HT201320 deleting emails off of the server account

How do I set up my email account to delete emails off the server account when I delete them off my iPhone 5?

You would need an IMAP account.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

    Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
    This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
    How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

    I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
    Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
    My usual former scheme is:
    a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
    b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
    Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
    So:
    a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
    b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
    c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
    Resuming:
    1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
    2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
    3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
    As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
    Any ideas?

  • How do I tell Firefox to leave email messages on the server when my Tools Options doesn't show Account Settings?

    I am trying to get my emails forwarded to my Blackberry. I have set up my Blackberry with the new email destination, which Blackberry confirmed. I receive the emails are not being forwarded to my phone. When I consulted Blackberry's help, it said that I needed to go into my server setting and select the option to leave email messages on the server. I work in Firefox, and when I look under Tools, there is no option to do this.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • How to delete email off iPad and iPhone 5s sharing deletes

    When I delete email off my iPad, the email is still marked as unopened and present on my iPhone 5s.  I've tried everything to make them sync, but it isn't working!  Please help!

    Then it is pretty much behaving as designed. With POP, one device doesn't know what another is doing. If you want to easily manage email on multiple devices, you should consdier moving to an IMAP account (or converting your current account, if your provider offers that as an option).

  • How can I create a fIlter to delete only "junk" from the server?

    One of my E-mail accounts is that of a major client. I handle their customer service online. Normally our protocol is to always leave all messages on the server, so for that one Thunderbird account, I have it set to never delete messages on the server.
    But the account recently started getting a lot of junk messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job at marking those and placing them in the junk folder for that account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably those more than "x" days old so I could monitor the activity to be sure that no important message are removed.
    I did notice that in "Filters" I can create a custom filter from a header of my choice, but can't seem to create what I want which is:
    - after mail is marked as Junk by Thunderbird to delete those messages from the server if they are older than "X" days (my choice of "X").
    - not delete any other messages from the server for that account

    I believe that did it! Thank you. I am running those changes on a secondary E-Mail address for the same job and server and it appears to be working properly.

  • How do I set up two email address on the same account?

    Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
    Is there a way?
    Thanks for any help.

    After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
    The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
    Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
    If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
    If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
    However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
    At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
    If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
    I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
    Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
    One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
    Thanks again for all the inputs.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

  • Leave mails send to specefic email adresses on the server?

    I have several email adresses at my mail account, but for different users. I want Mail just to download my emails (send to my email adress) and leave the rest (send to other email adresses, but on same account) on the server.
    In Windows Mail I could put up a rule for the program not to download mails send to specefic email adresses from the server, but this doesnt seem to be an option in the Mail on the Mac OS. Any solution for this?

  • Blackberry 8330 - Deleteing email off both Blackberry & Home Computer

    I currently have a Blackberry 8330, v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59).
    I used to be prompted to delete emails off both my blackberry and my home computer's Windows Mail.  I think after updating the Blackberry, this option was no longer available, which requires me to read emails on my Blackberry and then to have to delete them off my home computer.
    Does anyone know of a way that I can restore this function to my Blackberry?
    Thanks in advance.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you say "updating the BlackBerry" do you mean you updated the software or you upgraded the device from an older device?
    When you open an email, scroll up into the headers.  Next to "Received Using" does it list the email address or does it say unknown?
    If it says "unknown" you may just need to resend your service books. 
    Go to the icon on your device that says Email Setup (Manage Internet Email on some devices) and go into the setup for your email.  There is an option to "resend service books."
    If it shows your email address then it doesn't hurt to go ahead and resend the service books anyway but then you'll need to:
    Go into Messages >Options >Email Reconciliation.
    Choose the Message Service in question (there may be multiple ones if you have more than one email address set up on the device.
    Then change "Delete On" to "Prompt."
