HT3228 My Bellsouth/Yahoo mail automatically deletes from server on my iPad Mini. There is no option under Advanced to change this to "never". This does not happen on my iPhone or my Mac.

I have a new iPad mini. My Bellsouth/Yahoo mail account deletes mail from the server. There is no setting under Advanced to change delete from server. this is not a problem on my iPhone or MAC, only the iPad. It is also not a problem with my other mail accounts.

Because Airplaying to a Mac natively is not supported.
Using AirPlay
As discussed in the article, newer Macs can AirPlay to an Apple TV or Airport Express.

HT3228 I don't see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone4, is there a way to keep it from the server so that I can check emails from multiple devices?.

I'm using IPhone 4 to check emails. Is there a way on the IPhone to setup that the messages would still be on the server so that when I check on my laptops the messages are still there. I can do this setup for multiple laptops but don't know how I can do it for the IPhone.
I got help and setup all the things they told me but the problem is that I did not see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone 4 to select. Is there anything else that I am missing? Thanks

The default for IMAP is that it does NOT delete the email from the server when it pushes the email to a device. Only if you tell a device to tell the server to delete the email, will it actually delete from the server.

E-mail being deleted from server

Hello,
I have aol e-mail and use my iPhone and Outlook Express configured. Everything's working great except one issue. My e-mails are being deleted from the server after a month or so. I can't determine if the deletion is because of the number of messages or the time on the server. Is there any way to prevent this? I am not sure if it's a setting w/ Outlook Express, the iPhone or Outlook Express.
Thanks,
Shauna

Well, I use the full blown version of Outlook, and right now I'm on my work computer and it is a laptop using Vista so I don't have Outlook Express on here. However, I would imagine that it is in the Accounts section. This is where you set the parameters for the mail account. You can look there, or I can check later on after I get home. Maybe someone else that uses OE can chime in here and get you the location.
Hope this helps you.

Thumbnail art is deleted from downloaded videos on iPad mini

I lost all my video thumbnail art. Video files were downloaded online and opened using iTunes. The art shows in my iTunes but not on the synced tablet. I have changed the genre's of all the videos, changed the videos from 'home videos' to 'movies' and back again, rebooted, signed in and out, rebooted, synced...you name it I've tried it. Still no file art.

Hi aprild75,

Help, can't delete song from iTunes on my iPad mini.Swiping doesn't work

When I swipe a song to delete from iTunes on my iPad mini, nothing happens. How do I get these songs off?

How do the songs show in the Music app ? If they have the cloud icon against them then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of cloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'off'
If they don't have the cloud icon then are you swiping/dragging across the songs from right-to-left - that should reveal a Delete button to the song's right.
Or if you have iOS 8 you should be able to delete songs / albums / artists (or all music)via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (under the 'storage' heading) > Music, you should have an Edit button at the top right of that screen.

Mails forwarded from yahoo account automatically deleted by icloud mail.

Recently I have completely switched over to iCloud mail for sending and receiving all mails. There were two problems that I found. These are as follows:
1. I am forwarding all the mails from my gmail, ymail and outlook.com account to iCloud.com account. But some of the messages don't reach (or probably are automatically deleted from) my iCloud mailbox. I have checked the junk email folder also. They are not there. Some of these emails like the promotional mails I have subscribed to and my Internet bill are not really spam. Still somehow they don't get into my iCloud mailbox despite my yahoo account forwarding them. Proof that the yahoo account is forwarding them is that all those emails were deleted from my yahoo account automatically after being forwarded.
Is there a way to correct this unwanted behavior of iCloud mail. I want all the mails to appear and then I'll decide what is junk and what should be deleted.
2. The second problem is that if I disconnect my iPad from the wifi and then connect it again after some time, then the mails that I received in the mean time are not automatically pushed to my iPad from the server as soon as I connect my iPad to a wifi network. This didn't happen when I was using outlook.com account. I have to manually refresh the inbox now or wait for some new mail to arrive which will flush all the waiting mails in one go.
Please help me. The first problem particularly is very annoying, please help.

