How to stop emails from downloading

How do I stop old emails from downloading again onto my iphone?

Hi,
You can disable your mail account on your iPhone. Go in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calenders > [Select your mail account] and disable Mail.

  • How to stop iPad from downloading emails from months ago

    I have a bellsouth.net mail account and my iPad keeps receiving emails from months ago and says I have over 10,000 emails yet to receive. How do I stop this and get only recently sent emails. Help it's driving me crazy,

    Hi-
    Using your account page on your email server, there should be a way to delete all old emails.
    I have mine set to delete automatically after a set time period. In this fashion, all received emails, whatever the device, are only recent mails.

  • How to stop Mail from downloading automatically even it is set not too

    My mail programme preferences are set to download manually.
    In advanced, the account is not 'included in automatically checking for new mail'
    I use scripts to send mails after certain tasks are ready. Sometimes (randomly) mail all of a sudden downloads all mail.
    Anybody know what could cause this?
    How to stop it as I do not want it to download mail at all as I use an other programme for reading and writing mail.

    Hi Mulder
    What you're describing doesn't make sense. Mail doesn't download mail if it's set to wait for a manual initiation.
    I know however...
    But once that is check is initiated, any and all waiting mail will be downloaded.
    I know.
    I've never heard of this happening before, to anyone. Unless your preferences are corrupted, which there's no indication of at this point, something else is triggering Mail to check for new email.
    I never heard either, hence posting
    But if you're using some other program for sending and receiving email, why would you have that account setup in Mail, as that would defeat the purpose of supposedly using that other program. If you really want to eliminate the possibility of this happening, you would need to delete that account in Mail, and backup the mail for that account before you delete it.
    complex issue, but rather keep both programmes.
    Otherwise, we need more details, including which version of Mac OS X you're running, and the other program that you're using for email.
    OS 10.5.5
    Mail 3.5

  • How to stop email from hitting gwia?

    Hi all,
    We have email (from many different sources) hitting the gwia for a former employee. It may not be doing damage (i dont know) but it keeps the gwia busy and its annoying. How do I stop it.
    Thanks

    Provided that account name is no longer valid to receive mail for your
    system, deleted or in a class of service not allowed incoming internet
    mail, then the GWIA will drop the connection as soon as it sees the
    recipient name of the incoming transmission. So the minimum of time is
    lost, there's no real way to stop the message getting to your MX record
    host.

  • How to stop email attachments downloading?

    Hi
    I have a POP3 account and regularly get large image files sent to me that I don't need to view until I get home. I do need to be able to check the rest of my emails though. Is there a way i can stop the iPhone downloading attachments, or place a size limit on any attachments it downloads.
    If I'm abroad I'd still want data roaming because I'd like to check emails, but the bill for attachments will be horrific?
    Cheers
    Andy

  • How to Stop Email from BB Being Delivered to Desktop?

    Can email delivery from the BB to the desktop be supressed? How?
    Thanks.

    HI there!
    Can you expand on that a little bit more? On it's face, the function you describe (email delivery from BB to Desktop) is not a function at all...so please provide a bit more detail so that we can understand exactly what it is that you are looking for.
    Thanks!

  • How to stop Mail from downloading automatically?

    I have the preferences for mail set to download manually. however, every time I send a mail or sometimes when I start the programme it downloads the mail. anybody know how to fix this?

    In Mail preferences, select the Accounts section. For each account, go to the Advanced tab and make sure that the 'Include when automatically checking for new mail' option is unchecked.
    That should do it.

  • HT1491 how to stop iphone from downloading shows

    I bought a season pass to a show on my iphone but I don't want it to download to my iphone. But it's cued up and I can't delete the download.

    If the restore process is restoring photos it is in the "background" restore mode.  While it is recommended that you let this complete, if has already been several days and  you can stop the process by restarting the phone.  To do this, hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  (Apple estimates that it can take up to 1-4 hours per gigabyte for the restore process to complete.)

