Ipad mail is not deleting messages off the server

I have my setting configured to delete email;s from server when removed from inbox but it doesn't.  My provider stopped my account because I had 1200 messages in there.  Any ideas?

Are you sure that instead of "when removed from inbox" it isn't "when deleted"?
It may be a problem with how your provider interacts with commands coming from the device.  Which provider is this?  Perhaps someone who uses the same service will be able to assist you.

  • Macmail no longer has the option to delete messages off the server

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my macmail (6.2) no longer has the option to delete messages off the server in preferences / advanced settings.
    I recently had troubles with the mailbox quota being full (ie everything stored on the server) and don't want to go in and manually delete things.
    The research I've done suggests it should be as easy as checking or unchecking a box, however it's not there where it should be .
    Help please!

    Hi therese,
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors. Set the Trash section to move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox, and then to Store the deleted messages on the Server. Select how often you want deleted messages to be permanently removed from the server.
    Also, if you have stuff in the Trash, and you select some or all of it, and then go to Edit>Delete, it will ask you at that time if you want to delete it from the Server or just the Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Phone not deleting messages from the server

    Please help! My Blackberry Curve 9360 is not deleting messages from the server meaning that, after returning home from a week working away, i've still got a few hundred messages to wade through on my PC.
    I receive e-mails on the PC via Outlook Express. I've clicked on 'tools', 'accounts' then 'advanced' to ensure that the box for 'leave a copy of the message on the server' is unchecked i.e. messages sould be being deleted from the server when prompted to by the phone but this is not happening. Not sure what else to try or perhaps there was something i did / didn't do during the set-up of the phone.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Barry.

    Hello,
    Please check this KB:
    KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    All reconciliation capabilities between your BB and your email SERVER are governed by that KB. So, even if you set the other settings (e.g., "Delete On") correctly, they will be irrelevant if your email service does not support it (as per that KB).
    Further still, reconciliation between your email SERVER and your PC CLIENT software are something completely separate. Only in a very few circumstances (e.g., IMAP) does (for instance) Outlook reconcile items deleted at the Server down to the PC Client.
    Good luck!

  • In mail, I unchecked store deleted messages on the server and now I have 2 (duplicate) iCloud IMAP accounts in mail. If I delete one, will I loose my mail?

    If I delete one of my duplicate ICloud accounts, will I loose all my mail? I was searching for where I was getting the deleted mail and unchecked the store deleted messages on the server. That made changes to my account and now under accounts in mail I have the same account twice. I do not want to loose my mail and am affraid to delete one of the accounts.

    Im trying to avoid a reinstall so am hoping there is a supporting file I have missed that can be trashed. I have also just tried trashing the ~/library/mail folder but there is no change to the check box behaviour.

  • Is it possible to delete message in the server using Mail configured using IMAP?

    Is it possible to delete message in the server using Mail configured using IMAP?
    Currently when I delete the message in Mail, the server still keep a copy of it, which means it is not deleted on the server. I know that POP can do this but I still want the option of being able to access it from other computers.
    My server has only a small size, so I hope that I can just delete it from my Mail instead of having to log in to the server and delete it again.
    Thank you.

    Yes, but doing so will remove it from everything else.

  • Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

    Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
    Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
    System: 10.6.4

    Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
    Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
    If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
    Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

  • "mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages......

    About 2 weeks ago I started seeing "mail has not been downloaded from the server" messages popping up when I attempt to both new mail and e-mails that I have already read. I usually don't have any problems when I first launch the program, but after a few minutes running I get this message when I try to open any e-mail.
    The message from "---" <[email protected]> concerning “RE: S8-04 pps sample package” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    I know that the program is running online because it continues to show me new e-mails that come in.
    What should I do?

    Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.4.7 and Sasso's OS detail provided is 10.3.9.
    The MBOX Breaker script does not work with Tiger mailboxes which are different from the mailbox structure used with previous Mail.app versions and the link you provided includes instructions for Jaguar or Panther Mail, not Tiger Mail. And depending on the size of the mailbox with Jaguar or Panther Mail, the MBOX Breaker Script may not be required.
    If you are getting this message with Tiger Mail, this indicates you upgraded to Tiger from Jaguar or Panther on this Mac.
    If so and if this Sent mailbox is for a POP type account, using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > Sent Messages.mbox.
    List all file and folder names available within the Sent Messages.mbox folder.

  • How can I set it to delete messages off my server after they download?

    How can I set it to delete messages off my server after they download?

    IMAP email is server based. The messages stay on the server and just view them remotely with an email client like Thunderbird. If you want to keep a copy on your computer you need to move a copy of the email message to a folder under Local Folders. If you delete the message off the server, it is going to be gone otherwise.
    The delete from the server option is a POP email server. It does not apply with IMAP email.