IMAP mail accounts have a remote view of the emails on the server.
You 'subscribe' to see the contents of server folders.
Only the headers are downloaded and when you select an email the folder is copied to a temp cache to facilitate quicker access to that folder.
These emails are not stored on your computer.
If you choose to 'synchronize' folders, then a copy of the folder is downloaded to your thunderbird Profile folder.
This means you can view those emails when in offline mode. These emails are on your computer, BUT as these folders are set to synchronize, it means that folder can get updated by the server, if emails are removed off the server and you synch, you will see all of those emails disappear from Thunderbird to synch and match the server.
So the best method is to synchronize the folder to get emails onto your computer, then go into 'offline' mode so that Thunderbird cannot connect with server.
Then move those emails into suitable folders in Local Folders.
The 'Local Folder' folders will be stored on your computer and will not be efected by the IMAP mail account even when you later select to remove it.
You can use this addon to create a backup of Local Folder folders and emails and also synchronised folders in offline mode.
* https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
Right click on folder in Local Folders (or a synchronized folder in offline mode)
select 'Importexporttool'
then you have a selection of methods available.

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

No. The data that you downloaded from your iPhone will remain on your MBP.

Mail not moving messages or deleting from server until application quitted

I have an Outlook.com email account. When I delete messages or move them in Apple Mail, the change is not reflected on the server until I quit the program completely. This isn't happening with other actions. Mail is immediately marked as read or flagged on the server for example. When I move or delete messages in Mail they actually show up in both the original location and the new location until the application is quitted.
Anything I can do to fix this?
OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
Apple Mail 7.1

Hi Thomas
Yes...personal folders are mailboxes I've created to organize my mail. I know as a fact that this messages still are on the server even after moving them to "personal folders". anyway I think i can get around this issue by rightcliking on the account and then getting account information. I can then filter by "removed from my mac". at that stage there's an option to select those messages and "delete from server"...I think this will work...will try now.
Thanks for your help

When I delete an email from my iPhone 5 it is also automatically deleted from my Home PC and my Providers server. Can I stop this happening?

When I delete an email from my iPhone 5 the mail is also automatically deleted from my home pc on Windows Mail and also my providers server.
How can I stop this happening?

That's the way IMAP and Exchange accounts work. They synchronize the message store completely between the server and all clients.
If you don't really want to delete it, then don't delete it. File it into a folder instead.

Mail stays on my phone even when it is deleted from server

I am using a POP server. On all of my phones that I have used before the phones mail software would keep the phone mail contents same like the server, so when a mails gets deleted from the server it would also be deleted from the phone. But my phone is still keeping these mails even though they are not on the server anymore, and the mail storage usage is increasing and increasing. Is there any way to keep the server contents and phone contents same? Am I missing some setting or something else? (am using 4S with IOS8.1.1)
FYI: I am using Outlook and have set it up not to delete the mails from the server before 10 days (thats a convenient time frame for a managable amount of e-mails) So I expect to see the last 10 days e-mails on my phone and nothing more. When Outlook deletes the last 10th days e-mails from the server, they should also be deleted from my phone when it connects to the server and doesn't see them.
Thank you for your time & help.

My computer tech guy helped me figure it out ...but to answer your question...Yes, in fact changing the password did some how change the setting to default to imap.
Here are the steps:
1) recreate the acccount by choosing 'other''
2) the account automatically defaults to IMAP
2) enter an incorrect password AND change the host name from imap to the appropriate pop address
3 )this then prompts a 'pop' option
4) enter the correct password and save
computers / phones have very strange brains...but I'm just glad it worked.

Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

IMAP option to not delete from server OR recommend alternate mail app?

Using POP in Windows computer and IMAP on iphone.
In the iphone, POP has the opton to "delete from server: never"
There seems no way to accomplish this in the stock mail app when using IMAP ?
Using POP on the iphone is not an option due to the longstanding issue of the Apple mail apps not sending a proper termination signal back. The mailbox remains locked until the server times it out for inactivity and cleans up the stale lock after 10 minutes. The result is "wrong password" on the computer if it then tries to retrieve during that period. It's a feature of POP by design to use a lock to prevent corruption caused by simultaneous access to the mailbox. BUT, BB,Android,Windows all handle this correctly so that their POP transaction (and the mailbox lock) only lasts seconds! Only ever see this persistent lock with Apple mail clients
The user likes to keep his phone inbox clean, he will delete messages as he deals with them as well as messages he is postponing to deal with on computer later.
Moving messages to a 'later' folder won't help, as that 'later' folder will not be available thru POP (for the computer)
They also don't want to use IMAP on the computer because they don't want their communications stored on the server any longer than necessary.
Can anyone recommend:
- Windows IMAP client which downloads all and keeps a local copy of inbox which does not synch with server inbox.
- Alternate mail app for iphone which allows "delete from device only // never delete from server "

That's not how IMAP works. If you want to keep the inbox clean, but not delete the messages, create folders and move the messages into them for later review.
