Iphone gmail/email question

Hello there,
I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me. I have two email accounts set up on my 3G iphone. The Gmail account is set up and works fine. I was wondering if there was a way to avoid my emails (sent, inbox or otherwise) to NOT be deleted from my account......but only deleted from my phone....if that makes sense? If I delete anything to do with Gmail on the phone, it also is deleted from the entire account. Is there a way around this?
When I use my standard pop3 account, I can delete all the emails on the phone when read or dealt with but they still come down on to my mac as normal. It's just the Gmail I was trying to figure out.
So: When deleted from the phone......I can still access them when at home online.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I asked something similar in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7758665#7758665) but it's still not working the way I need it to.
For me,I need to delete emails from the phone, but leave them on my server; I set it up as POP, but then all the emails I sent were also downloaded to the phone, and I send out about 100 emails a day, so that doesn't work for me. I deleted that and set it up as IMAP, but now, like you, when I delete a message from my iPhone, it no longer appears in my gmail inbox on my computer, it's in All Mail.
I don't have time to check different places for my mail--I had a Blackberry before the iPhone and it seemed so simple, so I need to figure out how to streamline it on the iPhone too!

  • Is there anyway to have your email sent from IPhone (gmail acct) question?

    I don't want it say my gmail email address (when sent)but would rather want it to display my work address...Is this possible?

    I have a gmail account where all my work emails are forwarded when I'm out of the office, so I associated my @work email to @gmail on the Gmail website. Then I setup the @gmail account as IMAP on the iPhone, using the following:
    +Name: Name+
    +Address: @work address+
    +_Incoming Mail Server_+
    +Host Name: imap.gmail.com+
    +UserName: @gmail address+
    +Password: Password+
    +_Outgoing Mail Server:_+
    +Host Name: smtp.gmail.com+
    +UserName: @gmail address+
    +Password: Password+
    When you send an e-mail it will appear as @work for recipients using web-based servers. The only problem is that if your recipient uses Outlook 2003 or 2007, they will see the from e-mail as "@gmail on behalf of @work".

  • Iphone 3gs email questions

    Hi all,
    I have an an iphone 3gs on Orange. My Internet provider is TalkTalk and I have a purchased private email address via names.co.uk
    I have set up the email address successfully I believe. But it appears that I can only send and receive emails at home?
    I can receive emails via mobile networks but not send ???
    Is this because of talk talk ... and do I need to configure an additional outgoing mail server.
    ALso ... I ve come via blackberry so fond of push email. I bought my wife an iphone3gs. She has configured a hotmail email, and for some reason, it seems that she gets alerted every time she has an email. where as I have to manually press the mail icon before I can check to see if I have mail. How I can I change this? or is this because I am using a purchased email address name???
    Thank you in advance for your technical cures. Please keep them idiot proof thank you so much.
    Best

    I have someone that wants to purchase my iPhone 3GS so I could put the money towards my new phone. If I do sell my phone during the time I wont have an iPhone period, will I be able to keep my data plan an a different phone? Even it's not a smart phone? And when I do get the iPhone 4 what must I do to transfer my plan to that phone?
    You can put your 3G S sim card in another ATT phone and it will automatically become your present number. Therefore, you can sell your present phone anytime you want. Just don't include the sim card with it. When you get your new phone (if you haven't done anything about requesting one of the new data plans), you should automatically get the same unlimited plan.
    The unlimited data plan is nice, but unless ATT changes their minds and allows tethering with the unlimited plan, I think it's of questionable value UNLESS you spend a LOT of time streaming video (read mlb.com or youtube) on a daily basis or streaming music (read pandora.com or sirius).
    For the present, I'm keeping my unlimited plan, but over the last 6 months, I'm only averaging about 1.5GB monthly. And that's mostly because I steam the Sirius App about 45-60 minutes daily while I'm walking. I would lean toward going with the 2GB plan IF ATT would kick up the monthly limit to say 5GB for tethering. I don't see myself doing a lot of tethering, but the 2GB would not cut the mustard for me unless I were to give up my Sirius App.

  • Mac book, iphone, and email question...

    Hi all, I am about to buy my first mac book and hopefully in the near future (after current service contract up... although I'm not 100% sold on AT&T) buy an iphone. I am also beginning to search for a new email provider since embarq will no longer be using earthlink. Knowing I'm moving to mac book and will likely soon have an iphone, I'm seeking suggestions for a new email service that will work best with those. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

    sorry, just hoping to get feedback from those in both the macbook forum and the iphone forum.

  • HT201320 iPhone and email question

    I have an iPad where i set up an apple email @me.com and now i purchased an iPhone but cannot seem to set up the same email address on the iPhone - any ideas?

    I may be wrong, since it's been so long since I did this, but I believe if you sign into iCloud on your iPhone with the same account you signed into on your iPad, it should set up an @me.com email.

  • IPhone 4s email question

    As of about a year ago, there was no way to set an email "rule" to create an alert on the iPhone by sender, subject line, etc.  Anyone know of any new developments, apps, etc. that would make this possible?

    Anything like the email rules you can set in the Mac email program?

