messages into it, that is if it can be done.

  • Cant delete old email address from icloud on my iphone 5, cant delete old email address from icloud on my iphone 5

    Hi Everyone, have updated my primary email address in itunes etc and main apple account.  However i cant delete my old email off my iphone 5 from the icloud account.  It prompts me each time for my old address and password and when i try and put them in it says the password is wrong....my apps and everything else is ok, just the icloud.  Really fed up it wont let me delete it on my iphone.  Any help appreciated, have tried other past suggestions but i cant get past it asking for my old log in details which are now not working....

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I get my apps from mac to new iPhone 5

    How do I upload my apps from the Mac to a new iPhone5

    What apps? Are these apps you purchased or downloaded from the iOS App Store?
    If so start iTunes on your Mac and connect your iPhone. Then sync your apps.
    Alternately you can use the App Store app on your phone and download previously purchased apps directly to the phone.

  • Lost Iphone and old apps in itune download to new iphone

    I have lost my iphone recently. I have purchase a lot of apps in my itune account for the original iphone. Can I syn all my old data in itune and load my purchase in itune to my new iphone ( not yet buy)

    Do you mean that I need to buy the apps for my new iPhone if that apps have been transfered and install in my old lost iPhone?
    If you bought apps using iTunes on your computer, or you bought them on the iPhone, then transferred them to the computer, they will have copies on your computer. When you sync your new iPhone, iTunes will copy those apps to the new iPhone.
    If you had purchased some apps on the old iPhone and did not transfer them to the computer, you can purchase them again. If you use the same iTunes account as the original purchase, you will not be charged again.

  • How to delete old email aliases from Mac Mail?

    I have been a Mac user since the '90s and like many, evolved up from the original OS X to today's Lion.  10 years ago, we created email aliases in a very early version of Mac Mail and today, they still populate the drop-down menu when I'm selecting the email account to send from.  Since there are 3 total aliases x 2 accounts (.Mac and .Me), I have 6 unneeded addresses which I'd like to delete.
    I cannot use iCloud for this, as it shows that I do  not have any aliases..  so there is nothing to delete.
    Any ideas on how to clean up the email address drop-down and delete the old aliases?
    Thanks everyone!
    Eric

    Open Mail's preferences, and edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Delete any servers for these accounts.
    You said you checked iCloud for this. I assume you meant you went to iCloud.com and checked the accounts there for aliases.
