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.

  • Creating accounts and receiving email from a mail server

    Hi,
    I'm wanting to create a web application that creates a new email account for a user when they sign-up on my website. My application will process any email that is sent to that email address and extract parts of the email to store in a database.
    I think I can use JavaMail to poll the email accounts for new emails which will then be parsed and inserted into my database but I don't know how to programmatically create the email account for each user. I'm looking at using either sendmail or postfix as my mail server and this is on either *nix or os x.
    Any advice/pointers to Java APIs would be appreciated. If there's nothing available in Java that can do this kind of thing I'd love to hear about other solutions people know of or think might work :)
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Deleting email from phone and server

    How do I delete emails from the phone and the server. Every time I attempt to delete I get a "unable to move this mail". When I reopen my email, all previous mails reappear.

    Its a personal account. While waiting and fiddling with the phone, I think I solved the problem. Settings, My mail accont, on imap page...account, advanced, under mailbox behavior..deleted mailbox, checked trash on the server. That di it. Thanks for starting to help.

  • 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.

  • HT1277 when i delete emails from apple mail why does it not delete them from the account??

    Why doesn't it delete them from both??

    Keeping mail in sync is a function of what type of mail account you have. Sounds like you have an IMAP or Exchange account, & that's the way things are designed to work. Why don't you just create another folder on the server & move these emails to that folder. That way, they'll be out of your inbox, but still available on your laptop.

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

    Hi all,
    I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
    On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
    With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
    How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
    Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
    Thanks

    You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

  • 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 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.

  • HT1277 can I delete emails from my IPhone and the server as well?

    Can I delete emails from both my IPhone 5 and the server as well?

    It's very easy to do - open up the music app, find the song/artist/album you want to delete and then swipe on it right to left and press 'delete'. Once you have done this it will take up no more space on your device whether it's in the cloud or not.
    If the song is still appearing in the music app with a little cloud next to it then you can stop it from showing by going into settings, music, and turning off 'show all music'. Note that this will remove ALL songs from the music app that have the cloud next to it (the cloud means they are in the cloud, online, but not stored on the device) and if you want to play them you will have to open itunes and redownload it, or change this setting back to on.
    Let me know if you need any more help!
