Imap email deletion on E61i

I've just got my new E61i, and it's working rather nicely.
However i have a strange problem. When i delete an email from my Imap inbox (using my PC), it does not get deleted on my e61i.
The only time this happens is when i delete an email on my e61i, then it seems to wake up and delete all of the other emails which have already been removed from my imap inbox.
Is this normal?

As far as I know, the emails in the inbox of E61i would not be deleted remotely. So it has to be done locally in the device.
It means that when you delete the emails on the PC inbox, the emails would remains in the E61i until next mail update.
But if you deleted the emails from your device, you can choose whether you would delete only on device or also delete it from the server.
I did not really understand about your second message, which is removed from your imap inbox. It should not happen, on my opinion.

IMAP email deleted on desktop remains in iPhone inbox

Seems like people are seeing a variety of email problems with the new iOS 4. I flipped through the first 6 pages or so of topics and did not see my particular issue.
I am using my university IMAP email service. If I read and delete email using the Apple Mail client on Mac OS 10.6.4, it still remains in my iPhone inbox, showing as unread. I am using iOS 4 on the iPhone 4. I also have an iPad, and using the same mail settings, the iPad inbox syncs fine with the IMAP server. On my previous iPhone 3G, everything worked fine. I did notice similar behavior with the 3G after my iOS 4 update, but I sold that phone soon after, so I wasn't able to test this fully.
I have tried killing the Mail background process, restarting the phone, hitting "load more messages" on my iPhone, refeshing in the inbox, deleting the mail account and re-entering manually, syncing the mail account from my Mac or entering the info manually on the phone. Nothing has resolved my issue.
Interestingly, I also use another IMAP client as well, from FastMail.fm, and I do not notice the problem here. Maybe the bug only manifests itself with certain mail server software.
Anyhow, it looks like another mail bug in the new iOS. Anybody else noticing a similar issue?

they are not blank emails, they just look blank. I just got hit by this yesterday accidentally clicked on am email sent 12/31/1969 and its been a bain. It vanished but later I found it lurking in my drafts folder of my 3G iPhone updated with 4.1OS. It changes dates when you try to delete it. And in one case, it changed its message to show the first line of javascript code. It's installing something or trying to. First line reads $(window).load(function() {2 3 initial... so I assume its starting some initialization process and that its malware.
I am using gmail. Computers seem fine, iPhone is weird. I changed passwords to something the iPhone wouldn't know. I did so on two different computers. And that seemed to stop everything. Ok, it stopped my phones email connection. Till I could figure this out. Or I thought. For last night when on the phone a call got interupted. I called back, no big deal, dropped call, but when I got off the phone I noticed I had an email. Something had come in. It arrived during the minute of that dropped call. It was a nice email announcing the birth of friends first child. Wonderful news. But it shouldn't have shown up on the phone.
Since then I've been to see the Apple Genius' bar, the drafts folder that would not delete, cleared itself out magically before I arrived at Apple, but I have pictures of it and that line of js in my camera. Due to the range of odd behaviors the OS has been reinstalled. Good. Then I restored my phone to a backup version. Fine. And now, with right password set up, it intermittently tells me it does not recognize the password and then try again and its all good and then its not. Some folders update with the time stamp, others don't. I can send but I have not received in the 50 minutes even tho I've sent myself test emails from other devices. Also noticed, I cannot deselect my drafts folder, nor that it is backed up on some other server. Is this normal?
What is this thing and how can I kill it?
But, whatever it is, its not blank, it just looks blank.
Open to suggestions / insights. Would prefer not to completely rebuild from scratch.

How do I make my mac delete imap emails deleted from another source.

