I-Pad won't delete e-mails deleted on I-Mac

I want deleted messages from my I-Mac to be automatically deleted from my I-Pad.  How do I proceed?

It depends on your email provider. Who is your email with?
Go to your provider's webpage and look at the settings for Apple Mail and iOS.
If you are using the IMAP protocol, rather than POP, your emails should be sync'ed automatically, as long as the settings are correct.

  • Duplicate messages - mail won't delete

    I'm not sure if this is a mail problem only or if there is something else going on but I'll start here. I've got several messages in triplicate that won't delete from my POP account (the same problem occurs for single messages also). Messages appear to delete from "inbox", "trash" and "junk" but reappear when mail is reopened.
    I'm also having the same problem with itunes, I delete my library but when itunes is reopened songs in my library reappear. I have also tried to print my itunes library but get the message "The itunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full". When attempting to print from my X-Pad I get the message "Error while printing". Also another odd thing I've noticed is that my desktop "clock/calender" disappears after startup, I have to keep putting it back on. So far these are the only problems that I've noticed, these problems just occured yesterday.
    Help would be greatly appreciated, Thankyou

    Don't need the system memory or RAM.
    Are you sure your hard drive has only a 10GB capacity?
    Select your hard drive and use Get Info via the Finder. This will provide Capacity and Available information.
    If you have only a 10GB capacity hard drive (which is actually slightly less than advertised capacity which is the same for all hard drives), this is likely the cause of your problems.
    OS X makes generous use of Paging or Virtual Memory which uses available free hard drive space when utilized. I regularly use anywhere from 6-9GB of virtual memory without a lot of processor intense activity and I have 1GB of RAM.
    See Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space.
    A 10GB hard drive capacity may have been adequate for OS 9 but it isn't adequate for OS X unless you install OS X and applications only and store all data on an external hard drive.
    If you have a 10GB hard drive capacity, you should seriously consider purchasing a much larger hard drive if you plan on using this Mac for a while longer.

  • HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

  • Mail won't delete messages from Iphone unless I open Mail.

    I have an Exchange account set up and use MS Outlook at work.  I do receive my email via push on my Iphone 4s.  However, when I delete a message from my MS Outlook at work, it won't delete from my Iphone UNLESS I open up Mail.  Anyone else have this issue? 
    I did change the setting of pushing my delete items folder in the mail settings on my Iphone.  Still did nothing. 

    Mel,
    One more thing to check on your computer...iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>Account Information>iCloud>Refresh Calendars:>Push
    If that is not helpful, go through the procedures listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

  • HT2500 MAIL contents won't delete. What does a shadowy folder mean?

    I use GMAIL.com email accounts on MAIL. My Mail Activity is out of control. It's constantly running. Even though I delete messages off GMAIL.COM on the internet, I'm being flooded in MAIL with unwanted messages that I cannot delete. Under my MAILBOXES menu are these categories: RSS, ON MY MAC, GMAIL. When I open the GMAIL drop-down, I see a shadowed folder that contains several folders: All, Drafts, Important, Sent, Spam, Starred, Trash. The ALL folder contains 49,716 messages that won't delete. Many of those messages are exact duplicates except for the "time/date" on them. 1) Can I delete the shadowy folder that has become a nightmare to me without affecting my Inbox and normal drafts, sent and trash folders? HELP. I'm getting swallowed up by the MAIL monster.

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from the hard drive's location.

  • Won't delete old e-mails on Yahoo app

    In the past week my wife's Galaxy S III had an issue crop up with her Yahoo mail app. She had some old e-mails saved in a folder appear in her InBox. When you open them to look at the subject matter, it's blank except for the subject. Since it was blank she decided to delete it. After it has been deleted it reappears in the InBox after it has refreshed. She has about 6 old emails like this that won't delete, I even tried moving them back to their original folder and moving them to Spam, with the same outcome. It logged on to her account on our home computer and it shows everything is normal, none of those emails show in the inbox. It's like two separate accounts. I stopped by my local Verizon store and after 45 minutes to an hour the Rep. there gave up and suggested that I contact Verizon CS Level 2 support to see if they can help. They're my next stop, unless someone here has a solution.  

        Thanks for contacting the community forums, kscfire. I had a similar situation on my Android device. I was able to log into a computer to delete the email that kept showing  a subject but empty body.
    You can also clear the cache for the email http://bit.ly/UasC7T to see if that works. Once cleared, power off/on and check the email box again.
    Worst case scenario, remove the email app and reinstall it.

  • Running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird, but Tbird regularly goes "Not Rresponding; particularly when I try to delete something. All Mail won't delete at all.

    '''bold text'''Thunderbird crashes regularly when I try to delete email. ALL MAIL doesn't work at all and won't allow me to delete anything. I have gone to Properties many times and tried to repair ALL MAIL but it doesn't work.
    I was also unable to open and read any of your responses to previous questions that appear to be similar.
    I like many of the features of Thunderbird but am about ready to give up. Help, please.

