Iphone emails deleting problems

My iphone is synced to my main email account so I receive emails on both, I've received a very big file with an attachment of nearly 20Mb! I now can't delete this email as every-time I do it crashes my phone. The screen either goes black then back to desktop or it just wheels around 'checking for mail' then crashes. Any thoughts?

True but then what's the point of using the mobile device then I never had issues till the new iOS came out

Did opening iphone email delete my emails?

So here's some strangeness.
I use Thunderbird for my email, and have all settings set to NOT delete any emails - leave them on server til I delete, etc. I had a meeting coming up and emailed my client for her phone number. She didnt' reply in time, so I opened the email up on my iphone in case it came through en route to the meeting. After getting back to the office, I turned off the iphone email (rendering the state back to 'inactive').
Upon sitting at my desk and going back to Thunderbird (which was open the whole time) to find an older email, I see that my inbox only has emails from early August til now. I know I didn't delete anything, and was confused where these emails may have gone. Upon further investigation, I can see that the inbox has only 50 emails in it. I open the app on the iphone and see that it states 'show 50 most recent messages'. I figure this must have some connection to what I'm seeing in Thunderbird, but no idea why it affected my laptop email - or my email in general. I change the iphone setting to 200, but nothing changes on the phone or the macbook. I log into my webmail via my host - and there are only 50 emails in my inbox online.
So.. my conclusion is that somehow turning on the iphone email deleted everything that was past the '50 newest message mark'. But this confuses me since I have nothing set to delete, and how can the phone, which I assume is only meant to sync, have the ability to delete right off my server?
Any help would be appreciated. While I'm sure I will be fine (and I have a computer at home I need to check which runs backups) I have no clue why this may have happened at all and if it's reversible.
Cheers,
Dave

If it's a POP3 email account, POP downloads messages from the server and deletes them once downloaded.
POP3 is largely obsolete and it does NOT handle synchronization and access by multiple devices well.
I'm guessing what happened was that you downloaded the contents of the inbox to the phone, which deleted them from the server.
Switch to IMAP if your email provider supports it. If they do not... honestly, I'd find a new email provider.

PAGE 46 - note the section that starts "Reset Iphone":
"If something isn’t working right, restarting, force quitting an application, or resetting
iPhone will likely solve the problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your ﬁnger across the slider to turn oﬀ iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn oﬀ iPhone or if the problem continues, you may need to reset. A reset
should be done only if turning iPhone oﬀ and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
Force quit an application: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone
for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button
until the application quits.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Email delete problems

When I check emails on my phone and delete them, they no longer delete off other devices like my iPad and laptop. And vice versa...if I delete emails from my iPad, I now have to manually delete the same emails off my phone. This is happening to my yahoo account. Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions on how to resolve?

In addition to this problem, It seems when I delete an email on my Bionic, it just comes back later in the day. I got emails yesterday from September. This started happening with the new update we got last week.

IPhone email password problem

I have changed my email password on my iMac, iPad and iPhone. My mail works perfectly on all these devices except the iPhone, which will not let me send any emails. I can't figure out why. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Try retyping your password in:
Settings<Mail, contacts, and calendars
Tap on the account
Tap on your email address
Go to outgoing server
Go to primary server
Delete and retype in the password

IPhone email sending problems

I have manually set up my email account on my iphone. I can send and receive messages just fine when I am at home using my wireless network. However, when I am not home and I try sending email via Edge or a WIFI hotspot, I get an error message saying my message cannot be sent. I can, however, receive mail. My ISP is Charter, a local cable tv and internet service. According to Apple's Article #305634, the problem may be with the port settings. As suggested in the article, I called Charter and they told me that port 25 is not blocked. If port 25 is not blocked and I can send/receive fine at home, why can't I send over Edge or at a WIFI hotspot? Thanks for any help.

