Leaving copies of emails on Gmail server when sync...

Hi
After fiddling with the Nokia Email app (for 5800XM), it now seems to sync completely with the server.
e.g. if I delete an email after downloading to phone, it deletes from my Gmail account (on the web)
It didn't used to do this, and this was the behaviour I preferred.
How can I re-initiate this ?
thanks

The email widget does not sync immediately sometimes.  I find that sometimes there is a delay when I delete the email before it syncs with the server.  From my own observations, it appears that the syncing happens when you receive a new email.  If you delete an email from your phone, it will not sync immediately and the email will remain when you check the gmail server.  Then once you receive a new email in your account, it will then start to sync and delete the email from the gmail server.

  • Thunderbird 31 - IMAP - leave copies of emails on server

    Does anyone know how to set up Thunderbird 31 so that it leaves a copy of emails on the server? I'm using IMAP not POP. thx

    IMAP email is server based. The emails are always on the server and this is why there is no check box in Thunderbird options to leave messages on the server with IMAP.
    With IMAP you are just remotely viewing the messages on the server. I am guessing that you delete the message you are viewing on your computer and then wondering why it is gone from the server. That is how IMAP works.

  • Just got 4G, email removed from server when read

    hi,
    i just got the iPhone4G and setup all my email accounts with no problem, BUT i dont want any emails marked "read" on ther server when i read them on my iphone, but thats exactly whats happening.....anything i can change to stop this? marking unread does not work.....i have aol and gmail accounts....and tested marking unread on iphone, does not re-appear in inbox on aol....bummer, any advice?
    thanks!

    Normally email read on the phone will still appear on another computer, UNLESS you selected 'Remove from server' in the mail settings. Depending on whether the mail is POP3 or IMAP it may or may not be marked "read" on the server. POP3 will not be, IMAP will. But with IMAP it will still be there unless you delete it on the iPhone.

  • Sent email through Gmail server.

    I have Coldfusion 9 and I wonder if it is possible to send emails you have in the queue every second.
    Currently we send mail through Gmail server and you do not need classified as Coldfusion send spam emails with an interval of one second each.
    Anyone can help me?

    I will look at the settings in her gmail in a web browser. I assumed there was really only two way for one server to get emails from another.
    1. Charter is set to foward all emails to Gmail and keep the email on Charter's serve too. (not what is happening here)
    2. Gmail somehow reachs into Charter's server and downloads the mail to gmail. I suppose there would be options to leave the email on Charter's server. (But that doesn't explain why Charter's server doesn't keep the original email).
    But instead what is happening here seems to be that gmail reachs into Charter server, hijacks the email and somehow deposits the hijacked mail back to Charter after it performs gmails rules.
    Never having used the "unified" Andoid option (and I assume that was how it was done) I would have assumed the unified system would poll from mail from all accounts and put it into one box. But that doesn't seem to be happening here. But maybe they didn't do it from the phone but from the gmail web instead changing Charter's mail to gmail by taking the mail before Charter puts it on the server?
    Here is what I want for her. Her phone would poll Charter and Gmail and put all emails in a common folder on the phone without Gmail modifiying the email sent to the Charter's address. Of course if the email was being put on the Gmail server then I would expect gmail to apply their own rules... but not to the email left on the Charter account.
    Anyway I thank you for your response and will check her Gmail web setup.
    BTW I'm in over my head here. :-)

  • How to keep email on AOL server when mirror email on Mail is deleted?

    I linked my AOL account to Mail.app (on my MacBook) via IMAP protocol using the AOL Service Assistant. I understand that under this protocol, the emails on my IMAP is a mirror image of what is on the AOL server and vice versa. Hence if I delete any messages in Mail, it is also deleted on the AOL server. Is there any way that I can delete the message in Mail but have it remain on the AOL server?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    MacBook (Black) 1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    iBook SE (Firewire) 466   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    Hi DawnMaple!
    I don't use Apple Mail, so I can't directly answer your question, but even if there is a procedure to do what you want, after a certain amount of time, I think it may be about seven days, AOL will still remove the Emails from the server,
    If you want to retain all of your AOL mail, you can do it with the AOL software, if it is installed.
    Open AOL Preferences > Mail.
    Select Save the mail I read & Save the mail I send.
    Then still in AOL Preferences, use the scroll bar to navigate to Filing Cabinet, and click on that.
    Checkmark Automatically delete items in my filing cabinet, and in the contextual menus, below Delete after, select Never.
    Click on OK.

  • How do i leave a copy of a message in the inbox on the gmail server when I delete it on my iphone?

    I am sure this has been worked out, just cant get it myself.
    I have a freind who uses gmail and keeps all his history of messages in his inbox.  I have explained to him that its prob not the best thing to do, but that is how he has been doing it.  He is thining of getting an Iphone and moving from BB.  But he wants to know for sure that when a email message comes into his phone and he deletes it, on the server its still will be in his inbox.  Apparantly this is a function he currently has and its a make or break issue for him.
    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    So even though he can see everything he's ever gotten in All Mail, he still wants in in Inbox?  I realize the how to do it is a little bit of a stumper and it shouldn't be so difficult... but honestly, I think the more relevant question would be Why? Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?
    How does his Blackberry currently access his Gmail account? It should be a simple matter to duplicate the settings. It's undoubtedly just using POP and not deleting the originals as they are downloaded.
    Here's what's going to happen if that's the case. The very first time he sets up a new device... phone, pc, doesn't matter, to use POP, it's going to download every e-mail he's ever gotten unless he goes in and tells Gmail otherwise.

