Is there a way to NOT delete emails everywhere using IMAP?  Emails come to all devices, iPhone 6, iPad, and Outlook (2010).  If I delete in my iPhone it deletes everywhere else also which I don't want it to do.

Outlook 2010 with Time Warner as my internet provider.  Had to switch from POP3 to IMAP and now when I receive messages and delete them from my phone they delete from my server, Outlook and iPad.
I want to keep them on my desktop in Outlook so I have them and I want to delete them from my phone so I'm not using up space.
I have tried changing the settings on my phone - deleted items go to trash and that worked one time then when I deleted another message it deleted on all devices.
HELP!

The iOS mail app does not have localized folders (and frankly I don't know of any third party apps that do either).

Tried what exactly, what what expectation and what out come?
Outlook on Mac and windows, when not used with an exchange mail system, typically allows for creating local folders (or at least used to). Once you move a message into a local folder, you can delete it from the server. It will then only appear on the desktop computer. You do have to make sure what you are creating and using is a local (on this machine) folder.
However, unless you have sizable attachments - and choose to download then - email messages will not use substantial storage space on an iOS device.

This makes no sense to me why they would set it up like that.  I can't believe that people don't want to save e-mails on one device and keep them on another device.  Have to wonder who came up with this not so great idea!
Actually IMAP (and exchange, for that matter) is specifically and intentionally design to do just the opposite. The vast majority of user want their mail inboxes to be consistent across all access devices. You are very much in the minority.

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • While downloading software update for Itunes, getting message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do.  Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector.  Help!

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

  • Pop up is in safari from a third party website and won't let me do anything in safari unless I click on it. I don't want to click on it because it is probably a virus.  I hae tried restarting safari and also the computer, but it's still there.

    Thomas' answer is the preferred technique. Sometimes, these pop-ups will block you from quitting Safari. In that case, press option+command+esc, select Safari, and Force Quit. Then, use the shift key with Safari when relaunching it, per Thomas' suggestion.

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.

    Jay is guessing that you mean outgoing messages. If you mean incoming messages, you can "flag" them: *Message > Mark > As Flagged*. This is also in the contextual menu.
    You can also color-code messages: *Format > Show Colors*. However, you can not sort or search on color.
    For even more control, there are several third-party add-ons. (These are on my To-Try list. I have not used either of these.)

    Note: "Format > Show Colors" does not allow coloring of the index entries in the mailbox itself, as far as I can tell.
    Flagging is better than nothing and I will use that for now.

  • How to disable Mozilla yellow strip, reminding us constantly to "update a plugin", which we don't want to update. Details (RE: Flash) below: bobgorg@ymail

    Hello, how to disable the long horizontal Mozilla yellow strip, popping up and reminding us constantly to "update a plugin", which we don't want to update.
    Disabling the ones below:
    1/ plugins.update.notify User;true
    2/ plugin.scan.plid.all;true
    3/ dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false
    either does not help or disables completely Flash! What else to do with this ultra annoying "Update plugins" reminder, as we want to keep the older version 10 of Flash? We just do not want Flash v. 11 - it takes huge amount of CPU, while Version 10 works fine for all 'you tube" and "etc"... videos. No need for V.11. (Let us worry about viruses and security) But here it comes the so annoying Mozilla reminder to upgrade to Flash Version 11 - the yellow strip also takes screen space under the address bar. Please help. Very annoying - almost ready to switch to other browsers if this issue is not resolve. Other than that, the Mozilla 14 is great. Congratulations to all designing it. Thanks in advance. Bob

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

  • How can i have a different Apple ID for my 2 iphones, currently both are having the same Apple IDs and all data is getting sync which i don't want to happen?

    Hi Currently having single Apple ID for my iPad, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Can i have a separate Apple ID for my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. At the moment since the apple id are same the contact are getting sync between the 2 phones which i don't want to be in Sync.Will having two separate apple ID solve the issue or is there any setting that i need to make.. Pls suggest
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Yes, you can certainly create a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com (which will have to be associated with a different email address from your current ID) and then change the various settings and applications on one of your iPhones to use this new ID.

  • I have 2 apple IDs, one for Itunes, one for Icloud.  Have forgotten pasword for icloud ID.  When i try change password it invites me to change password on my other ID, which I don't want to do. How can i change the password?

    I have two apple IDs.  One is used for most things - Itunes, Apps.  The other is the Icloud apple ID which I set up separately when I got my Ipad.  I decided to keep them both as I was worried about losing info.  However, on updating my Ipad to IOS7, it asked for a password for Icloud apple ID which I have forgotten.  I have tried to reset it.  The first time, Apple sent me a link inviting me to change the password on my Itunes apple ID which I don't want to do.  So I tried to sign in again using the Icloud ID.  Rather than asking for email verification this time I asked it to verify security information.  It asked for my date of birth which I gave, but it was rejected.  So I seem to have no way of resetting the password for the Icloud apple ID.  I know I can't merge the 2 IDs so i don't know what to do now!!

    Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
    If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • Is there a way of not having to type in my password when i turn my macbook on?

    Is there a way of not having to type in my password when i turn my macbook on? Can i turn this off in system Preferences?

    Yes but that a bad idea.
    System Preferences, Users and Groups, click the Lock Icon and type in your password, click on Login Options, then in Automatic login set it to your user name.
    But as I said above that is a very bad idea. Anyone that turn on your computer would then be logged into your account, can read all your files and make changes to lock you out. Also in the duture when you may need to enter a password do do something you may forget what your password is.
    Good Luck.

  • Is there a way to not load images in safari? Like on android you can tick a box to load images or no to the internet?

    Is there a way to not load images in safari on ios 7 like in android there is
    The option to load or not load images?

    My reply here was specific for this thread, but as you noted, I didn´t read careful enough. I wrongfully took for granted that issues in the More Like This box was platform dependent. I tried to apolgize accordingly, I would like to see the post deleted, but that doesn´t stop you from policing obviously.
    And instead of arrogantly replying about matters irrelevant for this thread, maybe you should start reading more carefully yourself. The posts you are referring to are related to large images failing to load properly in Safari 7. This is not as you claim "vaguely related". Take this elsewhere if you have a problem with it.
    Again, sorry for messing up the thread.

  • Disable / Hide Portal PCD roles which we don't want to display in UME.

    Hi Friends,
    I have configured ESS/MSS setup in our Portal;
    Step 1)   
        a) We downloaded ESS/MSS business packages from SAP Market place
        b) Deployed into our Portal.
        c) I have checked in Portal Content Administration; ESS/MSS PCD objects i.e. Roles,Worksets,Pages and iViews were created inside the SAP Standard folder.
    Step 2) As per my client recommendations u2013
       a) We donu2019t want to use PCD objects directly from SAP Standard folder and we will keep those PCD objects as backup. So,
       b) We created Client folder ex: xxABC inside Portal Content.
       c) I copied ESS/MSS PCD folder from SAP Standard Folder and Pasted inside folder xxABC; and then we customized Roles and worksets based on our requirements.
    Step 3) Role assignment to Users
          When I search for ESS/MSS roles like u201CEmployee Self-Serviceu201D and u201CManage Self-Serviceu201D I am able to see each role twice u2013 one is from SAP Standard folder and another from client folder which I was copied.
    So,
    1) I donu2019t want to display ESS/MSS role which is inside of SAP Standard folder in UME(role search).
    2) I donu2019t want to delete the role from this folder.
    I got an Idea that is u2013 disable/hide Portal PCD roles which we don't want to display in UME while role search.
    Please advise me, Is there any feature to disable/hide PCD roles in SAP Portal?
