IOS mail deleting Yahoo mails

I don't know where the problem lies, but, I lost my entire email(twice!) in my inbox when trying to delete multiple emails from my iPad.
As always, I would select "Edit", and select multiple emails to delete and select "Delete". And "Delete Message" button pops up.
When I touch that button, everything in my inboxe are deleted! When it happened the first time, I thought I did something wrong.
But, it happened again! Luckily, Yahoo was able to restore my emails both times.
Now, I am deleting one at a time from iPad.
Anyone with similar problem?

If Mail is configured for IMAP access, what you're seeing is "normal" behavior. See this discussion.
You might look into POP3 access, although that may cause you other problems.

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

Does deleting yahoo mail account in system prefs and recreating it as Add Other Account lose mail data?

Having trouble getting Notes from iMac to sync with iPad and iPhone. On iPad and iPhone I deleted Yahoo mail account in prefs and recreated it as Add Other Account. This restored Notes that had not been showing up. Can I do the same thing on my iMac?

I'd add the new account first, unless you can lose all your eMails in that account.

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 permenently delete yahoo bulk mail folder on my iMac?

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.

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...

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".

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.

IOS Mail filters (unread, flagged, attachment, etc) only works in inbox

I decided to ask a question due I'm unable to use the Apple iOs Mail app because the filters (unread, flagged, today, VIP, with attachment...) it only shows me the messages that are in the INBOX. If I move any email to another location, or if it's applied automatic filtering, the iOS Mail app filters doesn't work. I noticed that the Mac Mail app does it well, searching in all folders, but with the iOS app I can't do that. That's the reason I can't use it. I can't do "inbox zero" because then all that "smartboxes" are useless.
I searched in settings but I can't find that. Please tell me if that is only my problem or if happens to everybody. I tryed with almost every account type (iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo). My iPhone is 4S with iOS 8.1.3.
Thank you.
Guillermo, from Madrid (Spain)

I am having the same problems on several machines, but others do work correcly.
Did you by any chance migrate your account from Entourage ? I am rebuilding accounts right now from scratch and it seems to be working (2 accounts so far).
Looks like preferences migrated from Entourage are not compatible with Outlook. Well, in my case at least.
Best of luck.

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

Email Folders & iOS Mail App

As I have quite a few cntacts on my email account I have folders set to recieve e emails from specific coontacts. I noticed that folders don't appear and junk mail doesn't get sorted for my hotmail. But I was wondering do other supported email providers show custom folders users may have on their account? I attached a screenshot (pixelated a few things) to show my folders (that you see under my Inbox. I am wondering If any email providers supported by mail can show custom folders like mine (scouts, sent 2 myself, online news and so on are custom folders I have). DO any email accounts from suppor providers show custom folders like mine in the screenshot in the iOS mail app?

Is your Yahoo account a POP email account? If so there is no way to sync the folders to your iPhone. Only IMAP accounts sync folder. The best you could do is log in through Safari.

Apple Mail and IOS mail client's auto configuration

Good morning,
Does any kind of documentation exist, anywhere, of how Apple Mail and IOS does autodiscover (how they handle it) and which XML format does it require for non Exchange accounts to be autoconfigured (an IMAP account with SSL and SMTP SSL too?.
Best regards,

Good morning Eric,
Thank you so much for your answer. Básically the answer I'm trying to get is how to manage for autoconfigure Apple Mail and iOS Mail automatically with a not "so known" email provider such us Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, like can be Sarenet (www.sarenet.es). I mean which kind of info should an XML or DNS SRV record contain in order to achieve this goal?. My answer requirement is far more specific that yours. Anyway thanks a lot as said before .
Regards,
