IPhone deletes mail on Exchange server - how to uncouple?

Whenever I delete company mail on my iPhone the mail is deleted from the Exchange server.
Where can I toggle this? I want the mail to stay visible from my Mac but be cleared off my iPhone.
Many thanks.
Edited to reflect it's an Exchange server, not IMAP.

You cannot. Exchange servers operate just like IMAP - the mail lives on the server, and a local copy is synced/cached. If you make a change (like deleting a message) on one device, that change is reflected on the server (assuming you're connected to the internet), and thus on all devices.
One option might be to create a different folder (in Mail on the Mac, for example, but on the Exchange account not local so the phone can access it) - call it Read Mail or something like that. Then, on the iPhone move emails from your Inbox to that folder instead of deleting them.

My blackberry is deleting mail from my server. how do i stop it?

My blackberry seems to be deleting messages from my main server. I know how to leave messages on the server via my Mac entourage email but they are still getting deleted and my blackberry is the only other place that could be deleting them. Please help!

EmmyG, RIM doesn't delete emails from the mail server, it only flags that it has "pushed" that email or message to the handheld device. There is not a setting or function anywhere to delete from the server.
Are you using a personal BIS account, or a corporate BES account?

IPhone deleting mail from server without permission?

Hi,
About 3 weeks ago mail which is delivered to my Iphone started to disappear from my mail account. Now I have my Iphone set to never delete mail from the server, yet it appears that some, not all are getting deleted.
I have read some posts which say to delete the mail account from my phone and re-create it which I have already done, but this did not solved my problem. It is a pop account so I'm confused as to why this is happening.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

Mail with exchange server problem.

I keep getting a connection failed message asking me to chdeck the settings for my exchange account. I've done this many times and even managed to talk our administrator into checking the settings.
The error message contains the information that the host xxxx server on port 143 failed. This port may be incorrect, but how do I chage it?
I have managed to sync with my exchange account and all messages seem present, just can't send or recieve from mail, via exchange server.
suggestions?????/

I think the problem of intermittent connections to the mail server is that it may be caused by OSX's firewall, so what I did was to go to System preferences>sharing>Firewall, I opted for a New port, I selected "other" and named it Mail and under the TCP port number I input 25 or you may input whatever you use (ssl requires a different number) or you may do several to cover all the accounts and name them mail2, mail3 etc. if you are wondering what UDP is, its the following: is a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network, in other words if you are not sure avoid inputing a number here. So far Im trying it out for stability, I have read many articles and the solution may be as simple as this, its easy to try and non permanent, any one trying this solution please post any experiences. Thanks

Using iPhone with a Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi
Is it possible to connect the iphone to a Microsoft Exchange Server to access your emails?
Thanks

Ryan Simmons,
Exchange's ActiveSync protocol which requires licensing a propietary protocol from Microsoft is what you are asking for.
IMAP is one additional port open, and can be encrypted with SSL. If they are concerned about an additional port open, VPN is an option. Then only when the VPN is active will the corporate email be available. The other argument that has been advanced on security is on Windows Mobile devices the server can ask for remote wipes of data from the phone. The iPhone only caches emails, and goes back to the server to download them again when you go to view them again. If you change the password for the account on the server, the same results occur - the email is not available on the device the next time that account is accessed from the iPhone.
This article contains an outline of the things needed on the server to support:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307313
This article outlines the VPN protocols supported by the iPhone:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305723
Hope this helps,

Send mail to exchange server with TLS

Hi,
last month I enabled an oracle wallet TDE for creating encription for TS.
Today, development team needs to send mail to exchange server with TLS.
So I found this procedure on oracle support Doc ID 1323140.1
My question is, can I use the same wallet to send mails from db?
The Oracle Database 11.2.0.3
Or I need to implement a different type of wallet with certificate?
Is there, in this case, a procedure step by step?
I have never implemented that and I'm very confused....
Thanks in advanced