Sure. Once you have your GMail account, make sure you enable POP access, and configure it to leave messages in your inbox when accessed via POP. You do this from the GMail screen (from your main computer browser after you've signed up for the account and logged in), then go into Settings, Forwarding and POP.
Then go to your iPhone, click on Settings, Mail, New Account, Other. There you can enter your name, your Charter email address, and an account description (like Work Email).
Next, enter your incoming server address. Unless you've forwarded your email from your Charter account, you need to enter your Charter account incoming server information, along with your Charter ID and password.
Next, enter your outgoing server address. Here, you will enter smtp.gmail.com, your new GMail ID and GMail password. Hit save, and you should be good to go! Go back to the home screen, hit the Mail button, and send out a test message to see if it works.
In my experience, setting up the GMail outgoing server automatically sets up the SSL settings, so you do not need to go back into Advanced options for anything. If it doesnt work, go back into Settings, Mail, Work Mail (or whatver you called the account), and advanced. Your outgoing server should have SSL turned ON.

Email deleting problem

Just had my Pearl 9100 relaced under warranty due to an audio problem, however on my old phone when deleting emails I had three options:
Delete
Handset Only
Handset and Server
Cancel
Set up email on my new phone and it will not give me the the same option, I only get:
Delete Item
Cancel
If I restore my phone to a previous back up it reverts back to the three options but only last a couple of hours before returning to the two options
Any ideas as what I am doing wrong, how can I keep the three option delete?

Odd. Are you on a personal BIS BlackBerry Internet Service account or an employer-provided BES enterprise account?
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Now, check that reconcile setting screen again?

Iphone emails deleting on there own

how can i stop emails from deleting automatically on my iphone?

What type of account - POP or IMAP?
Are you also accessing this account with an email client on your computer - such as the Mail application and if so, are you accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account with the email client on your computer?

E52 email delete problem

While on other Nokia phones (such as N97), on trying to delete a received email, an option appears asking "delete ONLY PHONE" or "delete from Phone AND SERVER", on E52 there is no such option.
As a result, if user is out of office and deletes the received messages, then the messages are deleted not only from phone but FROM SERVER too
I already lost valuable emails this way, cause I retrived them on my E52 being out of office, then deleted them and when I went back to office all emails were missing from the server.
I cannot believe that Nokia did not imply this option to such a business phone as E52.
Do I miss something?
Any answer from official person and/or users who faced the same problem?
Thanking in advance for your replies,
Konstadinos

Thank you for your quick reply.
Unfortunately, when I read a mail on my E52 and don't delete it from the phone, when I return to my office and retrive my mails on outlook, it does NOT show as read.
Furthermore if I delete it on the phone, it does NOT go to the deleted folder of outlook.
In case that I mark all messages on the phone as "unread" (after reading them) and then delete them from the phone (E52), then when I return to office and connect to outlook, all deleted messages do NOT appear either to the incoming or to the deleted mail folder.
My concern is why Nokia did not imply on E52 the same mail delete method as in N97 (asking if user likes to delete it only from phone or both from phone and server).
This becomes a great problem, when the mailbox service is a gmail, or hotmail one, where each time you connect to your mailbox from the phone, it retrives EVERY mail residing in the incoming mail folder and if you make the mistake to delete any of them, it permanently dissapears from the mailbox

Iphone email sending problem

I cannot send an email. I get the message "A copy has been placed in your outbox. The sender address ** was rejected by the server." How can I correct this?

I am having this exact same issue. Was there ever a resolution? It seems that I can reply/forward emails that do not have attachments, but if I try to forward an email with an attachments, I get the same error. "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. No password provided. Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password."
My password is already entered in the outgoing server, I have checked it multiple times as well as deleted and re-setup the account, in addition it does send out some emails just not all of them. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks.

Email delete problem

When I try to make my email read, there is a long pause (3 to 5 minutes) before it changes from unread to read and I can move to the next one. I have tried rebooting by pressing the home button and pause but it didn't help. Please advise

This is how to reboot the iPad. You have to hold both buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen and them you can let go of the buttons.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You can also try quitting the mail app completely and restart the iPad. See if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Deleting iphone email does not delete from computer

I am sure I must be missing something simple here....When I delete email from my iphone, it does not delete from my computer (either remotely or by syncing). So when I delete a bunch of emails, the very next time I open iphone email, it retrieves the very same emails just deleted....a viscious cycle. Can anyone assist with what must be a simple setting issue? Thank you.