A verbose question, I know. Allow me to explain. I seem to have a problem which prevents my imap emails in the maverics mail app from being arranged as they are on the server and other devices. This is to say, while my computer still recieves new mail, it will not arrange or delete my old mail as per the moves I had made with regard to this mail on another computer.

it's only possible with pop3 type email accounts not with imap and exchange
preference->account->click the account in question-Click advanced and set "remove copy from server after retreiving a message to what you wish it to be

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

How can I delete a junk folder I accidentally created in an IMAP email account

I need to know if anyone knows how to delete a junk folder. I created the folder by accident in a IMAP email account. It's empty and I don't need it . I don't want to delete the account and re- install it. Any ideas?

I don't have my iPad set to sync that email account. So my folders are not the same as my IPad. I didn't have the junk folder till I accidentally sent a email to the junk folder and the IPad created a junk folder for that email account. Now there isn't a way to remove the folder,even though it is empty.

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud. Apple suggested created a new Apple ID just for POP3. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete across multiple devises?

Have 1 POP3 email account I want to work like IMAP email in icloud (keeps my iMac, iPhone, ipad mail in sync). Apple suggested trying creating a new Apple ID just for that POP3 email. Has anyone tried this to see if it works and will delete/update across multiple devises? Would mean keeping up with two Apple ID accounts but only other alternative I know of is paying for monthly service for Microsoft 365.

would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them.

How to delete an IMAP email account before I give computer to relative?

I plan to give my G4 to a relative and am unable to delete my .Mac IMAP email account from this machine. I have gone to the Mail preferences panel under Accounts. Pressing the minus key apparently deletes this account, but when I restart the computer the account is back listing all messages in my inbox.
I have found a folder with a name beginning with IMAP followed by some version of my name (I don't recall exactly where this folder was). I deleted this folder, but my account is back after a restart.
I still use this email account on another computer that I plan to keep. Can someone tell me what else I have to do to get this active email account off of the machine I plan to give away?
dual 2.7 M G5 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not sure I understand what your problem is. Why don't you just wipe out the entire ~/Library/Mail folder and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file?
Actually, I don't understand why don't you do an Erase and Install of Mac OS X. Why are you concerned about your mail account only, and not about the rest of your data?

Deleting IMAP email accounts from iPhone

I can't delete an IMAP email account form my iPhone. I got to settings > Mail, Conatct, Calendars > select the email account but I don't get the option to delete. I can only switch off the mail. Other mail accounts such as Hotmail and iCloud give me the option to delete.
It's a secure server email account.
Any ideas?

settings < general < profiles
might be able to delete from there.

Deleting emails on imap email accounts

Hi
i have seven imap email accounts. On my macbook pro I have the usual folders, Inbox, Junk, Trash, Sent etc for each account. All accounts are on the same server.
When I receive a message to an Inbox and delete it, the message gets placed in the Trash folder ready for deletion.
Now I have replciated these accounts on my iPhone5 and checked that the above folders are named the same for each account. Howebver on the iPhone, when i delete a message, I am often getting the error message:
Unable to Move Message
This message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.
Can someone explain why I am getting these messasges, and more impiortantly, what I need to do to stop getting them and allow the iPhone to delete the message?
Thanks
Alex

Here is an item to check:
Look at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your account] > Account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox.
* Does "On My iPhone" on top say "Trash"?
* Under "On the Server" lower down, is "Trash" checked?
If either of these is not correct, what do you show instead?

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
Can anyone help me whith this?
I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
How can I solve this????
Thank u all...

I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

All my emails stored in my IMAP Email that were stored in my Thunderbird "Profile" are not loading in my Thunderbird Account.

