Ios 8.1.3 emails keep downloading to iphone

After updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 8.1.3 2 weeks ago my emails are continually being downloaded to my Mail even after they have been deleted from my PC email inbox. It's a POP 3 account and I'm not changing it to IMAP. There is no longer any limit to set on IOS to stop them. I've tried 'marking all as read' and deleting them but they reappear hours/days later. I've reinstalled the email account 5 days ago and that worked till now but suddenly they are all back again. This never happened on previous IOS versions and why the function was removed is beyond me! This is a common problem apparently but Apple don't seem to have a solution to it and its damned annoying! Anyone help?

I finally managed to restore the phone back to factory settings after 24 hours of hassle. I waited until the battery was flat, and held the home button whilst plugging it into iTunes and waiting until the computer recognised the phone. This did take five attempts, but it finally has restored my phone.

Old comcast emails keep downloading in to my mailbox

After I updated my software to iOS 5.1 I had to do a full restore. Since then old comcast emails keep downloading to my mailbox 50 at a time. I have two other email accounts on my phone and neither one of them have updated old deleted emails. I am tired of having to delete these old emails. Help!!

When you restored, the accounts were recreated. This is normal with a POP account - when an existing POP account with received messages that remain at the incoming mail server. All received messages that remain at the incoming mail server will be downloaded as new and unread messages when creating the account with a new email client or when the account is recreated.
The same doesn't occur with an Exchange or IMAP account. A POP account is an antiquated account type.

Why does my emails keep downloading after deleting them?

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility. Another is if you are synced with iCloud, then the mail is stored on your iCloud server backup and will redownload until you remove it.
Hope this helps

Setting up iPhone for email - keeps downloading messages

Hi folks, hope you can help and please point me to a thread if this has been raised before.
I have a Sky email account and use Outlook 2007 on my home pc as an email client. I was checking my Sky webmail account and noticed I had not set the Sky account to archive or delete (not sure what the difference is as they both make messages disappear).
So when I then set up my Sky account on my new iPhone it started downloading all the old messages.
The main question I suppose I have is can i download my emails to both my iPhone and Outlook? If I set my Sky webmail account to archive or delete after downloading will it only download in one place?
Or alternatively would i be even better just leaving Sky email to the home pc and setting up a Gmail or similar for the iPhone?
Hope this makes sense and someone can help.

If you want to keep everything in sync, you need to set up your mail using IMAP. I'm not familiar with Sky as to whether they offer an IMAP option or its just pop, you'll have to check with them. If they don't offer an IMAP option, you can get a gmail account, set that up as IMAP and then forward your Sky emails to your gmail account.

Deleted emails keep reappearing on iPhone

Ever since updating to iOS 4.2.1, I'm having a problem with deleted emails reappearing on my iPhone 3G.
I have deleted these emails a dozen times. They are also deleted from the server, so they're not being re-downloaded.
I have rebooted and reset the phone. I have deleted and re-created the email account. The emails keep coming back. I have about 25 of them now and they just won't go away, like zombies back from the dead.
My email is a POP account at comcast.net. (IMAP is apparently not available for this account.)
Any ideas on how to permanently expunge these deleted emails?

I too am losing my mind. Tried initial reboot, etc. Then last night restored and reloaded/synced. On my POP account (earthlink) I continue to get it repopulating every time I delete an email. My resetting everything effectively wiped out my accrued emails which was fine since I pick them up on my laptop or via web if need be. But the 4 new emails CANNOT STAY DELETED!
So restoring wasn't an effective option.

Emails keep downloading, even after deleting

Help please.
I install new IO7 on my Iphone 5 and it has downloaded around 15k of my work emails taking up massive 6GB space. Is anyway possible I can change setting to keep latest 50/100 emails only.
I can not delete my work emails from server. The server is provided by GoDaddy.
I have tried twice to delete older emails but it immediately download again. It is frustrating and seems I have to change phone if it is not resolved soon.
I wonder what apple was thinking about business people when designing this new IO7 ?

My machine has just developed this problem too.
The answer that's usually given is to remove the "MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3" files in /User/Library/Mail/V2/MailData but this only seemed to work temporarily - the problem recurred and every few hours, hundreds of emails (deleted from the web server, deleted from my machine) re-appear in the in-box.
It's a webmail POP account (eircom.net) and the behaviour started right after Mail asked for the password again - was this some kind of hacking going on? Why would Mail suddenly require the password after years of not asking?

Why does my email keep downloading after deleting

Recently, I downloaded the latest iOS and have found myself constantly receiving emails that duplicate every time it refreshes or I delete them. I cannot make it stop and it fills my email account rapidly!
Why is this the case? It is costing me far too much time, it has also caused a large loss of my productivity as well!!

It sounds like you may be "synced" to an IMAP email server with your ISP. You would need to go into Mail>Preferences and set the messages to be removed from the IMAP server after some period of time so they don't redownload to your computer. That's one possiblility.

Emails keep downloading again after being deleted

Hi,
I have just bought an iphone 3GS 8gb and set up my email account which is the same as the one on my pc (POP3 btinternet) when I delete an email or all of them all of the ones that I have already opened and deleted download again? (set to 25 latest) not just any new ones...how do I set it stop this and just get the new ones?
I have my email account set to leave a copy on the server (Outlook)and this doesnt keep reloading deleted emails??
Help please as I am new to apple and iphones

When creating a POP account with a new email client, all new messages that remain at the incoming mail server for the account will be downloaded as new and unread messages regardless if the messages have already been downloaded as new and unread messages with another email client - in the case with Outlook on your PC. This has nothing to do with Apple and the iPhone. The same would occur after creating a POP account with any new email client. This is the nature of a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. All messages that remain at the incoming mail server with a POP account will be downloaded as new and unread messages - the same would occur if you deleted and recreated the account with Outlook on your PC.

Email- My email keeps downloading old email long ago deleted by my computer, but I phone now has 1,300 plus email, and no way to delete in bulk. how can i dbulk delete and stop old emails from downloading. i use gmail.

This is a tough way to get help using the Iphone pushing us onto each other as users to do thier support work. !
My email is ging me fits , as it downloads so many old old email i do not want to use it to get email/

Sounds like you have your computer checking a POP account and your computer thus gets copies from the server and you don't have your comptuer set to delete from server once downloaded/deleted thus they are still on the server. Thus when your phone checks the server they are there. POP accounts were never intended for this mobile age.

My default email keeps saying server connection error after ios 7 update, my email keeps sayin server connection error after ios 7 update

Yes, it is directly related to j'breaking it. And as such, you will get no further support from Apple and we cannot help you either. Use an internet search to try to find a solution elsewhere.

Deleted emails keep reloading on iPhone 4S

After deleting read emails and emptying the trash folder, they reload as new emails on my iPhone 4S and iPad. Help!