  • Two Questions....New Iphone and Email Question

    Hi yall! I was wondering if anyone knew if Apple was gonna come out with a new iphone..something newer than the Iphone 4. The reason i ask is because im eligable for an upgrade now but when i bought my 3gs last year a month later they came out with the Iphone 4 but i couldn't upgrade to it. So this time i thought id check before i got the iphone 4 incase they were coming out with something new!
    2. is there a way to like color coordinate your calendar. everything is just a black dot and was wondering if there was a way to make things more personalized.

    I was wondering if anyone knew if Apple was gonna come out with a new iphone..something newer than the Iphone 4.
    I don't know for certain, but I venture to say Apple will come out with a new iPhone at some point.
    The reason i ask is because im eligable for an upgrade now but when i bought my 3gs last year a month later they came out with the Iphone 4 but i couldn't upgrade to it.
    The original iPhone was release in the summer of 2007.
    The iPhone 3G was released in the summer of 2008.
    The iPhone 3GS was released in the summer of 2009.
    The iPhone 4 was released in the summer of 2010.
    Based on this, it would be a fairly safe assumption that the next generation iPhone will be released this summer, but there is no way to know for certain until Apple makes an announcement.
    2. is there a way to like color coordinate your calendar. everything is just a black dot and was wondering if there was a way to make things more personalized.
    Which supported calendar app on your computer are you syncing calendars and calendar events with?
    With iCal on my Mac, I have two calendars - one personal and one business along with a US Holidays subscribed calendar. I have each calendar colored differently. The dot for a calendar event with each calendar matches the color for the calendar.

  • Iphone POP email question

    I have 3 emails on my phone that use POP as the IMAP has never worked with my Domain dervice.  One of my emails was giving me trouble in Outlook 2007 on my PC and I finally got it resolved.  But immediately after fixing that, my phone decided not to receive emails sent to the same email address.  My Domain company says its an apple issue. 
    Interestingly enough, when I get an email in Outlook on my PC, I immediately go to my phone to see if it downloads.  I can see the blue bar at the bottom downloading the email but it then disappears with no emails in that particular addresses inbox.  Anyone experienced this?

    Is there a setting within outlook that can leave the message in lace so that it has time to show up on the phone?  (Ie. Email Settings; Advanced ; "Leave a copyu of messages on the server"

    Go to your settings.

  • Make my regular email automatically forward to my iphone (gmail) account

    Question for Cox to answer. But why not set your iPhone up to grab the mail on your Cox POP (I assume) account? Just set it to leave msgs on the server so you can archive them later in your computer. That's what I do with Roadrunner (using AuthSMTP for sending -- $24/yr) and all replies from the iPhone appear as from my normal email acct. Plus I can use AuthSMTP for sending from my MacBook when traveling.

    I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts.  All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together.  I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists.  How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
    Thanks

    You can't merge iCloud accounts.
    You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

  • I have Imac (OSX10.6.8) and 6 days of emails that were in my inbox have disappeared. They've also gone from gmail server and my back up hard drive. But if I look at "All Mail" on my Iphone the emails are there!! Have I got settings wrong somewhere?

    "One of the benefits of Match, right?  Saving hard drive space."
    I would not use iTunes Match as a backup. There are too many bugs and I don't think that's what they intended it to be anyway. The main advantage of using it is to make your music available on OTHER devices, not to replace the music on your original computer.

  • EMail Questions

    Hey
    I can't wait 'till the iPhone hits Australia. And I want to set up my email and have it all sorted before I buy my iPhone. My question is which email provider should I choose. I am with Windows Live Mail at the moment and I'm happy with it but it's not the paid version (and I don't plan on paying). I am looking into setting up a gMail account. Can get some advice based on features, how easy it is to use, how easy it is to set up.
    p.s I don't plan on paying for any plus packages, just the basic free ones.

    Hi.
    Here is a visual tool from Gmail and iPhone. iphone can configure both IMAP and POP3 accounts.
    1. IMAP is more efficient, so here is the website:
    https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814
    2. Also, remember to select the function on Gmail (for IMAP or POP) when you are signed in. Here is the YouTube Video:

    Good luck

  • IPhone & Gmail

    My question has to do with syncing mail accounts between MacMail on my Macbook and my iPhone. It seems when deleting emails from a Gmail account on my computer, I also have to delete the emails on my iPhone. My other accounts sync automatically. (.mac and as well another IMAP account) Is this because gmail is a POP account?
    I wanting to know if there is a setting to change on my computer/iphone/gmail account to save a bit of time?
    As always, thanks for the help.

    Sounds like you created your Gmail account as a POP account with the email client used on your Mac for accessing the account. If so and you transferred the account settings for your Gmail account to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, your Gmail account is also being accessed as a POP account with the iPhone's mail client.
    If you manually created your Gmail account with the iPhone's mail client using the Gmail account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account.
    If you are using the Mail.app on your Mac for accessing your Gmail account, at the Mail.app menu bar go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
    Select your Gmail account. Under the Account Information tab for your Gmail account, what is shown as the account type?
    If a POP account, the only way to change the account type with the Mail.app is by deleting and recreating the account selecting IMAP as the account type when doing so.
    You can get the required account settings for accessing the account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac via Google's Gmail account website.
