IPhone 6 won't delete mail

I bought a new iP6 two weeks ago. First smartphone I have owned. When I try to delete spam from my email, it gives a message something like "can't delete message". What is going on?

After the 4th attempt at setting up my email account, I am able to receive email -- yea! However, despite my SMPT server setting being exactly the same as my other devices, I can't send email.

Messages on iPhone won't delete

So everytime I try to delete a whole conversation on my iPhone 4s with iOS7, it goes away from my messages, but then the entire app will freeze up. At this point when I go to a conversation only the latest message sent or recieved will be shown, even though I knoe more are in the thread. I won't be able to send or recieve messages when this happens. Then when I close out the app and reopen it, it shows I have no messages at all, even if I only deleted one conversation, it just comes up as "New Message" this is really annoying because the only solution to get Messages to work again is turn the entire phone off and on again. Then all the conversations are back, including those that I "deleted" Need a fix ASAP because my messages are taking up a lot of space. Thanks!

Make sure the settings in your iphone and on your computer match for where deleted messages go. On the iphone, go to settings>mail>yourdotmacaccount, tap advanced, and it should show you that deleted messages are being put in "Deleted Messages". On your mac, if you don't have a mailbox that says "Deleted Messages" you're fine, because that means that you've told it (or it automatically chose it) that the mailbox "Deleted Messages" is your Trash. On the computer it shows just "Trash" for whatever mailbox is chosen for deleted messages.

Deleting messages on iPhone won't delete on .Mac

I have an issue where if I delete an email on my iPhone and then log in to .Mac mail, I still see the message there. Further inspection shows that the message is in the .Mac trash AND in the inbox - almost like the message was copied rather than moved. Not sure how to get the sync to finally take effect. I think if I check mail via mail.app it will force the sync. Also, if I delete one of the many messages in the .mac inbox, it will suddenly delete all the messages that should have already been deleted.
Anybody else see this? I have a buddy who is also able to reproduce this "bug".

Iphone won't send mail - does receive

This seems to have been discussed ad nauseum, but I can't figure out the solution for me. I get the following message when trying to send or reply to emails "iphone won't send email a copy has been placed in your outbox. the sender address ______was rejected by the server". On wifi everything works, not when I am off though. My email provider is Roadrunner (.twcny.rr.com)
Everything was fine up until yesterday. I don't know what could have changed.....
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having same difficulty. Was on tech support this AM and they couldn't figure it out either. I'm setting up a home wifi in next few days, will be interested to see if situation changes. My iPhone seems convinced that I'm [email protected] and tries to originate email from that address, only to be rejected by server as you describe. I can receive email that is addressed to [email protected], but even replying to such mail gets the same error. I'm beginning to suspect an ios5 bug, or there's something else about authorizing email addresses than is covered in documentation.

IPhone Spotlight Finds Deleted Mail

I use my iPhone 3GS to retrieve mail from a POP server. After reading mail, I move it to trash and then later delete it. Today I was using Spotlight to search for a contact's name. Spotlight found the contact as well as all mail with that contact even though I had deleted it.
I'd like to be able to permanently delete mail without leaving a copy on my iPhone somewhere. Is this possible?

This depends on what mail service you are using, and whether you are using POP or IMAP. When using IMAP, you can decide where to store the deleted messages - in a trash folder on the iPhone, or in the server. If you choose the server, it depends on your service what options you have to retain trash. If you retain it on the iPhone, it "should" empty the trash when you specify in the advanced options.
I am currently using MobileMe with trash being stored in the server. That is the default setting. It is also set by default to keep them there for 1 month. I will play with the settings (change it to 1 day) and see if that has any effect. I'll report back.

Ipad synced to iPhone suddenly won't delete mail

I have a problem that began surfacing a few weeks ago. I cannot get mail to move to the trash. I tried going into settings>mail,contacts, calendars, etc. as suggested but it isn't working yet. Help

This may seem elementary, but have you done a restart/reset of your device?

IPhone won't delete email off of Microsoft Exchange Server???

