IOS mail deletes mails in osx

when i delete mails on iPad, it deletes the same mails loaded in my os x mail?

That's normal if you are using an IMAP type email service.

IOS Mail permanently deletes messages

I've noticed several times that the iOS mail client occasionally does an unprompted permanent-delete of messages in my trash can. There's a similar complaint about it from 2008 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1362228?start=15&tstart=0).
I've got the following setup:
iOS 6.1.2
Gmail account via Exchange
Here are the steps that occurred:
Opened Mail to view new messages in inbox
Deleted several messages (sent them to trash)
Inadvertently deleted a message I wanted to keep
Went to trash folder, which started a download of the most recent contents of my trash folder
Saw the messages I just deleted
The download of my trash folder completes, causing the messages I just deleted to get permanently deleted
I can't see the messages I deleted anywhere, not in the Gmail app, nor in the Gmail web client.
I've never seen this behavior in any other client except for iOS Mail. I'm not sure if it's issue with the app, the way it handles the Exchange protocol, or the way Gmail talks to the Exchange protocol. Any ideas? This seems like really bad bug.

I have no idea what or why this happened!
All of a sudden, I'm able to delete read mail and have it appear in the trash (as it should) and am able to read it there, and remain there, until I want to permanently delete it!!!
I'm convinced this had to be an Apple problem but really haven't seen anything confirming this.
Note:
Even though I was unable to see the mail in the trash it was still on my comp. I just had to hunt for it...Library/Mail/Deleted Messages, so all wasn't lost.
Thanks for all you people do to help us frustrated but happy MAC'ers. I wouldn't trade
my MAC for anything.

IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

Delete gmail account from iOS mail

gmail shows up as an inactive account in my ios mail settings. however, gmail still loads into my inbox. I want to eliminate gmail completely and only get icloud mail. I can't find a way to do it.

Since you are in the Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) forum but are asking about iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm not sure how to answer. So, here is how to do it in either:
In Mavericks (i.e. on a Mac):
Open "System Preferences" > "Internet Accounts"
Select your Google account in the left sidebar
Click the "-" icon at the bottom left to delete the account
In iOS (i.e. on an iPhone):
Touch "Settings"
Touch "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
Touch your Gmail Account
At the bottom of the screen, touch "Delete Account"
That's it. If you delete accounts per the above instructions then there is simply no way for your Gmail to continue to come in to Apple Mail on Mavericks or iOS. The only way that could happen is if you have set up your Gmail account to forward mail to your iCloud account.
I hope this helps.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

Is there a way to show only flagged email on iOS Mail?

I use Exchange 2007 at work with Outlook 2010. I also use my iPad to connect to my company Outlook Web Access. On the iPad I am able to mark a message as flagged. I use the flag on a message to indicate that there's some action that I need to take on the email. After I skim my inbox and flag all the emails with actionable items in them I go to my smart folder in Outlook which shows only my flagged messages so I can focus on those with actionable items. I noticed on IOS Mail there does not seem to be such smart folders and there seems to be no way to view only messages which are flagged.
Can someone please explain how to do this on the iPad. It is very important to me. In fact, it's so important, that I would switch to Windows Phone platform just to have this one feature.
Thanks!

I too would love to filter my inbox down to just flagged emails - I'm on iPad 3 with latest iOS, though it seems latest OS is not the problem, but rather a simple oversight in usability, and more important productivity.
On the note of productivity, why does it take SO MANY clicks to flag an email on iPad mail? Have to hit Edit > mark the email > Mark > Flag. I count three superfluous taps there. There should be a swipe action on the left (much like the swipe and Delete on the right hand side of the email heading) for flagging. And a simple little flag symbol at the top to hit when I want to see only flagged mails. Productivity should be the name of the game.
I also realise that venting in this forum probably isn't the best place for it...

IOS Mail changes .mhtml extension to .html when opening in another app

Hey there guys,
Just noticed this, this morning. Recently, our Backup server admin changed the report sent out by our Microsoft DPM server from PDF to MHTML output. (DPM could *never* format the PDF correctly and, surprise surprise, can format the MHTML output just fine).
Anyways, I purchased an MHTML viewer from the Mac App Store for OSX - all fine. I purchased the iOS version of the same developers viewer this morning and tried to open the mail attachment into that app. Oddly, it just showed as text - just like it does inside the iOS Mail app itself.
It was then that I noticed that the attachment extension was .html not .mhtml - yet the file attached to the email is definetely showing as .mhtml.
I tried a wee experiment and opened the attachment into Dropbox instead - sure enough, the extension was changed to .html again.
I then forwarded that message out to my gmail using the Mailbox app and opened the attachment into the MHTML viewer from there - perfect! Because it didn't change the extension as it passed the attachment to the opening app.
So, I have what obviously is a bug in the iOS Mail app - I just want to report it to Apple so it can be fixed. I can't find anywhere to log this bug without having to pay money for a support incident.
Knowing that Apple frequent these Communities (I have been contacted by them in the past following posts I've made here), I thought this might be the best course of action. Or, if I am wrong, someone would let me know! (Either about the bug, or how to report it)... ;-)
Thanks!
William

What happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail?

What happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail?

Nothing at all.
It still works the same way for me as it always did. It might help if you specified which email provider you use - for instance I believe that Gmail has its own way of deleting/archiving emails so you need to be more specific than ..."what happened to the trash option in the new iOS mail".

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

IOS Mail: Mailbox Management

Using: iPad 4 w/wi-fi; iOS 8.2
I do not understand how the Mailboxes work.
FIrst, I have two Trash mailboxes: one, Trash can, and one, Trash folder.
I also have a mailbox named, Bulk Mail.
None of these three folders did I set up; they came with the Mail app. In OS X, if I wanted a Trash folder or a Bulk Mail box, I would have to manually set them up.
The problem(s):
1. The Trash folder receives mail from my Inbox - NOT PUT THERE BY ME! If I MOVE it back to the Inbox, sometime later it is back in the Trash folder. Currently, I have 76 emails in my Trash folder - that's another problem; if I want to delete them, I have to manually select them ONE AT A TIME - unlike the Trash can which allows deleting all at once. I would like to DELETE THE TRASH FOLDER, but then if Mail decides to move emails from the Inbox without my permission, WHERE WOULD THE EMAILS GO?
2. The Bulk Mail folder also receives mail that should be coming into only my Inbox. My desktop Mac, with the same email account, receives the same emails into its Inbox and thankfully leaves them there.
This automatic switching of emails from the Inbox to the Trash folder or to the Bulk Mail box is frustrating to say the least. When I go to the "iPad User Guide," there is no help for Mail Mailbox management; write, finish, work with, and print messages but no MAILBOX MANAGEMENT HELP!
Please instruct me or send me to a tutorial on iOS Mail's mailbox management.
Thanks,
bob

I do appreciate your help and it's quite a find the link you provided,
however I am not still clear that if I map the Gmail boxes to Trash, Sent, and Drafts in Mail.app, will this result in only 1 version of each box visible in the mail.app sidebar?
That's correct.
will this result also apply to the boxes (Trash, Sent, and Drafts in) on an iphone?
No... you'll need to do the mapping on the iPhone as well.

Mail pour iOs - Mail for iOs

Bonjour,
Je suis nouveau dans la communauté, et je ne sais pas s'il existe beaucoup de francophones ici.
Ma question porte sur le développement de l'application iOs Mail (par Apple), concernant la gestion des mails : pourquoi n'est il pas possible de "marquer comme lu" puis d'archiver ou de supprimer des groupes de mails, sans avoir à les sélectionner deux fois de suite ? Comment soumettre l'idée à Apple ?
Merci de votre aide, et mes excuses pour la traduction imprécise (mon anglais n'est pas exceptionnel).
High,
I'm new in the community and don't know if plenty of francophones are in too.
Ma ask is about iOs Mail (by Apple) application development, and managing e-mails : why isn't it possible to mark as read afterwards archive or delete groups of e-mails two consecutive times? How to submit the idea to Apple?
Thank you for help, and my apologies for my imprécise translation (my english isn't exceptional).

Duplicated IMAP labels in iOS Mail

Hi folks, I am pulling my Gmail account down via IMAP and recently noticed the strange/frustrating issue that all of my labels are appearing twice in iOS Mail's folder list when I drill into "Accounts > Gmail".
The tags have not been duplicated on the server side. The actual folders, with the exact same emails in them, are simply appearing twice in the list. In fact, if I tap into a the second listing of my "Notices" folder, when I tap back out to the top level of navigation, the animation shows me emerging from the first listing. I tap into one folder, but the OS knows it's exactly the same as the other folder.
I've deleted and readded the Gmail account twice now, and restarted the phone. I've purged my labels on Gmail. But the duplication persists. I'm afraid to use Mail on iOS to delete one of the label sets because I don't want to accidentally delete the entire label and all the conversations assigned. And again, the label itself is not duplicated on Gmail.
Help!