  • IMAP and deleting messages from the server

    Anyone else trying to use IMAP in the default mail app and seeing that messages deleted locally are not removed from the server?
    I found a lot of posts about this issue on older Android versions and devices, but nothing for the Bionic yet.
    And unlike for POP accounts, there is not an option in the settings to turn this on. IMAP is all about keeping messages and folders in sync between multiple clients, so this is an annoying bug.
    I have been using K-9 as a work around, but I'd rather not use two different mail programs, and don't like the look/feel of K9 as much either.

    DCZim,
      Are you using IMAP or POP?  Also, are you using a popular public IMAP service like GMail, MSN, etc. that can be "auto configured" without having to manually enter the server name?
      Per Google the IMAP bug (which has been fixed some time ago in the Android Mail app but not yet in Motorola's Blur mail app) is triggered by visiting the incoming server settings for the account.
      IMAP's entire purpose it to keep everything in sync between multiple devices/clients.  If you want to delete messages on your phone without deleting them from the server, you should use POP3 instead of IMAP and ensure you have the client configured to NOT remove messages from the server when deleted locally and to always "leave a copy of message on the server".  This is a general concept of POP3, nothing specific to the Bionic, Blur, or Android.

  • "Could Not Send Message Using The Server...:

    I never have any trouble sending from Apple Mail, except now I am trying to do a mass-mailing for our business. Is there a limit on how many people you can BCC?
    For the 1st message I put 200 people in the BCC field, and the message sends fine. Then I setup the another message with the next 200 people, and the send fails. Get a notice that Apple "Could Not Send Message Using The Server SMTPOUT.secureserver.net". And gives me the option of selecting other servers, neither of which work either.
    I am curious, are there limits on how many people you can copy on one message?

    Most, if not all ISPs and email account providers have similar limits per the following for personal/non-business email accounts as part of an overall effort to eliminate or reduce bulk spam emanating from the ISP's or email account provider's domain.
    Any ISP or email account provider that doesn't impose similar limits is helping to contribute to the amount of spam that gets circulated.
    .Mac has several safeguards in place to ensure that only .Mac members send messages with the Mac.com outgoing mail server.
    Among them are reasonable limitations on:
    The number of messages that can be sent each day (200 messages)
    The number of recipients that can be sent to each day (400 recipients)
    The number of recipients a message can be addressed to at one time (100 recipients)
    There is also a 10 MB maximum size for messages sent or received using the .Mac mail system.

  • IPhone not moving deleted message on the Server

    Okay,
    I have an IMAP account on my iPhone and my web mail is set to move deleted messages into the Trash Folder.
    But for some reason when I delete a message on my iPhone it will show up in the Trash folder on the Phone but on the web mail it’s only marked (line thought it).
    Is this do to the iPhone or?

    I am having exactly the same issue. My boss uses a Samsung Blackjack (Windows Mobile) and his will remove from the server the emails he deletes from his Blackjack. When I delete my IMAP email from the iPhone it does NOT delete from the server - even when I empty the Trash folder.

  • Mail app not deleteing messages in trash like it's supposed to

    I have a .mac email account. In "Mailbox Behaviors" I have checked "Move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox" and "Store Deleted Messages on Server". I also have selected "Permenantly erase deleted messages when: one day old".
    The problem is that mail is not deleting my messages when one day old. The messages just sit there in the trash forever.
    Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas on how to solve?
    Thanks.
    EDIT: The message was deleted when I quit mail and restarted. I don't understand. Usually I leave my mail app up and running 24/7. I thought that selecting "Permenantly erase deleted messages when: one day old" was supposed to do that even if the mail app was running all the time, when it syncronizes? But I have to quit mail and restart it to get it to do that?

    Hi, McToast.
    I don't use .Mac mail, but I've noticed the same behavior w.r.t. "Delete messages when one day old." Personally, I think it's a bug. I just press Command-K every once in awhile in Mail to delete all the Trash: I have mail set up to move everything that is considered Junk to the Trash vs. a Junk mailbox.
    I submitted a Mac OS X Feedback on this months ago. You may want to do the same.
    You might want to check the Mail & Address Book Discussion, which is where Mail-related questions should be posted.
    Good luck!

  • How can I set up a new account without auto deleting messages on the server?

    Ive got accounts on COMCAST.NET (are those imap accounts?) and when I created a user account on Thunderbird for one of them the autocreate process immedaitely started downloading messages from my server before I was able to set the "keep messages on server" flag. (Its been a few months, forgive me if I am not using the exact right option text but you get the idea.)
    How can I create a Thunderbird account that will download all the message on my server (comcast.net) and leave them all there?
    That's the only thing keeping me from switching to Thunderbird. Please help - comcast's online web client is not the most bug free thing in the world.
    (Note, I am setting up a new win7 system, had been using OE 6 on winXP. I assume I am better off trying this than running OE in XP in a virtual window - and even if I moved my old message bases from XP I still need to create an account that won't immediately start downloading/deleting messages from my server before I can configure it not to.)
    Any help appreciated.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991539#answer-547878
    The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.