All my emails that were stored in Thunderbird in IMAP don't not load into my Thunderbird Account anymore.
Although I do not use IMAP anymore, and have not used IMAP for the past 7 months (only use POP), all of my old IMAP Emails would automatically load in my Thunderbird Email Software. Several days ago all the IMAP emails not longer are there. I only get a message saying: "
"Alert from account harrison@---------com: full IMAP support is NOT enabled for this account"
My question is ... I haven't been using IMAP for the past 7 months, and everyday all my previously old emails from IMAP was stored in Thunderbird. Now they are gone. Can you help me retrieve my emails. Perhaps they're still saved in my Thunderbird IMAP Profile on my hard drive? ??? I need help retrieving them!! Please help,
Best Regards,
Harrison

Based on the information you provided it appears you had synchronization enabled for your IMAP account. Synchronization means Thunderbird downloads an offline copy of the messages on the server. That is probably the reason why you were able to access those messages until disaster struck.
I can only speculate what may have happened. The most likely scenario would be that for whatever reason Thunderbird did sync with the server. In your case that means to remove all messages from your local disk, because none were on the server anymore.
Just for the records, leaving messages in that IMAP account was extremely thoughtless. You should have moved all your messages off of the server prior to the 'Local Folders' account prior to canceling the IMAP account. In addition accumulation messages in Inbox for several years isn't best practice.
That obviously won't get your messages back. I guess there isn't much you can do, unless you do have a recent backup of your profile.
Have you checked the file Inbox underneath ImapMail/<account name>? That's were your messages are supposed to be. What's the size of the file? If you haven't compacted folders yet, the deleted messages may still be in there. You can open it with a text editor to check. Make sure to create a backup copy of that file before doing anything else.

How Do I Know If All Email Deleted is Really Deleted?

I use a mid 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks, Mail 7.3. How do I know if all email deleted is really deleted from my hard drive?

How deleted do you need it to be?
QuickTimeKirk says it may never have been stored on your Mac. This assumes your mail connection is via IMAP, which keeps the mail on the mail server.
If you were using POP connection for mail, then your mail would be stored in
Finder -> Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Mail
and
Finder -> Go -> Go to folder -> ~/Library/Mail Downloads
Any file deleted, will just have its name in the directory removed, and the storage given back to the file system to reuse at a future date. Until the file system gets around to reusing the storage, it will still have the contents of the email written on it.
If you are using System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault, then the deleted storage will just be encrypted random bits. Otherwise, it may be possible to recovery the email with the right specialized tools and enough time and money, right up until the storage is reused for another file (and even then with a lot more money and time, it may be possible to recover the email; when I say a lot more money, I really a whole bunch of money).
You can use Disk Utility to "Erase Free Space". This cause Disk Utility create a file, then grow that file until all the unused storage, including your deleted email are allocated to this file. The file is overwritten with an erase pattern, and then Disk Utility deletes the file, and now all the unused storage contains a random bunch of erase pattern bits in them.
If you are using an SSD (Solid State Disk), then due to the way SSD storage is managed, it is next to impossible to insure that the data is erased, and because SSD's have a limited number of writes before they start to fail, Disk Utility does no provide the Erase Free Space option, so as not to prematurely shorten the life of the SSD. With an SSD the only way to be sure something cannot be recovered is to keep the disk encrypted using System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault. And you would have had to do that BEFORE the email was written to the SSD, not after.
So, how deleted do you need it to be?

IMAP email - not updating back at the office

I've been using IMAP email and could always delete or move items around my folders on the iPhone and everything would be identical in Outlook. I could sit in front of outlook and see the items disappear or move as I manipulated them on the iPhone. Not the case since 2.0 update. I'm back to using expunge.exe command to process all the edits done on the iphone.
I know this was an issue in early iphones versions.. and then fixed in a later update.
I have exchange 2000 and can't use the new exchange mail.
Have I missed something? or did 2.0 revert back to the earlier problem?

HHaving the same issue here,im don't think you can roll back.
did it start after crashing while trying to send an email with multiple attachments?

Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

I'm having the same issue, but slightly different - since upgrading to Mountain Lion the Inbox folder doesn't come across. If I right-click on the account and select "Get Account Info", the 'Inbox' folder does not appear in the Mailbox list. I've got a support email into GoDaddy but haven't heard from them yet.
Hey - sorry - I just realized this is an iPhone discussion group. Can't figure out how to delete this post.
