IPhone 4 deleting email from Yahoo server

Just upgraded to iPhone 4 from the original one. Noticed that when I delete email from my Yahoo account, the messages are also deleted from the server and can not be retrieved from my iMac/iBook. This did NOT happen with my old iPhone. Tried re-entering my Yahoo account but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks

Found the solution. Delete the Yahoo account. Create a new "Yahoo" account using the "Other" e-mail account setting. Called it "Yahoo1". After providing the normal Yahoo set-up information, my iPhone went into the "verifying" mode and after some time (checking the settings with Yahoo) it created the account on my iPhone. Went to the "advanced" setting and got a different screen then with the original Yahoo account. This screen had an option "delete from server", which I set for never and now everything is working fine.
Again, I did NOT get this screen when using the normal default Yahoo account set-up. Only using "other" did I get this option.

  • IPhone deletes Emails from my mail server.

    I have my Iphone 5 set to never remove emails from the server but my Iphone will pick up the email and delete them from the server. My sister is having the same problem. Any ideas?

    Are you using a POP3 server? The server may not be honoring the do not delete request. POP3 is antiquated and should be avoided if at all possible.
    IMAP and Exchange allow full synchronization between the server and all clients. If you delete a message using an IMAP client, it will be deleted from the server.

  • How do I stop my iphone from deleting emails from the server and visa versa

    I have the iphone 4, recently my phone started sending email info to the server. Meaning it deletes emails from my hotmail account if I delete them off my phone and visa versa. I know there is a setting under advanced setting, I don't have that button. I showed someone in the apple store and she said it was a software issue and to wipe my phone and back it up from my back up, this didn't help anything, neither did re setting the settings. I don't even have the spot in the settings where I can put in the pop3 information. This is a new thing my phone started doing and I don't understand why I don't have the same setting buttons as everyone else. Any advice? The only other thing I can think is wiping my phone and starting over but I don't want to lose the data in my aps
    I'm on the newest software version, this started happening just before I did that update.

    POP3 settings won't appear if an IMAP service can be found. Basically, you're going to have to set up the account with bogus information so that the phone can't find the server by itself. Then, when it can't, you'll be presented with the advanced settings where you can set it up as POP3 and enter the settings you want to use.
    POP3 is considered pretty much obsolete these days. The whole point of IMAP is to allow you replicate the server based mail store completely so that all information is available across all of your devices. If you don't want things crowding your in-box, but don't want to delete it entirely, why not just set up folders and move things where you want them to be once you read them?

  • IPhone deleting emails from folders

    I've been having a problem with an iPhone 3GS deleting emails from folders.  This has only been happening for about 3 or 4 weeks but is a very critical issue.  I've lost several critical emails that are not recoverable!  It makes using the iPhone to view saved messages useless!  Maybe time for a droid?
    The issue may have started when I upgraded to version 5.0.1  When you select a folder your see the email you want and then it just disappears.  It is deleted and not able to find it anywhere.  I'm using AT&T email which is Yahoo.  I log on to Yahoo email and the email has also been completely deleted.  I have been using the 3GS with Yahoo mail for over two years without any issue.  Something in IOS has changed that has added the new unwanted feature.  Apple needs to get it resolved!  Does anyone know when a fix is coming? 

    I've yet to hear of that issue specifically previous to this post. You might test it with another account just so you're not puting your real account in danger. It definiatly won't hurt to update. I would also turn on the "ask before deleting" option in the settings to see if that helps any.
    Keep us updated.

    My POP account still has this option, but it's not a hotmail account. Maybe you should set up the IMAP version for hotmail accounts.

  • Deleting Email from Yahoo Account

    I have tried searching the previous discussions before asking this question. Please excuse the redundancy if you have seen it before.
    I have a Yahoo POP email account linked to Mail. It seems to be sending and receiving properly. When I delete an email in Mail I would like it to also delete the email in Yahoo. I have tried deleting the email in Mail and deleting the trash. I still cannot get the original email in Yahoo to delete. Are my expectations too high?
    Thanks, Brandon.

    Have you checked the following:
    First, check your settings in Mail preferences - Click on Advanced Tab and choose "immediately" under the "remove copy from server after retrieving a message";
    If the problem persists, check settings within your online Yahoo account settings.

  • Deleting emails from the server?

    I tried to email a video as an attachment to 5 recipients.  I did this 5 times in a row with different videos attached to each.  They got jammed up and never went out. I deleted them on my macbook pro and they do not show up in my outbox. Now I can't send or receive email on either my laptop or my iphone.  My iphone worked for awhile, but now no.  I think I need to delete them on the 'server'...how do i do this?  Help!!

    Log on to the Web based email system of your email provider. Then delete whatever you want.

  • TS3899 trouble deleting emails from yahoo

    I can't seem to search for a series of emails in yahoo, then delete them? I check off all emails and hit delete and the check marks go away and nothing gets deleted.

    It seems that a restart has fixed this issue.  No more problems with the swipe delete.

  • HT3228 deleting emails from pop server

    It would appear that the new operating system has not continued to allow email messages to be deleted from a pop server by an Ipad or Iphone or am I not looking in the right places to change the applicable settings?

  • How to prevent iPhone 4 with iOS 5 from deleting email from the MSN server

    when I was running iOS 4 I could sent my iPhone to never delete emails from the server but I just noticed that after the update iOS 5 when I delete an emial from my iPhone it shows up as deleted in my Outlook on my laptop. I looked and was not able to find a setting to prevent my iPhone from deleting emails fromt the server.
    Am I missing something?

    Thank you for responding!  The music I no longer want, I removed.  This is why it's confusing me so much.  The music I've deleted from both my iPhone and my computer is STILL showing up in my Music on iTunes, under my iPhone in devices.  Does that make sense?  I'm not particularly down with the techie lingo.  Haha.
