If I delete an email on my new I phone, it also deletes the email on my computer. I use Yahoo mail.
On my old Blackberry Storm, when deleting an email, I got the choice, "delete on handheld only", and the email only deleted on my phone, not my computer also. However, with my new I phone 5, when I delete an email I only get the choice of "delete" or "cancel", and if I delete, it also deletes the email on my Yahoo server on my PC.
My Yahoo settings seem to be limited, and is and has been set for "Access Yahoo mail via POP.. The only other option on Yahoo is "forward email" to another address.
I was on the phone with Apple last night for 90 minutes trying various things, and nothing worked. If you know how to fix or reset this feature either on the I phone or on Yahoo, I am all ears! Im really astounded that there isnt an easy Apple fix to this.....or maybe there is?
Thank you.
You probably have a POP3 email account. That's the way POP works. If you want to sync you must use an IMAP account and setup. Not all ISPs offer IMAP, so you may be stuck.

I'm trying to create a new apple-id but when typing the email adress I want to use I'm told that the particular email adress is not allowed When searching I can't find same being used anywhere. How do I find out where that particular email adress is used so I can delete it there and use it for my new apple-id?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -
I have iphone 4 , updated to iOS 7 and had to reset phone, lost many contacts. Fixed a duplication problem on contacts. Now the problem is with email, I have a cox account, icloud account. I can send myself a test message and I always get it on the phone. I do not consistently obtain other emails, yet all the emails show up on my home computer. Do I have my settings messed up?
OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish! -

have a question I do not use mail in my computer I use yahoo and I have all these emails and selected all and then delete then delete trash and they always come back how do I stop these old email in apple mail? I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
<Edited by Host>I am soooooooooooo confused now. Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
Neither of the above are Apple's products. -
I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone has hacked my iCloud account?
Hello Corinne Craven,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
Appleid.apple.com
If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.
Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
Take care,

I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?
If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account. The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days. When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

Im having trouble sending messages from my iPhone 4..ever since i upgraded to iOS 5, its giving me this problem. It says your SMS mailbox is full. Delete some messages to recieve new messages.
I've deleted around 10 huge conversations, rebooted it, restored it, done a soft and hard reset too. What should i do?my boyfriend restored his iphone as a brand new phone and still had this problem, he deleted all his text conversations except mine and his best friend's conversations still nothing, i told him to delete OUR conversation since its a 2 year conversation that he has NEVER deleted ..... he said YES!! we tried to delete it and the phone freezes as soon as we click on the CLEAR CONVERSATION button!!!! we tried about 5 times and this happened everytime we tried!!!! ....is like the phone doesnt wanna let go of our conversation!!! every other conversation he deleted the phone was fine except for when we try and delete ours!!
so yesterday he left his phone alone around 4 pm since we have the apple appointment today at 130pm.......around 11 pm last night his phone went NUTS receiving all the text messages i had sent and never received!!!! and now the phone works just fine!!! ...... CONFUSED?????? yeah we are too!!!
but we're still going to the apple store to see what they can tell us!!! -
Hi,
Just got an iphone 5S today. Now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer - which I don't want happening............any thoughts?
Thanks.Assuming that Chris is correct, you can set up the account on the phone as a POP3 account. This will allow you to delete mail from the phone without deleting it from the server, but it also means that you will have to delete mail from the phone separately, so you will have to delete mail twice, once from the phone and once from your computer.
If you want to do that see: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account -
this message keeps coming up each time we try to log in to our email. In order to use Yahoo Mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings » Safari » Private Browsing, and turn it off"
I have gone to settings but you cannot turn off the private browsing anywhere
can someone help,us out?
thanksYou turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

How to use Yahoo Mail to send email using email links on webpages
When I'm on a webpage that has a link to send an email, I cut and paste the the email address (which is the link) and paste it into my Yahoo Mail address bar. However, some webpages don't show the email address as a link. Instead, the link might be "write me" or "send mail", so I can't cut and paste an address.
If I click on an email link, a window pops up that says "Welcome to Mail" and it states that the assistant will guide me through the steps to configure my email account. To get started, this assistant requires a password that I don't possess.
So I'm stuck not being able to access an email application that I don't want to use in the first place.
Is there a way to set up my computer so that I could click an email link on a webpage and have Yahoo Mail pop up?
If not, is there at least a way to send an email using an email link that doesn't show the email address, without using (what I assume to be) the Apple mail Application? If it is necessary, how do I recover the password for the mail assistant? I'm not aware of ever having used or set up a password before.
THANK YOUIf you don't want Mail to open, don't click on the app. If it's opening at login, right click its Dock icon>Option>de-select Open at Login.

I try to find something on my iPad, many results are emails, when I push on an email I can't see the email, because I get ever the first email,or the previous selected email in my inbox. How can I see the email selected?
Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

When I send emails using my iPad, some recipients are telling me that I am sending them blank emails. I've had some of them forward the emails back to me so I can take a look and it seems that my message is actually there but the text is white. Interestingly enough, I was a Windows user just a few months ago and I was on the receiving end of this same problem with someone who was sending emails from her iPhone. I don't believe it is happening every time but if it happens even once it's a problem. Any idea what's going on?
Oddly enough, having reported the problem it appears to have fixed itself. There may be some combination swipe gesture that triggers it is all I can think because I suddenly manged to zoom my display x3 by double tapping three fingers. Took me a while to sort this out but then when I got back home I could suddenly see all my emails again. Bizarre!

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme. At the moment i have 2 personal email address being sent to my mail but because of receiving huge numbers of work emails it would be good to keep them seperate, what is the best way of doing this?
if i use the one mail programme can it separate the incoming mail from the different email accounts into 2 folders without me having to do it manually?
Yes, you can. Nearly all email software can do this. It involves creating two folders and a Rule for each folder.
Maybe call one folder Personal Mail, the other Work Mail (Apple Mail calls folders Mailboxes). One Rule would route all mail from your personal email account into the Personal Mail folder; the other Rule would route all mail from your work email account into the Work Mail folder. It's actually easy to do, all you have to do is click a few things and the rule is set up. Once the Rule is written you can also apply it to existing messages already downloaded to your Mac.
In Apple Mail, Rules are under Preferences > Rules. Follow the prompts to create a rule like this:
If = Any
Account = my Personal account (select the name of your personal email account)
Perform the following actions: Move Message to Mailbox = my Personal Mail (select the name of your Personal Mail folder (aka mailbox))
This rule says, "take any message that comes in from my Personal Account and move it to my Personal Mail mailbox (folder)"
Create a similar rule for your Work email.
