I have a POP mail account on my Ipad. After I trash emails, they sometimes reappear latter that same day or the next day. Why is that and what can I do?

I have a POP mail account on my ipad. When I trash my emails, they reappear later that day or the next day. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and what to do to stop it? Thanks

I have that every now and then, especially if I have an interruption when using emails, like network loss, etc.
I think the email app loses track somehow of what emails it has fetched from the server and redownloads them.
If this continues, you can try deleting the email account and recreating it, but I occasionally have had this issue since I got the iPad 1 a year ago.
Note: My settings are Delete from server = Never.
(I clear the server's email with my laptop, not my iPad.)

I have 2 e-mail accounts on my Ipad, one personal and one business, how do I navigate to send e-mails from the correct address?

I have 2 e-mail acccounts on my Ipad, one personal, one business, how do I send from the correct
address? At this point it does not give me an option.

You can set a default email address here:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > underthe Mail section - Default Account.
Any email you start will use this account by default but you can change this manuall by tapping the email address in the From field. That whill bring up a dial to select the email address you want to send from.

Can I have two yahoo mail accounts on my iPad but only have one account push and the other fetch or manuel?

I have two yahoo email accounts but I want my main one to push email and the other one to be manuel or even fetch, is this doable?

You don't know what push means.
Push means new messages received at the incoming mail server are pushed out by the incoming mail server without the email client being used to access the account having to check the account automatically or manually which is called fetch. An account can be checked automatically without having to open the Mail app which is not push.
Manual with the Mail app on an iOS device is not the same as manual with an email client on your computer.
If you launch the Mail app, all email accounts will be checked for new messages even when manual is selected for an account. If manual is selected for an account, it should not be checked for new messages until to launch the Mail app.

I keep recieving notifications that my e-mails could not be delivered, e-mails however that I had never sent in the first place!!!Why is this and what can I do

I keep getting notifications that my e-mails (which I never sent!!) could not be delivered to recipients unknown to me. I can find no trace of them in my "messages sent" file, despite of the fact that I have the option of keeping copies of sent messages set "on". What can I do to find out what is going on and to overcome this annoyance -and perhaps peril-?

Wikipedia write much better than I do.

I have 2 different mail accounts on my iPad how do I set up passwords for each of them

Can someone help me with my problem

You cannot password protect email accounts on the iPad. the iPad was designed as a single user device. You cannot have multiple accounts or password protect apps on the iPad.

I am being told that I need more storage after I have downloaded all my pictures onto my computer? Why is this and what can I do to fox it?

I have downloaded all my photos and am unable to upgrade my software as it tells me I dont have enough storage - what should I do?

Delet more content from your iphone or update via itunes on your computer.

I have an IMac G5 (ALS). It is running 10.4.11. Can I update the software to run google chrome and what can I update it to.

What can I update this to and where can I get the software from?

Google Chrome only runs on Intel based Macs.
PPC based Macs like the G5 can only be upgraded to run Leopard 10.5.8. Apple no longer supply it, so look in Amazon or eBay for a black retail install disk. Don't be surprised if you see a pricetag of around $200.

Pop mail account and duplicates on mail.ap

Hi,
Mail is duplicating messages, I have a pop mail account and the preference setting is to erase messages on the server.
Some duplicates are from Nov 2006; after I erased all messages using the terminal and ssh connection.
I was told to rebuild mail index and did it, no improvement.
.......... any help appreciated, I have invested many hours into erasing duplicates ... thanks, Garrett
Why don't you try rebuilding your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When that's done, any duplicates or ghost messages should be gone..

Sorry, both at once is confusing in retrospect.
Just meant backup the whole works and drag the current cache & envelope out of their locations to the desktop.
What about the plist?
You can make a Copy of that to move to the Desktop. Sometimes that needs to be made anew also, but requires putting in account info and such, so we generally wait on that one.
What about the files on the desk top?
If everything works right, we can trash them, if nit we can mive them back.
I'm not sure from these ideas what might be the result or why there is a problem in the first place.
Same here, but those files can become corrupt.

Managing pop mail account on iPhone

I have a pop mail account on my PC with my ISP. I've added it to my iPhone so that I can remotely check mail. But I have only 3 folders - Inbox, Sent and Trash. I would like to add a folder to save messages rather than save them in the inbox. I don't seem to be able to do this. Even syncing my account doesn't work in this respect.
Is there a way to do this? It seems like a fairly standard thing...

I think what you mean is that you cannot have an email POP account on a laptop and on iphone look for the same messages on the incoming server.
I mean exactly what I provided. A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. When a POP account is accessed with more than email client, the setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded needs to be off with both email clients used to access the account.
And if accessed with more than one email client, you cannot have both email clients actively accessing the incoming mail server for new messages at or near the same time. If one email client checks the incoming mail server for new messages followed by another email client doing the same at or near the same time, the incoming mail server will lock the account's Inbox mailbox preventing the 2nd email client from accessing the account's Inbox mailbox and downloading new messages if any are available. This is a temporary lock and is due to a POP account being designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
The same does not apply to an IMAP account which is designed to be accessed with more than one email client with multiple email clients being able to access server stored mailboxes at the same time.
Please answer my question which was copied from my previous post and was provided first.
*Since this is a POP account, what is your account setting with Outlook for removing messages from the server when downloaded?*

Second day in a row Safari is not working. It says "service temporarily unavailable ". I have had my iPad for 7 months. This has never happened before and now two days in a row! What can I do?