Hi, I have implemented a new wallet with certificates (for test SMTP.gmail.com) and i'm tryied to use this procedure:
DECLARE
mailhost VARCHAR2(64) := 'smtp.mydomain.it';
sender VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
recipient VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
wallet_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'welcome1';
wallet_loc VARCHAR2(64) := 'file:/etc/ORACLE/FRMSSYST/SMTP/';
user_name VARCHAR2(64) := 'HDC021319'; -- alias for '[email protected]'
user_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'password'; -- password of [email protected]
mail_connection utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
-- Make a secure connection using the SSL port configured with your SMTP server
-- Note: The sample code here uses the default of 465 but check your SMTP server settings
mail_connection := utl_smtp.open_connection(
host => mailhost,
port => 25,
wallet_path => wallet_loc,
wallet_password => wallet_pwd,
secure_connection_before_smtp => FALSE);
-- Call the Auth procedure to authorized a user for access to the mail server
-- Schemes should be set appropriatelty for your mail server
-- See the UTL_SMTP documentation for a list of constants and meanings
UTL_SMTP.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
UTL_SMTP.STARTTLS(mail_connection);
UTL_SMTP.AUTH(
c => mail_connection,
username => user_name,
password => user_pwd,
schemes => 'LOGIN');
-- Set up and make the the basic smtp calls to send a test email
utl_smtp.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
utl_smtp.mail(mail_connection, sender);
utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_connection, recipient);
utl_smtp.open_data(mail_connection);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This is a test message using SSL with SMTP.' || chr(13));
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This test requires an Oracle Wallet be properly configured.' || chr(13));
utl_smtp.close_data(mail_connection);
utl_smtp.quit(mail_connection);
END;
This procedure, works fine if I try to send an email to smtp.gmail.com (I tried first with gmail with appropriate certificates), but now, when I try to send an email to the local enterprise Exchange server I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 503 5.5.2 Send hello first
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 54
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 140
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 439

New iPhone contacts accidentally synced to Exchange server, how can I get them into my Mac?

I've been adding a lot of contacts on my iPhone lately and now I wanted them synced to the Address Book on my Mac. This just wouldn't work for me, none of the new contacts would turn up on the Mac, no matter what I tried. After pulling my hair plenty it turns out I had the iPhone set up to sync contacts with the Exchange server from work instead of with my Mac.
Question is, how do I get the contacts from either the Exchange account or the iPhone into my Mac?
There doesn't seem to be a way of changing, on the iPhone, to which account an already added contact should sync. Or is there?
I must say it's pretty ******** that you cannot just choose to import all contacts from the iPhone to the Mac. Or, at the very least, have the option to choose to what account you want to sync a new contact WHEN YOU'RE ADDING IT. As you can choose between all your calendars when adding an appointment.

IPhone in deleting mail from my server? Help please

i have an ATT / Yahoo e mail acct. and never had this problem before.
As i have a phone and a home computer, i have always had the phone leave the mail on the server and that way I could also get it on my home computer. Now the phone deletes the mail off the server os I can't get it at home.
I have checked my phone settings but nothing helps.
Any suggestions would be great before i take a trip down to the ATT store.
Thanks,
Rich

Unless you had it set up as a POP account before with a specific setting not to delete messages from the server after download, I'm not sure why it would have behaved differently. This is the way it's always worked for me. It's basically an IMAP account with support for push notification. Nearly indistinguishable from an Exchange account. It synchronizes fully with the server. Deletions will be reflected on all devices using IMAP to access the host inbox.

HT201320 how to keep iphone4 from deleting mail in the server

Ok, I have an iPhone 4 and it is a great phone but I nee to keep it from deleting my mail in the server.

Settings > Mail > Your Account > Advanced > Delete from Server > Never
With this settings your phone will download new mail an leave the original on the mail server. You can delete mail from your phone but it will remain on your server until you delete manually or have a different device delete it.
And if it's a POP account, it will never delate

How do I set up Mail to remove deleted mail from Brighthouse server?

My Brighthouse/Time Warner Mail says I am at 100% capacity and I need to go to the roadrunner site and manually delete items from the server. I used to have a PC and there was a way to set up outlook so that when I deleted an email, it would be taken off the server.
How do I set this up in Mail? (I said safari but meant mail earlier)

Hi there jhoche1,
It sounds like you are looking for the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" setting. This setting can be found at Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

IPhone 5 mail set up as IMAP - deletes mail from ISP server

I have had my iPhone 5 for 3 months. I set up one of my email accounts with my ISP (Charter) as IMAP and the phone is behaving as expected. I have it set to show 50 recent messages which is fine; I assumed that I could always login to my Charter account if I was away from home and needed something older. Outlook on my PC is behaving as expected and I can open unopened email from a long time ago. But I just found that login to my Charter account through a browser, there are only about 100 messages in my inbox, and there is nothing in my sent folder since the day before I got my iPhone.
I would like for nothing to get deleted from Charter's server unless I delete it using Outlook on my PC or accessing my Charter account through a browser.
Is there any way to do this?

