Leave a copy of messages on server?

OSX6.8, Macmail 4.6 running in IMAP. How do I setup to leave a copy of messages on server, so that I can also read the emails on my iPhone? In POP I think there was an option in Prefs>account>Advance. With IMAP, it is replaced with "Keep Copies for offline viewing".
Thanks,
Tom

Never mind... I had a "rule" in Mac Mail moving thing to a folder "On My Mac" and when the rule moved the item on the Mac Pro it was causing the server to (correctly and logically) erase it. All better now :-)

  • Leave a copy of email on server - is this possible

    I'd like it if my email remained on my server after I've looked at it on my phone.  Anyone know if this is possible.  Thanks.

  • HT3228 How to Get iPad to Leave Messages on Server

    Trying to set up email on iPad, but use home computer as "main" email.  Therefore, want to leave copy of messages on the server when I check mail through iPad.
    Set up 2 email accounts on iPad through the "other" email account type, and told both to "Never" delete emails from server (Settings --> email account --> Advanced tab).  Yet every time I check for messages on iPad, it's still deleting the messages from the servers.
    I have mail app set up the exact same way on my iPhone, and iPhone works as expected... messages are still left on the server.
    Troubleshooting:
    - Have tried connecting to email server through both the WiFi and the AT&T 4G net (WiFi disabled), same results... iPad is still pulling messages off server.
    - Have deleted and re-created both accounts on iPad, still does not work as advertised
    - When I have the mail app open on the iPad and I click the "send/receive" button in Outlook 2010 on my home computer, I get an error message that the account is already "locked" and in use by another application.  I do NOT get this same error message when the mail app is open on the iPhone.
    Wondering if the iPad is defaulting to set up the account as a IMAP vs POP account (I do not get the option to choose this on the iPad like I do on the iPhone)?  If so, this is definitely something that needs to be fixed in the iPad app.

    Disregard.  After 3+ hours of troubleshooting, found iPad is working properly, leaving the messages on the main server.  Found that when I tried to download them to my laptop, they were getting intercepted by a SPAM filter.  I had tested the iPhone first, and the filter let those go through, but after that it decided the rest were SPAM.
    I hate feeling like a kriffing idiot.  :-)  Aargh!!!!

  • Yahoo Mail - settings to leave a copy on server

    new iPhone user, updated to 2.2. Added Yahoo mail and it seems to be syncing ok, although it 'feels' like I have random gaps of missing messages.
    I went through the steps of Yahoo mail setup.
    I did notice that if mail is downloaded/opened on my iPhone...the mail is no longer then in Outlook Express SMTP mail client.
    I should note that:
    My Yahoo account is upgraded to Mail plus so I can download/keep SMTP mail, not just web mail. Do I need to re-setup my Yahoo Mail manually as an SMTP account, and then will I get a server setting option to 'leave a copy on the server'? which is want I want.
    thanks!

    If you used the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account on your iPhone, the account was created as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client. There is no setting to leave messages on the server when downloaded by an IMAP account.
    If there are random gaps of missing messages, this is probably due to your account setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook, since you are accessing your Yahoo account as a POP account with Outlook. It isn't possible to access a Yahoo account as an IMAP account with an email client on a computer.
    Not sure why received messages with the iPhone's mail client are no longer available when accessing the account with Outlook since the received messages are not removed from the server with an IMAP account unless you delete the messages.
    If you want to access your Yahoo account as a POP account with the iPhone's mail client, you need to select Other instead of using the Yahoo account preset when creating the account.

  • Leave copy of email on server...

    To enable download of email to multiple email programs e.g. iPhone and Outlook please send this as an enhancement request...
    It needs to be a new advanced setting within each email account.
    "Toggle on:off : Leave copy of email on server."
    This is different to the option / function "deleting email from server" after download ...
    You would have noticed email received (not even read) on the iPhone will no longer be able to be download to other email programs as the server will have noted it has been downloaded. If the phone leaves a copy it is avaioable to download by another program.
    This will make using an alternative workaround of using MAPI instead of POP unnecesary.
    Rgds Steve.

    mbiphone,
    The iPhone leaves messages on the server by default.
    Outlook and Outlook Express do not.
    And it is the same setting, just worded differently. Delete from the server tells it when to remove it. If you set it to never, that means the iPhone will not remove it from the server. It is the same setting, but with more control.
    If you want to have the status of the message synced to the server IMAP supports this, and has a longer track record than MAPI.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
    NOTE: Google using POP3 and some other POP3 servers may remove them from the mailbox after it has been downloaded by one mail client, that is a server side setting. For Google you just need to add recent: before you user name to prevent that. However, you will get copies of your sent messages when using recent: This article in Google's Help section has more about it with GMail:

    Just found out that my intrnet service provider has an imap email set up and means that I cannot leave a copy of my emails on the server, correct?

    IMAP email is server based. All messages remain on the server and are viewed remotely when using an email client like Thunderbird. If you delete the message from a remote device it is removed from the server.

  • How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

    How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
    Pop account

    Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

  • Leave messages on server options checked automatically

    I have been using Thunderbird with two Godaddy email accounts for few years now. I always had for both accounts the option "Leave messages on server" checked, while "For at most" and "Until I delete them" unchecked. Today I've accessed one of the accounts via the web interface and noticed that only messages from the past 14 days had been left there. I've opened the settings in Thunderbird and noticed to my amazement that only in one of the accounts "For at most" and "Until I delete them" were magically checked. I'm sure I have not changed this myself (or any other setting recently), and I'm the only user of this PC. The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is the recent automatic update of Thunderbird.