Safari on my iPad says service temporarily unavailable. This has now happened two days in a row. What can I do to correct this? It has never happened before in 7 months of owning my iPad. I bought a wireless Logitech keyboard, but that should not affect Safari? It worked earlier in the day yesterday with then keyboard.

Also if I ever have to reboot again, is there some way to save the apps I have on my iPad? I did choose the option to back up prior to restarting, but apps had to be manually re-entered?
This has me confused. Rebooting the iPad (holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen) should not in any way, shape or form, remove content from the iPad.
Then you stated that you chose the option to back up before restarting? There is no option to backup before "restarting" on the iPad. Are you restoring the device in iTunes?

I would like to change my POP mail account to an IMAP account but Maverick is making it difficult. Anyone have any ideas?

I have tried to create a new account but the latest version of Mac Mail attempts to help you. Since I already have a POP account with my carrier, each time I try to create a new account mail assumes I want a new POP account and creates that type of account. It does not give me the opportunity to input the options I want.

How can I convert a POP mail account to an IMAP account?

I have an existing Mail account set up with a POP incoming server. How can I retain the email address but convert to using an IMAP incoming server (the ISP offers both)?

Even when the account is disabled ("enable . . ." is unchecked) the "Account Type" remains frozen and not available for changes. I also tried, with the account disabled, to make the switch by changing the designation of the incoming mail server from"pop.ISP. . ." This didn't change the Account Type -- it remained POP.

Using a POP mail account in mac mail

My friend has an AT&T sbcglobal POP mail account he has added to his mac mail app. Since it is POP mail it is not always received in his mac mail box if AT&T Yahoo account receives it first. I guess he can prevent the Yahoo mail box from downloading the messages if he signs out of the Yahoo account.But he also has an iPhone. So will he still have the race problem between the computer & the iPhone on which gets the mail first?
Appreciate any suggestions on how this can be solved?

For POP:
The following mail server settings will work with all AT&T email domains: @ameritech.net, @att.net, @bellsouth.net, @flash.net, @nvbell.net, @pacbell.net, @prodigy.net, @sbcglobal.net, @snet.net, @swbell.net, @wans.net.
Email Program Settings Field:
Enter:
Incoming (POP)
inbound.att.net
Outgoing (SMTP)
outbound.att.net(requires authentication)
Incoming mail server:
POP3
Incoming/Outgoing User Name:
Full AT&T email address, including domain (e.g., [email protected], [email protected])
Incoming mail port #:
995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #
465, secure connection (SSL) checked
I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

Could someone PLEASE tell me how to set up more than one POP mail account.

I am soooo frustrated. Before I upgraded to Tiger I had no problems setting up my mail accounts. Now, I can only set up one POP mail account. I have three mail accounts that I desperately need to set up from the same ISP server, all POP accounts. On Panther and earlier, all I had to do was add the accounts. Now I have ONE POP account and when I try to set up another I get an error message that I already have a POP account set up. Why is this happening and what happened to the old system that worked just fine. I am so annoyed with this. It simply defies logic!!!!

I don't know if this will work or not, but why don't you try using bogus pop and/or smtp server information when you initially establish the accounts with Mail's setup wizard? Just continue through the "warning: cannot validate server" messages that the wizard will give you. Then go into Mail > preferences > accounts and highlight each of the new accounts, one at a time, and try changing the incoming pop and outgoing smtp mail server information to what it is supposed to be?
For the "Outgoing" server just use the pull-down menu, to select it, and when all accounts are done, go into that same pull-down menu and choose "Edit Server List..." to remove the bogus smtp server information.
Incoming should be just renaming that pop server in the "Incoming server" field.
If that doesn't work, I've got something riskier you could try, again with no guarantees, and that is editing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file using either the Property List Editor that comes with XCode Tools (will launch automagically when you click on that .plist file if XCode is installed) or with the pico editor in Terminal, and possibly renaming some folders in your ~/Library/Mail folder, too. Again, start with the bogus server info, then find those entries in the .plist file and make changes there.
Note: if not familiar with the notation, "~" means your "home" directory.

Why POP Mail Account on Iphone not synching for incoming mails

I just setup my iphone mail account as a POP client to synch up with my corporate Outlook Mail.
For the outgoing mail server I used cwmx.com and for incoming I used the hostname provided by IT support person , with username and password as I would use on my outlook client.
No SSL used in our case.
The setting went fine as I did not see any errors,
but when I try to synch for new mails, it says checking and than says updated, but I don't see any mails coming in.
The send mail works fine from this account.
Can anyone help.