The folders that I see on the phone don't match up to the folders I have set up in Outlook. I much prefer to handle the mail there. I just want to be able to see the mail on the phone and not have the phone be the boss of the server. I now understand that is really not possible. I will try to remember to increase the number of messages retained on the phone before I travel. (concerned that they will start being deleted from the server before I download them to the PC via Outlook.)
Thanks for your replies.

IPhone not syncing with Exchange server

I'm having an issue with IOS 5.1.1. Since Monday, my iPhone is downloading emails from my Exchange (outlook) account like it always has, the problem is, when I delete an email in Outlook, it's not deleting from my phone. Similarly, reading an email in Outlook doesn't mark it as "read" on my phone. This leaves me at the end of the day with hundreds of unread/extraneous emails on my phone that I have already addressed, filed or deleted in Outlook. How do I correct this?
This is weird because it has worked correctly with everything syncing properly up until this week, and I did not update anything.
I'm using a PC for the Outlook - same PC as always, and no updates unless my company updated something remotely without my knowledge.
I have set up my email account using the "Exchange" option when I added it. Already tried deleting and re-adding the account (twice).
Thank you!

As I had said in my earlier post, my problem was with outlook being slow in updating exchange.
However, this does not explain your symptoms with OWA.
When I used OWA, the "state" seen by OWA and the iPhone matched (what was read, was read; what was not, was not). However, Outlook (in my case, Outlook on the Mac - Office 2011) was way behind in updating this state. If you read something in Outlook, it could take a very long time to reflect this state back to the Exchange Server.
Part of the reason for this was that I had a lot of stuff, both in my inbox and in my deleted mail. I had to clear this out to allow Outlook on the Mac to perform at all well.
Are you sure that OWA is aligned with Outlook? OWA is a direct view into the server state, and should match server state. Outlook and the iPhone mail app are accessing the server, and have the opportunity (at least) to not show the current state of the server (bugs, delays, performance, etc).
If OWA and Outlook are really correctly in sync, and it has to be an Apple problem or a problem in the exchange server interface Apple is using. But this was not my experience.

Connecting Apple Mail to Exchange Server

I just bought a new IMac and have been trying to pop to my university email account. It is on an exchange server. I have successfully popped to this account using Outlook, my IPhone and other email programs, but when I try to set up Mail (version 2.1.1), it cannot connect at the point where it says "Checking connection to POP server"....it always bombs out with a mesage that says "The POP server xxxx is not responding"
Given that I'm able to connect with other Mac products (IPhone) as well as non Mac products, this seems like some probelem specific to the OS system. Any suggestions on how to connect would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allen

I'm have an exchange account at a university which works ok. When setting up the account with the mail wizard, I choose exchange from the menu instead of POP. I've also read where users have chosen IMAP.
I'm not familiar with the iphone setup so I can't comment about why iphone POP would work with exchange server.
I know I had to use the university web site and follow their setup info for exchange server. They didn't have an apple version so I just applied what they suggested the best I could.

OS X Mail with Exchange Server

Yeah - OK - why dabble with the dark side.
I found emails I deleted in Mail where not disappearing in Exchange Server, whereas the other way round worked fine. Until I changed my 'permanently erase deleted emails' setting from 'after one week' to 'when quitting Mail'.
As soon as I quit Mail after this 96 PAGES of previously 'deleted' emails instantly vanished from exchange server.
So - what is it about 'after one week' that Mail doesn't like?
Note I had only unchecked 'Store deleted messages on the server' earlier in the day - but hey most of those deleted emails that refused to go away were years old.

Hi micmac74.
Mail crashed for no apparent reason.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Cant delete/show/configure exchange server

I know this is an old problem but non of the solutions discussed before solved my problem.
I cant configure exchange server.I cant even delete it.And when I try to delete iphone crashes and return to home screen.
I tried
-removing profile
-resetting all settings
-restarting device lots of time
-setting up profile on apple support site.
None of these solved my problem.I dont want to return backup to 3 months back.
So it must have a solution for that.

Also I tried to do that solutions in offline mode too..Nothing changed.
Any heelp?or maybe restoring from backup except mails etc?