Update
We've had zoho mail accounts lying around for some time, and I can define one of these as an IMAP mail account from iPad
I can create folders at will on the zoho account AND IOS mail client allows me to move mail messaged BETWEEN mail accounts, so she can keep her existing mail account but move things she wants to keep easily to zoho
Not ideal, but workable

Cannot open Inbox in the IOS Mail app

Hello,
Anyone else, besides me, unable to open the Inbox in the IOS Mail app this morning? I can view the emails in Yahoo mail on my PC, but I don't see any emails in the IOS Inbox on my Ipad Air 2. I deleted on my Yahoo Mail account on my Ipad, and then reactivated the account. However, my emails still don't display. To try to find a solution to the problem, I also activated my Gmail account in the IOS Mail app, but the emails for that account do not display as well. Accordingly, I wonder if there is a glitch in the IOS system today.

Any glitch in iOS mail would be in iCloud mail, not the mail app itself and that's what you seem to be experiencing. IIf you ever want to check to see if there are problems with any apple services, you can check here.
https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Start with really basic troubleshooting steps. Close the mail app and reset the iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings..... You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Synchronise ios mail sent items with yahoo?

I have got a new iMac and have my Yahoo email account synchronised with iOS Mail. The inboxes across my devices are the same but any emails sent from iOS mail do not appear on my Yahoo account or on my iPad or iPhone. Has anyone come across this before? Is there a solution to synchronise Sent Items?
Thanks
Alastair

Ok I solved the problem for the benefit of anybody who might find this post and have a similar problem.
The problem was I used windows mail and later windows live mail for years and they had created a lot of different folders which synced with my imap folders, my host default folders were as follows
drafts
inbox
sent items
spam
trash
other folders which appeared in some of my accounts depending on which mail programs I had used to access them were as follows
deleted items
deleted messages
junk E-mail
Notes
sent
sent messages
1) I deleted my accounts from my mac and other devices such as my iphone in mac mail this is under
Mail menu----preferences-----accounts highlight the acount and press the minus button
2) then I logged into my online mail account for my host, moved items from folders such as "sent" and "sentmessages" to my default "sent items" folder, they had been placed in these odd folders by various email clients and deleted those non default folders
3) I then re set up those accounts in mac mail and highlighted the "sent items" folder in the left hand menu in each case and then went to the
mailbox menu---- use this mailbox for-----sent
4) then finally re synced my iPhone mail accounts, now it all works and my mail accounts are nice and clean
hope this helps someone

Mail aliases no longer usable in iOS Mail?

I just discovered that my mail aliases are no longer available in iOS Mail. It took years for them to get it working close to correctly. What happened?

With 7.1 on my iPhone 5, Organize by Thread is definitely NOT working.
On my Mac (Mavericks) a particular 'thread' of notification emails (not important what) is grouped together eactly as desired and expected since 'Organize by Conversation' is ON.
When viewed in iOS, even when 'Organize by Thread' is ON, that same 'thread' is displayed simply as separate emails rather than grouped as on the Mac. I thought this worked before, but I cannot be sure when or even if my memory is correct. However, what is clear is that a function that works on the Mac, does NOT in iOS.
However, the observant may have noticed a slightly different name in each case. It's '...by Conversation' on the Mac and '...by Thread' in iOS. I would understand them to mean the same thing, but who knows now. If they ARE the same function, why use different terms (VERY bad design practice) and if they are different, what does each actually mean?
I'm somewhat perplexed that such a fundamental failure is getting so little press. OK, it's not a major deal, but the fact Apple cannot get right something so simple...

How to incorporate URL in iOS Mail?

In Mail under MacOS X I am using often the possibility to 'hide' a URL with Command-K.
I like to do this in iOS' Mail too, but I didn't find how it can be done.
Somebody knows a workaround? Thanx in advance!

--- Code starts here ---
property bURL : "http://192.168.1.90/"
set tList to {tab, "", "XXX", (ASCII character 13)}
tell application "Firefox"
activate
Get URL bURL
tell application "System Events"
delay 1
repeat with i in tList
keystroke i
delay 1
end repeat
tell application "Firefox"
activate
Get URL (bURL & "37.html")
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Firefox" to keystroke "s" using command down
delay 2
keystroke ((do shell script "date '+%Y.%m.%d'") & (item 4 of tList))
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
--- Code end here ---
Your use of 'System Events' is unorthodox; however, if such style works for you ...
