IPhone deleting emails

When I delete an email on my iPhone 4, the email is also deleted from my server home page. When my wife checks her emails on her phone, as it updates, the message I deleted off my phone disappears off of hers.
Any way to just have the message deleted on my phone and not the account?
Thx in advance.

When you use IMAP it's a normal behavior. You can configure the account as POP to download the Mail to your iPhone, and tell Mail not to delete the Mails from the server.

  • Iphone deletes email by itself

    I have an iphone 3G and access my imap email account. All has been fine until this morning when all of a sudden the iphone deleted all emails that have been read on either the phone or the mac. They remain however on the mac in the email account inbox shown as being read.
    Cannot find any setting anywhere on the (phone) email account settings relating to this so would appreciate any ideas on what is going on and how to solve (revert) it.

    Thanks KiltedTim but no, they are fresh messages. Just received and read then, wham, gone and by gone i mean, gone, no trace of them. Not in trash or deleted

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • IPhone Deletes eMail message when moving to Draft Folder

    Hi, here's a nice bug.
    I repled to a message, but it failed to send it so it wnet into the Outbox automatically. I came back later and decided to move it to the draft folder. "Poof", the message is instead deleted. Nice feature, Apple.
    Anyone know where to submit bugs - is that the same place you submit suggestions 4 improvement?

    I called apple about this bug a few weeks ago. It is an error with any POP email accounts. You cannot move emails between folders, they dissapear. They are working on the problem they told me.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • My iphone 5 will not let me delete emails and open up certain apps like Keep safe and kicks me out of different apps

    My iPhone 5 will not let me delete emails. I trash them and they look like they are deleted and then they will load back in. I cannot open my Keep Safe app after the last update. It said I needed more storage so I upgraded and it still will not load. It opens for a second and then goes to home page.  FB is hit or miss if it will open and when it does it is really slow.  Any suggestions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Is there a setting where I can delete emails on all Apple machines at once (iPad, iPhone, Mac)?

    I would like to be able to delete my emails on my Ipad and have them be deleted on my Iphone and Macbook Air at the same time. I feel like I spend most of my time going from one machine to the other deleting emails that have accumulated. Is there a solution for this?

    I assume you have a POP account.
    For each device you have to change the Delete from Server setting.
    iPad & iPhone:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > Advanced > Delete from server...you can change this to when removed from ibox (or any other setting to suite your needs)
    MacBook:
    From Mail app  Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Advanced check "remove copy from server after retrieving" box then select your prefered option from the drop down box.

    I have a  macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