I setup my iphone to retrieve email off my exchange account and everything works great except when I delete an email. When I delete the email off the iPhone it's not deleting it from the server and the email is still showing on the server.
I'm hoping someone else expericenced this problem and was able to correct it. I would like to fully utilize my exchange account and would greatly appreciate any help?
Many Thanks!!!
iPhone Windows XP

I think I am experiencing the same issue with my Exchange service from Intermedia. Deleting on the iPhone appears to work, but when I check in Outlook or OWA I see that the iPhone has only made a copy of the message in the Deleted Items folder; the original message is still in the inbox. I'm sure this works correctly in Apple's Mail app so I hope they fix it soon.

Iphone won't delete messages

I have an iPhone 5s, and before that I had a 4s. Back when I upgraded to ios 7 on my 4s, I experienced a problem where I could not delete texts, and when I got my 5s, the issue persisted. So here is what's happening: lets say I want to delete all the messages with my girlfriend, I go to the conversation and I delete it like normal, but then I want to text a friend. So I tap on the convo of my friend and suddenly my phone gets real slow, and about 15 seconds later the convo opens up, but it only shows the last message sent by either of us, and when I try to send a text, it won't send. So I turn my phone off and back on (I've also tried holding the home button and lock button at the same time) and when I get back into the messaging app, my girlfriends messages are back. but I can send texts again. That's my problem. But I've noticed that my messaging is taking up tons of space and id like to get rid of it. So I was searching around and a guy on the apple forums had a solution where I would turn off messages in spotlight search and then go to the message app and delete everything in it, then close out every running application and then do a reset. He said to repeat it multiple times and the space being used would slowly go down. but when I do that and I turn my phone off and then back on, all my messages are still there and the space used does not go down. I dont know what I should do.

The person on the Apple forums was deeply incorrect

Songs on my IPhone won't delete when syncronized

I am able sync new songs to my IPhone, but the songs that were on there prior my IOS upgrade are still there. I can not delete the old songs and they take up a lot of the memory. The old songs are not removed when I sync even if I remove all songs through ITunes. The old songs are available to play from the phone but are not visible in ITunes. I upgraded from 6.7 to 7.1 IOS and these songs were on my phone prior to the upgrade.
How do I free up the memory and remove the old songs?

resynch your music.

Iphone won't send mail.

Hi there,
Have a problem with my iphone. Since I started the contract with o2 i have been unable to send mail on my iphone. The message "the connection to the outgoing server server smtp.o2.co.uk failed" appears. It suggests configuring additional outgoing mail servers. I have spoken with o2 about this at length and they believe it to be an iphone problem. Does anyone have any ideas how to help.
Thanks in advance.

If you are trying to send email via WiFi - the ISP may be blocking access to everyone else's SMTP server.
I assume this is the built in O2 SMTP server that came on the iPhone - if so it should work over Edge or 3G, but maybe not on WiFi.
If you can get another SMTP server configured and it works over WiFi and/or 3G then O2 has a problem.
Maybe find another O2 user and see how they have things configured for outgoing email over 3G.

Songs on iPhone won't delete 4s and IOS7

Since upgading to IOS 7 4 songs have been automatically added to my itunes on my iPhone 4s. I never use it for songs so I thought I would delete them. Lo and behold it wont let me. Tried swiping accross, no delete showing up. Tried pluging it into my mac but its showing there are no songs on my iPhone. Manually added an album this lets me delete off the phone no problem.
Can anyone help me as I'd like them to go away. Thanks

Ok, first, where are you trying to play them from? Are you selecting Music under your iPod or iPhone in the Devices section? Or are you selecting Music in the Library section?

Mail won't delete messages from Iphone unless I open Mail.

I have an Exchange account set up and use MS Outlook at work. I do receive my email via push on my Iphone 4s. However, when I delete a message from my MS Outlook at work, it won't delete from my Iphone UNLESS I open up Mail. Anyone else have this issue?
I did change the setting of pushing my delete items folder in the mail settings on my Iphone. Still did nothing.

Mel,
One more thing to check on your computer...iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>Account Information>iCloud>Refresh Calendars:>Push
If that is not helpful, go through the procedures listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.