  • Cant stop emails from downloading iPhone 3G

    I just got my 3g not to long ago. However, im having some issues with emails.
    I have it set to fetch manually, have push turned off.
    I want to be able to download my emails ONLY if i choose. I dont want it to push to my phone. I have tried everything, but no matter what, my emails will continue to download throughout the day. Its random times too.
    I have tried a Reset, please dont ask again..working on my 4th already.
    Is there some setting im missing? IM sure i got it all...a few different places.
    I just dont understand why you dont have a send and receive button for each email account.

    Jailbroken phones can run apps in background, among other things. So mail could run at the same time with other apps. When phones do odd things that most people don't see the first thought is that the phone isn't normal.
    I tried to duplicate the issue you posted. I sent an email to a POP3 account, then opened the brown Contacts icon. The phone did not retrieve the email.
    I then sent an email to an IMAP account on the phone, and opened Contacts. Again, the phone did not retrieve the email.
    Next I sent an email to an Exchange push account I have on the iPhone. This time the badge on the mail app showed 1 message, which is what I would expect. I again opened Contacts and the phone did not retrieve any email.
    Finally, I opened the mail app. The POP and IMAP messages were downloaded after I opened mail, not before. The Exchange push message was already there.
    So I don't see why your phone is acting differently. All I can suggest at this point is to do a Restore as a new phone, then recreated your email accounts if you are sure push, notifications, and Fetch are all off.

  • 10.8.5 how to stop emails from Apple Support Communities?

    My spam folder is full.

    You're welcome and it's ok - I'm not doing this for points.......
    For future threads, you should have a note below all posts (but your initial post) that you can hit a solved or helpful. I just realized: you didn't have your topic marked as a question, but as a discussion, so that's why you can't award any points.

  • How do I stop iTunes from downloading multiple copies of a TV show?

    This is driving me nuts.  Using Doctor Who as the example, for each episode released, iTunes tries to download two HD copies and one SD copy.  I don't need the SD, nor do I need to duplicate HD.  Yet I can't stop it from trying to download them when I start iTunes, nor can I figure out how to permanently remove or cancel a pending download.
    Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
    -- edit ---
    Didn't have much luck matching search terms for this before posting, yet after posting links came up referencing other queries in which people asked how to stop iTunes from downloading the HD and SD versions of a TV show.  Consensus seems to be that iTunes will always download each version, which is just plain silly.  Haven't seen any explaination, however, on why it then tries to download a second HD copy.

    That is correct.  This is the way it is ALL HD purchases come with the SD version.

  • Stop email copy/download to iPAD

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to stop iPAD from downloading copies of gmail? I want to be able to do my email online, but if my iPAD were ever lost or stolen, I don't want copies of my email on the iPAD itself. Thanks!

    Yes, you CAN use the mobile OR the desktop version of GMail web mail to manage Google mail from the iPad.
    By as pointed out, if you set a passcode or pin (preferably the former), your iPad is AUTOMATICALLY encrypted. Whilst locked there is no way to access the encrypted data.
    So choose a reasonable passcode and you will be very safe unless you are someone either high-profile or wanted by a government agency! In that case, I am guessing that there would be sufficient incentive for someone to brute-force entry.
    Also note that the default settings mean that after 6 incorrect passwords, you are forced to wait longer between attempts and after the 10th attempt, the iPad is automatically wiped clean of data. For the really paranoid, these settings can be configured using the enterprise configuration tool for iPhones/iPads.

  • TS4002 stop email from deletion when deleted on another device

    how to stop email from deletion when deleted on another device.

    With IMAP - the email protocol the iCloud uses - the messages live on the server and are read from there by your devices. Think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense. Therefore when your wife deletes a message she is actually deleting it from the server, which is why you see it as deleted. You can't alter this; it's inherent in the system.
    The only workaround is to sort out a method whereby emails don't get deleted until both of you have seen them - for example she could move them to another folder and you could then read them there and delete them (so their presence in that folder always means that the other person has seen them).

  • I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
    I would contact iTunes if clicking on the link did not results in it downloading to your iPod.