Nathan C:
Thank you for your help.
When .Mac is configured using the .Mac option on the
iPhone it is always configured as IMAP. For that
account, on your computer are you checking the
messages via POP3, and on your computer, which
program are you using to check those messages?
.MAC Account - Home Computer: Under Mail/Preferences/Accounts it lists the Comcast account (from our ISP) as a POP and the .Mac account as ".Mac". I access mail thru Mac Mail Application and sometimes thru .mac thru the internet. Update on this account- I cleared the inbox and tried another test. Now it seems to be working. I delete a message from iphone and it will automatically delete from my home computer Mail App. and eventually it will be deleted from the .mac server when accessed thru the internet (these take much longer however). In any event it seem this account works now.
Work Account:
As for your work account, when looking at the
settings, it should say POP3, IMAP and Exchange at
the top. The button that is "pushed" is the one that
account is using. The outgoing server should
probably be smtp.comcast.net not smpt. Is that
account using IMAP, POP3, or Exchange?
I know these three options were there when the IT person set it up but now when I access this account in my iphone it does not tell me what was selected (IMAP,POP, or Exchange) under account information??? It seems to appear only when setting up a new account. Am I missing something?
Also that was a typo. Outgoing server is listed as "smtp.comcast.net"
So to give you as much info as I have:
Incoming Mail Server is "Mail.(officeservername).com" and Outgoing is "smtp.comcast.net". (Using my Comcast ISP was the only way the IT person could get the email access from Iphone to work). And to calrify what is happening on the iphone:
1.Email is accessed no problem from iphone, - downloading all new message from my work outlook works fine.
2.When I delete messages on my iphone, however, it does not delete on my office computer which is on a server network. (Visa Versa does work - when I delete a message on my computer it will delete it on my iphone.
3.NOTE : Contrary to what I posted earlier my iphone now is NOT "RELOADING" messages just deleted from Iphone but which remain on my office computer. This means half the problem is solved.
4. THE ONLY THING LEFT TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW DO I CONFIGURE SO WHEN I DELETE A MESSAGE ON MY IPHONE I AM DELETING ALSO FROM MY Computer at work?
(BTW in the above description I am referring to all wireless operation...not when syncing with iphone)
Any final helpful thoughts? Thanks again.

Email Not Being Deleted From iPhone When Deleted On Other Devices...

This seems to be the opposite of what most people are asking...
If I delete an email on any device (iPhone, Mac Mail on desktop, web interface), it get’s moved to the proper trash folder on all those devices. The deleted message is syncing properly which means my IMAP settings are correct (i.e, if I delete the message on my Mac using Mac Mail, it will show up in the trash folder on the iPhone). However, when I “empty trash” on my desktop, the trash is not removed from my iPhone but it is removed from the server and Mac Mail.
And conversely, if I delete the email from the trash on my iPhone, it is deleted from all my other devices.
Why isn’t the email getting removed from my iPhone when deleted on other devices?

Delete the account from the device then set it up again.
Does the problem continue? If so, address it with the Exchange Administrator.

Iphone email problem-has anyone had a problem caused by the VPN app, Hotspot Shield?

Has anyone had an iPhone email problem associated with the VPN app, Hotspot Shield?

I just want to make a record for the Apple Community. After installing Hotspot Shield on my iPhone 5, I developed a host of email problems including erratic reception and recurrent failures to send emails. I called Apple Support and, after standard repair measures failed (like deleting email accounts and reinstalling them) was advised to try deleting Hotspot Shield.
Removal of Hotspot Shield was unexpectedly difficult (simple deletion of the icon that works with other Apps did not suffice). With the help of Apple Support, the Hotspot Shield app was finally eradicated. The result was that all the email problems disappeared.
Again, I just wish to make this record of iPhone email trouble clearly caused by Hotspot Shield available in case someone else runs into the same problem. I did not contact Hotspot Shield but the point is that I began with an email problem that was mysterious to Apple Support and we finally traced it to a recent installation of Hotspot Shield.

HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.