    Is Thunderbird really crashing when you try to delete mail, or is it not responding?
    ''All Mail won't delete at all.''
    What exactly does this mean?
    Are you talking about Gmail? If so, do you have any clue what 'All Mail' is, and why it's a bad idea to delete something from 'All Mail'?

  • Apple Mail 4.5 won't delete 2 draft emails...

    I am new to the forums, and wasn't sure where to put this so please advise if there is a better location.
    I have looked all over the forum for this issue with no luck.
    Issue is this - have 2 emails in the drafts folder that just won't delete.
    Version info is 4.5 on OS X 10.6
    Have tried to delete it from webmail but cannot see it there
    Cannot drag and drop it
    And deleting just doesn't do anything at all - not even an error message.
    Email is housed on an exchange server
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sophie

    I took very long time to rebuild. When it's done, the drafts are still there.

  • Re: Email won't delete after 2.2 software update

    Nathan
    My email was set up this way already on my iPhone and it didn't fix the "won't delete" problem. Again the issue is that it worked fine in all of the previous versions of the iPhone software, but something has changed in 2.2 that won't allow deletes on the iPhone, even with .mac mail. What has changed?

    Try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if that don't work try double clicking your home button to open your multi-task window hold you finger on the first app until it start to wiggle and the red minus sign shows up in the left corner tap the red minus sign to close all of your open programs.

  • File name with symbols won't delete from trash.cache\trash\cache folder.

    found this weird file name with symbols (squares nad the like) in the trash.cache\trash\cache folder. Can't seem to delete it from windows, can't get at from the dos prompt. Windows safe mode won't delete it.
    Any suggestions as to what it is and how to get rid of it.
    At present am trying reinstall of firefox and virus scan.

    I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when
    I put in the disc that came with my mac and hold down
    C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
    fresh install.
    At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
    I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
    and for somereason the option to repair isnt
    highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
    repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
    anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
    can be repaired, but it wont let me.
    You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

  • HT1923 The sync function on my iPod Touch 3rd generation doesn't work properly.  My OS is up to date, but some of my podcasts won't transfer onto the iPod, and it won't delete ones I've already listened to.

    The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly.  It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • ITunes under Vista won't delete my songs

    Hey guys.
    I've recently updated to Windows Vista, and I'm running iTunes 7.3 with an iPod Nano.
    Previously on my XP machine (with some ancient iTunes, 7.1 maybe?) I was able to select a track in my library, and either hit the Delete key or right-click and select the Delete option. This would spawn a dialogue - do I want to keep the files, or move to recycle bin (or cancel)?
    Now under iTunes, when I delete a file, that dialogue is not there anymore, and deleting a file only removes it from the library view, rather than from my hard drive.
    As an added piece of information, I was able to upgrade a purchased song to iTunes Plus. When you do this, there's a dialogue of similar nature offering to move the old file to the recycle bin or to keep it. This dialogue appears, but when selecting recycle it does no such thing
    It's worth noting that all my music is in my iTunes Music folder, not anywhere else. I understand there can be a problem where if your music is not stored with iTunes, it won't delete the files. I don't believe this applies to my situation.
    I only really noticed this by happenstance, and now I have my music collection full of tracks I don't want anymore, but no effective way of getting them back in. Why is this?
    Well, that's peculiar thing #2. Previously I used to be able to just re-add my iTunes music folder, and iTunes would helpfully trawl through and add music in, ignoring tracks that already exist. It no longer does this - you can add the folder, but it creates a duplicate for each song that already exists. These duplicates are unrated with no previous play information - it's as if iTunes doesn't agree that they're the same track.
    I'm wondering if these problems are related - if iTunes in some way is able to play my previous library just fine, manage ratings and so on, but is in some way confused about whether they're actually in the iTunes folder. XP and Vista have different file paths (C:\Documents and Settings\ in XP, C:\Users\ in Vista)... would this have something to do with it? I suspect that there's a Junction (like a hard link, but in Windows) in place to redirect C:\Documents and Settings\ to C:\Users\, but this behaviour is not unversally supported cleanly.
    Is there a way of editing my library details to include the correct pathname if that's the problem?
    Man, sorry about the long post But it's really bugging me, and obviously I don't want to have to re-add and re-rate 22 days of music...

    Ok I think I fixed it
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 describes that you can gank the binary file, and re-import using the XML document.
    The trick is of course to:
    1. Close iTunes
    2. Gank the binary file
    3. Search and replace the music locations in the XML
    4. Start iTunes
    5. Import the XML file
    This works, but there are some caveats (need to resynch the iPod, etc.). But yay, my files are once again being deleted.

  • My e-mail is no longer being deleted off my mac mini when I delete from my iPad

    Question:
    I am working on Mac Mini with Yosemite and my iPad 4
    All stuff is up to date.
    All my e-mail accounts sync with each other and everything seems fine. But, when I delete my mail on my iPad it does not get deleted on my Mac Mini?
    It did before, but now it no longer is updating.
    Why?
    I'm I missing a setting?
    Advise would be very helpful.
    Thanks!

    Do this for BOTH devices:
    Go to settings, internet accounts, and then log out of mail. Then log back in.
    Maybe your email will sync with your devices.
