I am setting up my email account and find that I have 22,000 unread emails on my iphone,how do I get rid of them

I am setting up my e-mail acount on my new iphone 4s and find that I have 22,000 unread emails that don't exist on my ntlworld a/c on my macbook.Can anyone help me to get rid of them?

Can you clarify whether this is a POP or IMAP account? I suspect it is POP (and that messages have never been deleted off the server for the life of the account) but I'd like to make sure that is the case.

    You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

    My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it  has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

    It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

    HI,
    You can create and add another Screen Name to iChat.
    From iChat 4 you can have as many AIM Logins and Jabber Logins as you want.
    "AIM" in this case includes the Apple IDs (@mac.com and @me.com ending names) that also work as Valid AIM Screen Names as well as AIM registered Names.
    "Jabber Names" includes using Google Mail IDs and Facebook IDs as well as any registration with any other Jabber server.
    If you are not happy with the one you have you can delete and stop using it.
    Both Adding and Deleting are done in iChat > Preferences> Accounts.
    Highlight an Account/Name and then the minus button to delete.
    Using the Plus button show you the Add Screen.

    I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted.  How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • TS4147 I updated my iphone yesterday.  I have the 4S.  I have my daughters and mine contacts now.  I don't want hers.  How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

    I updated my iphone yesterday.  I have the 4S.  I have my daughters and mine contacts now.  I don't want hers.  How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

    This happens with you are both syncing data such as contacts on your devices with the same iCloud account.  This will result in the data being merged and synced back to all connected devices.  To correct this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.
    To do this, on the device that will be changing iCloud accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud, so the other phone won't be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different ID, then turn data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.  At this point you will have two separate iCloud accounts on each phone with identical data.
    Next, you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the unwanted data (for example, deleting her contacts from your iCloud account and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each device and things should now be fixed.