    <blockquote>''The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is the recent automatic update of Thunderbird.''</blockquote>
    It is my opinion that settings do mysteriously change when Thunderbird updates. I don't think it's ever happened to me (but there again, I had to re-set some Saved Searches yesterday) but there is/has been much anecdotal evidence where a system that has worked previously suddenly doesn't work and is found to have illogical or inconsistent settings, such as SSL with the usual non-secured ports. Another is HTML vs plain text message composition, where users complain about the HTML formatting tools vanishing, and the message composition Toolbar hiding, leading to users complaining about the non-existent Send button, and so on, hinting at settings which have changed all by themselves.

  • Leave a copy of my email on server

    Is it possibly to leave a copy of my email on the server, when I syncronize my n8 wiht the mail server.
    Poul

    Open the Mail app. Press Settings and select the mail box you want to configure. Now press Account settings > Mail read staus set to Don't sync to server.
    So when you read your mail, a copy will be left on the server for you to retrieve.
    Hope that helps.

  • Does BOE leave a copy of a completed job on a server?

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to the Business Objects Enterprise. I only use it for report auto distribution to SMTP addresses. I noticed that the hard drive space is getting filled up and I suspect this is due to the BOE leaving a copy of a sent report in one of its folders. Am I correct? I understand that the BOE is storing the .rpt files that are needed for daily report generation.
    If I'm correct, am I able to delete these completed jobs within CMC?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Jack,
    Can you see the instances in the report history? i.e. in CMC click on object and click on history tab.
    If so, what you might want to do is set a global limit of x instances. So if you set the limit to 1, only 1 instance of each report object will be kept. You can also set a limit on a per folder basis e.g. diifferent limits for different folders.
    I wouldn't delete files out of your file store unless your output file store and the CMS have become out of synch and you are certain the files are no longer referenced by the CMS.

  • Delete message from server after download.

    Hi, I'm normally use to Gmail and so haven't used an email client in years.
    I have a .mac account and Mail is setup to check it.
    At the moment, when mail downloads new mail from the server, it still leaves a copy of the email(s) on the server.
    Instead what I would like it to do is, download from the server and then delete the copy on the server.
    ... is this possible?... and how do I do it?
    I'd appreciate any help at all.

    Hello Nick.
    If this is for your .Mac account, a .Mac type account is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way.
    You can create/access a .Mac account with the Mail.app as a .Mac, IMAP or POP type account and as an IMAP or POP type account with other email clients.
    If you plan on accessing your .Mac account with another email client or via webmail access on another computer, you may want to reconsider.
    If not, to change the account type of an existing account with the Mail.app requires deleting and recreating the account.
    If you want to save any sent messages with the account before doing so, create an "On My Mac" location mailbox and transfer all existing sent messages from the account's Sent mailbox to the user created "On My Mac" location mailbox. Deleting an account has no affect on messages that remain on the server.
    Delete and re-create your .Mac account selecting POP as the account type when re-creating the account.
    After doing so, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences will be the available settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded.

  • Mail: Delete message on server when I delete it in Mail

    Dear all,
    I just recently switched from Windows to Mac and especially from MS Outlook to Mail. In Outlook I can tell it to only delete a message on the server when I delete it in Outlook. This is very helpful, so that when I use WebMail I do not see all the junk mail messages and other emails I deleted. Now in Mail I do not seem to be able to do this. Any ideas ?
    Thanks,

    Go to Preferences, Accounts. Select the account you wish to configure. Click the Advanced Pane. Make sure the checkbox is checked for 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message'. In the drop down just below that, choose 'When moved from Inbox'. This will let you retrieve a copy of the messages to your Mac, leaving a copy on the server. As long as you leave the message in your Inbox, the copy will stay on the server. If you then delete your local copy, or move it out of the Inbox, the next time you retrieve new messages from the server, the messages you have moved will be deleted from the server. The key is that there has to be at least one new message to retrieve. This works for me most of the time, since by the time I process the messages I already have, and then check for new messages, there usually are new messages. If you have a mail account that is not that active, or you just want to remove the most recent messages from the server, use the Get Info method above.

  • Stop deleting messages from server

    since I updated to iOS5, when I delete messages on iPhone it deletes from my gmail server and I don't want it to, Help?

    I should say: it does leave a copy in "all mail" but deletes it from the inbox section so they are unavailable on my iPhone as soon as my laptop grabs it....

  • "Delete messages from server" Mail iPhone 5

    Hi, I am trying to locate "delete messages from server" option in Mail Settings on iPhone 5 and can't find it. In iPhone 4 it was just in the Advanced settings but it is not there in iPhone 5. Help please? Thanks

    Not sure who your email provider is. Mine is hotmail. When you set up email with hotmail on an iPhone 4 the delete from server never is available. I just got an iPhone 5, i reset up my hot mail account and can't find that setting either. I set it up by using the hotmail button not "other" so meaning delete your hotmail account from your phone. Then re set it up. But when you do add email account, don't use the button that says hotmail. Use the bottom choice that says "other". I have no idea why this is different but if you do this it will set up hotmail just the same. But now that setting is there. The "delete from server" and you set it to "never". Now when you delete the emails from your hot mail account on the iPhone, it leaves that email on the hotmail server. So when you look at email on the computer it's there still. It's good this way if you share email with someone.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you
