ICloud deletes emails, often while I'm reading them.

The past few days, iCloud's been eating my emails. Sometimes they won't go through at all, but often they appear and then suddenly vanish. For example, today in my inbox I saw that I had a Happy Birthday email from Qdoba. When I went to open it, it suddenly disappeared. Likewise, an email I was reading from my grandmother suddenly vanished about 5 minutes after I opened it. It's not in my spam, trash, archive, or any other folder. Anyone have any ideas?

Interesting, I've had that happening to me, only it's not icloud email. It's from GoDaddy, an ISP that provides email service and more. Just this morning I check email on my mac's email client, saw a new email from GoDaddy and within a second or two, it just disappeared. This has not happening to me with Apple's icloud email, but it has been happening from time to time on other services, even my work email in addition to GoDaddy.
I suspect there's more here than meets the eye.

Does icloud delete email on all devices

Does icloud delete email on all devices?

iCloud doesn't. Whether or not this happens depends on the type of email account you are using. If you are using an IMAP email account such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo, or an Exchange email account, when you delete an email (or read one or move it to a folder) on one device you will see these changes on your other devices. If, on the other hand, you are using a POP/POP3 email account, you won't see these changes on your other devices.

Can icloud delete email from non-apple email accounts?

Just wondering if there is any way that icloud would be able to delete emails en masse from a non-apple/me/cloud email account. I seem to have no email prior to May 1 on an IMAP email account I have hosted elsewhere. Using Lion (of course) and the most current version of the Mail app and am referring to incoming email only.
Thanks!
Chris

"External" email accounts (e.g. google, yahoo, etc.) have no connection with iCloud. You set up accounts for these email services in the mail program and can do the usual things with them (view emails, move to folders, delete, etc.) but they are in now way related to iCloud.

My email keep deleting before i can read them have lost some very important emails today before i could read them

lost most of my important e mails this morning had a total of 21 new emails only managed to read a few when they suddenly disappeared they are not in my deleted folder or any other i can see

What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

I sometimes have over 1000 junk emails clogging my phone. I would like to know if there is a way to 'select all' in order to delete them. Deleting emails often takes me ungodly time.

Please let me know if there is a way to select all emails and delete them. Selecting, scrolling, selecting and scrolling is tedious when you have 1000-2000 junk emails to wade through.

At the top of this page, click your name, where yours says "Welcome, linda166":
Click the link "Manage email notifications":
Click the checkbox at the upper right - to the right of where it says "Date" - this selects all of the messages on the page:
Click the button "Remove selected notifications":
Click "Next" and repeat for each page. You may have less than 213 pages.

I can see my emails but I can't read them. I cannot see what's in my trash or drafts either

This is a firefox problem, how can it be fixed? I can read my emails with other search engines.

Which mail site do you use, for example, Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

I am new to iPad. I would like to delete emails on my ipad but keep them in my mailbox. I have tried everything, but if I delete on my ipad 2 it deletes on my computer. Please could someone help me?

I am new to iPad and have an iPad 2. I would like to delete my emails on my iPad but not on my mailbox, but every time I delete an email on my iPad 2 it disappears off my desktop. I have tried everything that I can think of but cannot find a way of stopping this. Can anyone please help me?

OP = Original Poster (You)
If you have a POP account, you'd see the Advanced button at the bottom of the window that opens as per the above. It's all the way at the bottom, so you'd need to scroll down. If it's not at the bottom, you may have IMAP, as per igm's post.
I am not familiar with IMAP, but it sounds like the Delete from server "Never" is not an option for IMAP.....
Anyone else to shed light on this for IMAP??

When I restored my iphone 4 all my deleted emails were back. like 4000 of them. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks

I recently restored my iphone 4 when it froze up and when the restore was done, I had over 4000 emails in my inbox. All my deleted messages came back. How do I stop that from happening? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

You have POP mail account. That's how those types of email accounts work.
You want an IMAP type of account, where if you delete on phone, it will also delete on server. Should you ever restore your device again it will only update the mail that hasn't been deleted.
You didn't say which email service you use, but try contacting them to see if they offer IMAP. Or you can switch.

Sometimes when I want to delete emails iPad wants only to archive them. What is the difference? If they are archived, where are they?

I really want to get rid of them. How do you get rid of archived mail? If they are archived, how do you retreive them?

I assume that you have a gmail account, in which case you have the choice on the iPad via the account's settings (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars) as to whether to archive (via the filing cabinet icon) or to delete them (via a trashcan icon) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4207 . There is info about gmail archiving here.

I can't get me emails back after I have read them

I have an email account in my mail on my iPad. Every time I read my email the email then disappears from my inbox. How do I keep them in the inbox like my iPhone.

Check your mail settings. You probably have inadvertently created a rule or changed a setting that makes it so that read emails go to the trash folder

My Email Inbox List of emails ,overlap ,so I cant read them

The Display of my Inbox page shows the list of Emails overlaping ,so they cannot be read. This does not happen with Internet Explorer.

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

If my desktop email is open iCloud picks and chooses emails to delete before I even read them

my emails are disappearing and it's driving me nuts. i hear the bing that i have email but when i go to check and open it it'll automatically be deleted and i can't figure out why. this never happened on mobile me and seems to be a new thing because of icloud. currently wishing i'd never switched.

I have exactly the same problem, i can send/receive fine and can view my emails, expect once i've read them on my pc using outlook and then go on my iphone it deletes the ones that outlook has downloaded...any1 know how to fix this??
yeah, use IMAP instead of POP3. you have your outlook set to remove the messages from the server after you check them. when you later try to look at the emails on the iphone they will no longer be there because your outlook removed them from the server.

Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
Thanks

You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

HTC rhyme automatically deletes emails in my inbox after 3 days...

When I get emails in my inboxes and read them and don't delete them, I intend to keep them until I want to delete them. However, all emails automatically get deleted after 3 days. I've looked through all the settings and I can't figure out how to fix it so that only I can delete them-they can't be automatically deleted. Does someone know how to fix this?? Thanks in advance!

We need more information from you on what you are using. What type of email account (Outlook, GMail, Yahoo, etc.) is it that you have questions about? Which email app are you using to check your email? It doesn't sound like you are using an app from the Play Store, so I will answer assuming that you are using stock apps (ones that came on the phone out of the box). I don't have the Rhyme, but I have other HTC phones.
For an Exchange account, go into the email app>menu>settings>sync, send & receive>sync settings>download past email. This defaults to 3 days. You can change it to time periods varying from 1-30 days and "All", which is what it sounds like you would prefer.
For GMail, go into the GMail app>menu>settings>select your email address>data usage>days of mail to sync and choose the number of days that you want to sync.
The settings will depend on your answers to the questions in my first paragraph. Let us know if you have more questions or are using a different type of email on your phone.

TS4083 Can anyone tell me why my emails keep disappearing from my iPad after I read them? They are still on my laptop but not on my iPad. Would be eternally grateful if anyone can help.

Can anyone help!! I keep losing emails from my iPad after reading them although they still appear on my laptop. Does anyone know why?

Are you using Apple Mail? Gmail App? Are you using a personal address "@me.com"?
To give you a generalized answer. If your using a Pop Server (You have emails downloaded to each individual device via pop.emailprovider.com) in Apple Mail. Its possible that you have a setting causing emails to delete from your device, not the server where your emails are stored. If you can view your emails on more than one computer, then the emails are stored on your server. My recommendation would be to use an IMAP server setup if possible.
If you could answer some of my questions, I would be happy to help you more. It appears to be an issue with the device deleting local emails downloaded to it, rather than the emails deleting server side.

ICloud deletes emails, often while I'm reading them.
