IMAP email not refreshing on iPhone4s

I use IMAP email for a secondary email account (Groupwise) both on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone4S. Recently the iPhone has done something odd:
It stopped displaying new mail on attempt to refresh. The only way I was able to solve the problem was by viewing "1000 most recent messages" via mail settings. I never had to do this in the past and if I revert to a lower number, say 50 most recent messagess, the mail client just shows me some arbitrary 50 messages from a few months back. I could search the server for recent mail manually as well.
I use the same IMAP settings on both the computer and the phone, with no problems on the computer.
Any ideas of what this could be?
Thanks in advance!

Yes - it does not.
I installed emoze just a two days ago on my E72 and since then I have been drowned in frustration. Not with emoze itself, but with the mess it has left me in with my homescreen and other apps.
The first hint at something going on was when my phone did not display the usual text notification on the homescreen when someone had texted me. I had to 'stumble' across it in my inbox.
Then, my gmail that was still running by itself, couldn't open either from the homescreen.
Uninstall emoze. Message notifications are back. Gmail is still messed up.
Uninstall gmail. Can't reinstall gmail.
Had to manually reinstall gmail as per IMAP settings provided here:

Yeah, skip emoze. E72 does not like it.

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.

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.

Why will IMAP email not send from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail even though it is configured the same as on my old Macbook (and emails are sending just fine on the old computer)?

I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...

email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.

IMAP email not appearing in Mail

Background: I have an IMAP email account that's over a decade old. It's going away soon so I'm trying to figure out how to get a complete local copy of all that email. There are a total of around 100 folders with anywhere from 5 to over 2000 emails in each folder.
The problem: there's email on the server that isn't showing up in Mail. For instance one folder (according to the webmail interface) has 771 messages. Mail says that folder has 700 messages. Looking at the webmail interface I can easily find several of the 71 emails that are not appearing in Mail. In Mail, if I select the folder and "Get Account Info" and look at the Quotas section, it lists the correct number of email messages (771). If I rebuild the folder, as it's being rebuilt the blue progress bar at the bottom left of Mail says there are 771 incoming messages. But when it's done, I can only see 700.
I just double checked on a second computer (MacBook Pro, also latest 10.7 version & Mail) and it's the same there, it only sees 700 messages.
Now, repeat this times the roughly 100 folders . . .
What's going on here? Why isn't Mail downloading or displaying these emails?

I just looked in the User/Library/Mail/V2 folder, and tracked down this folder. Digging down several levels into the files for this account and folder I found two sub-folders called "Messages" which contained a total of 774 (mostly) .emlx files. In three cases there were a pair of files with the same number, one with an .emlxpart extension and the other with a partial.emlx extension -- if I assume that pair corresponds to the same email, this it appears there are 771 messages on local disk. And Mail refuses to display 71 of them?
I'm doing a backup with MailSteward to see what it makes of these files.

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?

IPad email not refreshing

My new iPad has started to not refresh my email.
My email was refreshing with no problems for the first few days. Now when I refresh it shows it is downloading 1 of 25 messages but then it stops and says it is updated, with no new e-mails showing. I have tried again and again with no success.
Any help would be great!

- Have you tried the standard of resetting your iPad:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to delete the account and them recreate it on the ipad.

Comcast IMAP Email Not Syncing on MacBook Pro

I recently had my comcast pop account switched over to IMAP with their beta trial and it worked with my iPad and iPhone (I had it switched over before I got a MacBook) and now the emails won't sync form my Mac, just my iPhone and iPad (still). Any help as to why? I set up the same email account on my iPhone and iPad, but the emails don't sync. Don't tell me comcast doesn't support IMAP because they have a beta trial and it works perfectly between my iPad and iPhone. Thanks in advance!

OK I am really hoping to switch my Comcast POP3 to IMAP. My comcast account has never been on my ipad since I hate deleting a zillion emails in all places.
I found this link. You have to request to be migrated. You do so at the following link.
https://xcsignup.comcast.net/onboardingapps/imap
I have set up my ipad for my comcast account with settings as shown above using imap.... as the incoming mail server. Sending mail works fine. I assume once enough time has passed (been 5 mins at this point) my ipad will just start getting the comcast mail. I'll post if it works. For now its says the imap server is not responding.
I tricked mail into allowing me to set it up as IMAP by not using any comcast settings and then simply editied them.

IMAP email not syncing

hy
Yesterday I have upgraded my phone from 5s to 6
and I've encountered a strange problem. One of my imap email accounts
which sink completely with my iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1,
seems to not pay forward anything I commend for my iPhone meaning
though it downloads my email as usual, when I try to erase and email or have it sent to a folder it does not apply
soon I let the email account sync again it will download again all the emails I have erased or moved like I did nothing
has this ever happened to someone?

Go Daddy IMAP Email Not Functioning Properly. Do others have same issue?

