does email remain on icloud server indefinitely?

Until you delete it or run out of space. (whichever comes first)

  • Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

    Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
    I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
    1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive.  Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application?  Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
    2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
    Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear.  Many thanks for the help.

    2)  iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses.  For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
    I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac.  On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them.  I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

  • 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?

  • Does email sync over iCloud also support sync of non iCloud email accounts?

    I use mac, ipad and iphone with sync over iCloud. While ipad and iphone sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email accounts, email sync between mac and ios devices works only for iCloud email account.
    Please clarify whether iCloud should sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email account across all apple devices (mac, iphone, ipad) or it is not designed to do so.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for clarification.
    However, after rechecking everything again, I can cofirm that full sync of all email accounts (icloud and non icloud) on all apple devices works perfectly as long emails originate from ios device. Unfortunately, this does work if email is sent from mac.
    Thanks again.

  • HT4864 No email access from iCloud.

    Does anyone know why I am suddenly unable to access my email thru my @me.com account via any device - iPhone, iPad or iMac?  I can send emails and my wife can access her account through any of the devices.  This has only just happened and nothing has changed from my end - that I am aware of.

    I was able to get email to work using the following settings:
    Incoming Mail Server:
         Name=incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
         SSL=no
         Port=110
    Outgoing Mail Server
         Name=outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
         SSL=no
         Port=587

  • Does music remain in iCloud if I don't renew?

    Hey all,
    I was wanting to pause my iTunes match subscription for about three months, and then later I want to renew sometime in 2014; my current subscription expires in 29 December 2013.
    If I do not renew my subscription after December 29, what happens to all my music? About half of it (19GB) is uploaded, while the rest has been matched. Do I have to upload all my music again when I renew next year?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You will lose access to the music in the cloud, so you should make sure that you have all your music downloaded to your computer and also have a separate backup.
    If you re subscribe later, iTunes Match may have to rescan your computer. I don't think that Apple immediately removes content from their server. I vaguely recall reading that the music is cleared after 3 months. Irrespective of this, I understand that your music will need to be on your hard drive when you resubscribe.

  • TS4083 emails sent from my iPhone do not update the iCloud server or my computer

    I have a problem that emails that I send from my iPhone do not appear in my computer or in the sent folder in the iCloud server. Any help with this? I have a lot ef sent emails from my iPhone that I don't want to lose!!

    Yes, iCloud is my default mail.
    The problem I see with deleting the account is that I fear I will lose the sent mails which are only stored in the iPhone but nowhere else. I have also realised that the only emails that the iCloud server Sent foilder has stored are the ones that I sent from my Macbook and not the ones I sent from the iPhone. So in Summary:
    - Emails sent from MacBook Air - stored on the iCloud server and MacBook
    - Emails sent from iPhone - stored on Sent folder on iPhone
    Any further thoughts?

  • TS3276 iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep

    iCloud email on OSX 10.8 does not connect to the server after sleep.  The only way I can reconnect the iCloud email is to restart the computer. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

    I would suggest you try opening "Mail">click on "Mailboxes" in the Menu Bar> and select "Rebuild" from the list.  That may solve it.

    Make sure you have the correct server settings as detailed here:

  • Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email

    Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
    After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013).  After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa.   Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts."  Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient.  It either works or it doesn't.  It doesn't. 
    Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices.  This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
    I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions.  The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.

    I don't think so.  I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it.  It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

  • Why does the server list in mail not contain the details of the icloud server

    When I check the preferences in mail for my email accounts, the icloud smtp server called "iCloud (iCloud)" shows as a choice for the outgoing server. When I click the drop down box there it's in the list. If I then click edit server list the next dialogue box that comes up shows all the possible outgoing servers except the icloud one. Does this mean that the account for my .icloud address will not use the icloud smtp server even though on the account dialogue it shows as being selected.

    It does not mean that, the Apple server will be used if you check 'Use only this Server'

  • Send iCloud email from alternative smtp server?

    How do I send iCloud email from alternative smtp server? The setting is 'greyed out' on my iPhone so I cannot tell iCloud to use another server.
    The reason is so I can have my outgoing email appear from my own domain email address rather than my me.com address. Mobileme would allow this - and Mail on the Mac does allow it, but the iPhone under iOS 5 seems not to allow it....
    Any ideas?

    I have spent about 4-6 hours working directly with folks from Tim Cooke's office, various support levels, and through them their engineers.
    As much as I tried to convince them their logic is flawed, the engineers for iCloud come back and say this is expected behavior because somehow it helps secure iCloud from being a spam source. The fine and helpful gentleman from Cooke's office now understands how it is a MobileMail.app client issue, having nothing to do with iCloud servers (because we are in fact trying to bypass their servers) still totes the "it's expected behavior" line from the server engineers.
    I have implored him to follow up with the iOS MobileMail app programmers and not the iCloud programmers. I am hopeful he will. Until then you have to choose between having iCloud push and losing your online identity, or losing push email and keeping your preferred address.
    Fun to try: turn off all smtp servers. Send email. Gets stuck in outbox. Turn on your preferred smtp server. That one email will use your preferred alternate address, but subsequent ones revert back to the old .me.com smtp servers. Personally I believe this points to a client programming error more than reinstating a preferred behavior. Aggravating!
    I spend $500 on a new phone. Google takes away my exchange client ability and apple makes me choose push email vs outgoing email address.

  • HT4864 Missing emails with iCloud

    I suspect iCloud is editing out my email.  Does iCloud have spam filters?  I got a internet fax service a short time ago and I found I get some email/faxes from the service but not others.  Emails are addressed from [email protected] and I have checked my computers junk box in mac's mail program. The Fax service told me their sending them but my server is filter them out as spam.  The say I need to get the email sender on a "white list".  
    Does any one know how to get in touch with the icloud server or whoever the emails go through?

    I've seen some posts this morning indicating that there may be a problem with the iCloud mail server right now.   Try again later.

  • HT5621 My ipad recognizes and old email address for icloud.  When I go to change the address it sends me an email verification email that says click the link THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EMAIL!!   How do I get this changed?

    I cannot get my icloud email address changed, but I no longer have that email address.  So it is sending an email to an address that no longer exists, yet I cannot get it to change to my current email address.  WHen I walk through the process, it sends me an "verificaiton email" that DOES NOT have the link in it to verify.  UGH

    Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT4864 Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

    Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

    iCloud mail handles only its own emails - you can't collect mail from other accounts as you could with MobileMe - so all you can do is set up forwarding from other accounts to iCloud. However you can only use the iCloud address as the 'From' address when using its outgoing server, so when you are using your Mac or iPhone you are better off setting up other accounts separately in the Mail app. Only when using iCloud webmail will this then be an issue.
