ICloud set up deleted all emails in Entourage

When I set up iCloud, everything in my Entourage was deleted, including emails, contacts, calendar... I had my contacts and calendar synced with the corresponding Apple programs, so they are showing up in my iCloud (tho it appears some of my calendar entries did not transfer). However, my emails have completely disappeared! Any suggestions to get them back? Unfortunately, my Time Machine was not configured (stupid, I know.... I'm a tech idiot and the Apple store One on One set up help apparently didn't think it necessary to mention/set that up... now I know too late). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help...

Warning to anyone moving their .mac account to iCloud. DON'T. I did it and have just discovered it has wiped every email I ever sent or received from my .mac account because it defaults to delete them after one month. Not something apple tell you in their iCloud promotional literature. When the iCloud icon appears in your mail preferences make sure you set it to delete 'Sent', 'Trash' and 'Junk' never otherwise in the words of the mac engineer I spoke to 'it's all wiped...'
And this is (of course) incorrect, iCloud does not delete your mail after a month.

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

  • I want to delete all emails.

    I have set my emails to remove after one day. They never leave.

    If the account is an IMAP account, delete all email received from this person with the email client on your computer used for accessing the account, or via webmail access for the account using a browser.
    There is nothing that can prevent receiving an email. If an IMAP account, you can create a rule with the email client on your computer to delete all email received from the email address.

  • How do you "delete all" email on iPhone 4S?

    How do you "delete all" email on iPhone 4S?

    There is no delete all option, unless you want to remove the email account, but I doubt that is what you are seeking.

  • How do I delete ALL emails on Droid Turbo (pop3)?

    I have a Droid Turbo, and love it. But I cannot figure out how to mass delete (all) emails from the phone. I use Pop3 to my email.
    I know you can swipe individual emails to delete or press and hold on an email to select, then do the same individually to many and then delete, but I cannot find a "delete all" option like my previous Droid Maxx. Because I haven't been able to keep up with it, I have over 999 emails sitting in there with no way at the moment to delete them all unless I spend a few hours deleting each one, one by one.
    Any help here?
    Thanks.

    That is extremely disappointing. If I delete the account from my phone, will it delete all the messages that way? I might have to find a way to delete and re-add the mail into the phone as the current amount of messages is a large bloat to the phone.
    Also, where do I suggest this "delete all" be added to the phone? This was on the Droid Maxx and previous versions. It is odd they would remove an option that could cause extreme bloat.

  • How to delete all emails in inbox on ipad

    How do I delete all emails at once in the ipad inbox

    You actually can:
    it took me weeks of research to figure out finally how to decode this yet another secretive secrets of apple. there is a perfect way of deleting ALL emails at once without jailbreaking your iphone or ipad...and here it is:
    Open Inbox>>EDIT >> check/select the top message, it will highlight the move button >>press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier >> lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad). iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. remember this will replicate your action on the server so u will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad.
    once you have moved all messages to trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and click edit. the delete all button shows up at the bottom of the screen. hit it! you r done!
    if you do not see effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled Your email accounts for such actions.
    tips:
    1. please give enough time (could take upto several minutes depending the number of emails to be moved) for the emails to be selected for the move. your screen will become unresponsive while all emails are being packaged. once emails are ready, in ipad, you will see them zoomed out on the right hand side of the screen, and in iphone you will see the message showing you the actual number of messages that have been selected.
    2. avoid purging very large number of emails, the mail app might freeze or crash. if your inbox has thousands of emails change your sync settings in mail settings to fill lesser number of emails in you inbox

  • Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

    Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
    This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
    It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
    I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

  • How do I delete all email messages in just one touch (delete all feature)?

    Does anyone know how to perform a "delete all" in order to delete all email messages rather than going through each message one at a time to move from the inbox to the trash folder, then delete from the trash folder permanently?  Currently, we seem to be able to only select one message at a time, rather than perform "Delete All".
    I read in a forum post about the "Delete All" button being available only when pressing Edit in the Trash folder.  Could someone please provide the sequence of steps to successfully delete all messages in one step?  Thanks.
    John Bottiger

    It is not possible other than as described by yourself - singly to the Trash folder and then collectively from there if you so wish.

  • How does one delete all emails in iOS 8?

    Since there isn't an option to mark all for deletion, I am tired of checking or swiping each individual email to delete.  I tried the technique of marking all read, checking one email, press/hold move button while unchecking, moving what appears to be all my mail selected and watching it slide to the trash; but when I check trash to delete all from there, it's empty and all the mail is back where it was.  HELP!  Am I missing something (I am an iPhone newbie but not a techie neophyte) or did something this simple get overlooked?

    There is no option/settings on the iphone to delete all email message.  You would need to go to edit - then select the emails you want to delete.
    if you have an imap email account, you can do a mass delete on your computer and it will reflect on your iphone.