Try as I might with my IMAP accounts on GoDaddy, I have been unable to experience the functionality I have expected from having IMAP email.
I use Apple Mail on MacBook Pro laptop and on my iPad for my IMAP email. When I delete emails in my inbox on one of The devices that action is not mirrored on the other device. The second devise shows that the email has been read.... But the email does not become deleted.
I have read on other forums that in fact this is a glitch on GoDaddy's end.
I have one IMAP email account with Host Gator, and it functions just as I expect it should on my two devices.
Can anyone comment? Or send a link with a solution? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm fully aware of how IMAP works, it helps to know a little when you administer your own server with many different domains on it. Mail v3 appears to do something to the mailboxes when it "Imports" them into the new version from the v2 mailboxes.
To put it simply, no new messages would download via IMAP at all, until the disk cache of all messages was removed.
Ernie Stamper wrote:
If that were the case, you would only need to use the Mail program and remove the accounts, and do nothing in the Finder. That would remove any traces of mailboxes on the Mac.
That is complete nonsense, it doesn't remove ever trace of the account, hence why removing the account and adding it again had no affect what so ever.
The mailboxes stored in the /Users/<username>/Library/Mail folder have to be trashed to get it to work, it is the only way.
I wasn't overly keen on re-downloading nearly 5000 email messages, many with large attachments, but I was more than happy to do so to enable me to get my Mail coming in again.
To be honest, I am not quite sure why you are arguing with me about this, it's easy enough to backup your POP accounts, and then restore them after you have finished.
And, if the idea is that rubbish, how come it has worked for so many people on that other thread, plus the starter of this one?
Point made.
Good evening.

IMAP emails not working on Wi-FI

We have recently bought Iphone 6's.
When trying to connect to IMAP accounts across any WI-FI the IMAP email accounts will not download to the phone.
I have deleted the accounts, and turned the phone off, and then re-added the account and still no joy. Reset Network Settings and that has not worked either.
As soon as the I turn off Wi-Fi the email connects via cellular connections and download fine.
I have an Exchange Accounts and these work just fine on both.
Please anyone have some advice or suggestions.

.mac mail and mail.app, IMAP, inbox not refreshing on web after delete

I am using mail.app with my .mac mail account. When i delete an email from the inbox it moves it to my trash in the mail.app program and takes it out of the inbox, which is normal. However, it does not do this when i open up my mail using the web. Here, the message is still in my inbox and it is also in the deleted messages folder.
So, i have searched everywhere for some answers on this but have found nothing. In trying to figure this out i realized that if i click on the trash within mail.app, the little clock refresh icon pops up, then if i click back onto the "inbox" icon it then gets the refresh clock icon. After this is done the .mac web page is correct, nothing in my inbox and it is still in my deleted.
The problem is I dont click on trash and the back to inbox everytime i use my mail.app program so when i leave the house and check my mail at work using the web everything i deleted the night before is still there.
Is this normal? is there an auto refresh? i have it set to check for new mail every 5 minutes but that doesnt seem to get the refresh thing to happen. I also have my .mac sync to sync mailboxes and settings.
any help with this is appreciated. I have searched google and many forums for the answer and have given up.
Thank you

You're welcome.
It does as the selection indicates. It automatically synchronizes changed mailboxes only after a change is made to a mailbox that is stored on the server. So when selecting a message for deletion in the account's Inbox mailbox and after the message is moved to the account's Trash mailbox which stored locally on the hard drive or on the server via Mail preferences, each changed server stored mailbox in Mail is automatically synchronized with the server at that time.

BT Yahoo email not refreshing properly

On my Firefox (v 22.0) when BT Yahoo mail automatically refreshes, it shows the number of new emails next to inbox but the section showing the subjects doesn't refresh.
The only way seems to be to click on another folder and click back on inbox again.
Anyone else having this problem?

I'm not too sure what is meant by "refreshing", but I'd like to know why my birthday reminders keep showing in my e mails, days after the event has passed. I keep editting to remove the reminder, and even deleting it, but ithey still reappear.
I just wish they had not changed to the new e mail format. The old one was much more efficient. I can't even send a complaint e mail to ask BT how to stop the event reminders.

IMAP email not checking until I open mail app

On my iPad 2 I have two email accounts, MobileMe and a personal domain. Iv noticed that the personal domain, set up using imap doesn't get mail until I open the app. MobileMe is fetching fine while the app is closed or locked.
I have it set to fetch and push. Any thoughts?

What have you got Fetch set to in Settings/Mail.../Fetch New Data/Fetch?
If you have Fetch New Data set to Push, then this is the setting that is used to determine the time between 'fetches' for accounts that don't use Push.

Why is push email not working ios5 iphone4

Ever since the upgrade the push email is really working sub-par. It had some times before, but now it barely ever pushes and I need to fetch.

Apparently nobody knows what is going on and when it's gonna be fixed....