  • Failure to send email using gmail server

    I am using gmail account and I use thunderbird to download all the emails and to compose my emails. Now I'm trying to write a java application that will send out emails. Since I'm still in school I am using gmail account for the class project.

  • Mail can't receive email from Gmail server even it knew

    I have an account in Gmail and I set up a POP account in Mail, and it works! But that's was last week time, now I can't receive any new mail but I still know I have. Why? Mail always alerts me that "You've new mail". When I check the "Get Info" of Inbox, it showed me that I have about 20 emails that are not download yet. I keep on clicking "get new mail" & wait, but no mail is show up! Things I tried:
    - restart my Mac.
    - reset up my account by checking "receive all mail" in Gmail settings.
    - del my recent account & create again.
    - send an email to myself.
    But it doesn't work.

    Sometimes Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require removing one or more messages from the server.
    You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them — and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • How do I setup my iPad 5 to leave my e-mail on the server when I delete it from my inbox on my iPad?

    I have an iPad 5, when I read my mail and then delete it from my inbox it also deletes it from the server.  How do I set it so that the message remains on the server?

    You don't have anything under Advanced between the Move Discarded Messages Into section and the S/MIME section?!
    I have 2 sections in between:
    Deleted Messages> Remove > how long before deleted messages are removed from the trash
    and
    Incoming Settings > ...
    Sorry I do not know why you would not have those sections, especially the Deleted Messages section as this applies just to the Mail app and the Mail trash mailbox
    the stock answer when puzzled is to suggest a Reset of your iPad:
    hold both the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Let go promptly when you see the Apple logo.  Wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to restart itself.  No data will be lost.
    see if that changes anything so that those sections reappear in your settings.
    You could also try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings ... I don't know enough about that to know if it will help, but it will mean you have to go back and fix all your settings afterward

  • How to delete all mail in IPAD 1 and keep mail untouched in Gmail server.

    How can I delete IPAD1 mail while keeping original mail at the server ? The problem is that when removing mail from my GMail account on my IPad1 the original is also removed from the Server. I want to free thousands of mails listed on my IPad Google account saturating and congesting my tablet but without deleting the original emails at the server. Sorry to repeat. But I want my problem be clearly stated.However I would like to receive a copy of the mail I get in the server, so that I can trash everyday's copies without touching my Gmail account at the server.  Maybe I have been redundant, please excuse me.  Cheers !!!  DavidSpartacco

    It has been some time since I used POP3 on my iPad, it is just not a very good way to manage email between multiple devices. There is no check mark to simply change the Gmail account from IMAP to POP on the iPad. You will have to delete the account from the iPad removing all the email already stored on it. Once you have changed the server settings at Gmail you have to re-create the account on the iPad. Now that it is POP3 you should have a setting in the iPads settings to not delete the emails from the server when deleting them from the iPad. Once the new account is created on the iPad all the email on the server will download again and have to be deleted from the iPad. You will have to reset other devices as well, although Gmail may be able to handle both settings at the same time but they may conflict.
    For your use, you may simply want to just use Gmail through Safari where you will be viewing your email directly from the server through the web browser. No messages are stored on your iPad, they are all managed on the server through your web browser. There is also a Gmail app available which may also leave all the messages on the server although I have not experience with the app.
    When I had an email account set to POP3 I had the iPhone and iPad set to not delete messages from the server when I deleted them from the device. I had my home computer set to remove them from the server when they were deleted from there. It does work although each device is independent, reading a message on 1 device would not mark it as read on the other device. I ended up having to administer the email on 3 different devices even though they were the same account.

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

  • My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac.  When I try to delete them, they keep coming back.  They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

    My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them.  When I do, they just come back.  Frustrated ...

    This is a Gmail issue.
    It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this.  When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac.  However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
    There are 2 solutions to this:
    1)  If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP.  You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
    2)  From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails.  Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
    This is not something Apple can address.  It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

  • 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.

    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:

  • How to leave emails on the server in os7?

    Where is the option to leave a copy of all emails on the server on Iphone os7 when using IMAP accounts?  It used to be under settings, advanced, but in os7 I can't find it anywhere? all my emails downloaded to my iphone are deleted from the server and I need it to stop.

    Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.

  • Receiving numerous copies of emails sent from gmail account

    I have my Blackberry 8830 set up to receive emails from my personal gmail account.  When an email is sent on my MacBook from our gmail account to another person, I will receive numerous copies of that email -- partial messages as it is being typed, sometimes if it is a lengthy email I will get 30-40 partial copies of the message as it is being typed.  This only happens when messages are sent on our MacBook.  Any suggestions? 

    It sounds as if when gmail is performing the periodic auto-save that it is treating like a sent email from your Mac to the gmail server.  As each time the gmail server gets the "partial" it is being treated as "new".  Bizarre.  First time I have heard of this type of problem.  Check to see if you can either turn off or change gmails auto-save intrrval and see what that does.  Macs....what can you say?  LOL
