Mail disappearing form Iphone after viewing it on PC

Whenever I check email on my home PC, the email then disappears from my Iphone. I have a corporate email as well, and I don't have the problem with that one.
Can anyone tell me the settings that I need in order to keep email on my Iphone after I have checked it on my home PC?
Thanks,
3girlsmom

Sounds like the account is a POP account. If so and the email account provider for the account does not support accessing the account as an IMAP account - you can't create and access the account as an IMAP account if the email account provider does not support it, what is the account setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded with Outlook or with whichever email client you are using on your PC for accessing the account?

Mail disappears in iPhone after being read on Outlook

Hi all,
I have an IMAP mail configured on my Macbook Air and all the mails are directed to get to "ON MY COMPUTER". With this I can have the mail only in Outlook for Mac client and the moment mail is read on Outlook, it disappears from the mail client in the iphone
So any way I can retain the mails on the phone too?
Thanks in advance
Sh

So what do recommend? the IMAP mail box size is quite small. So if my IMAP mails were to remain on the server, it fills up. So the only solution is go BIG on mailbox?

Exchange Calendar Events Disappearing from iPhone after Editing

iPhone 6 running iOS8.
Exchange calendar events are disappearing from iPhone right after I edit them from my phone. But they are still visible on my MacBook in Outlook.
It used to happen very rarely but lately it has been happening very frequently. Haven't been able to find a pattern and re-create it.
Tried searching online for this issue. Found quite a few threads about calendar sync issues, including the GMT bug but haven't been able to find this exact issue that I have been facing.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem and it has nothing to do with filing or moving emails, for instance just before I logged in here to find a solution for the problem, I had just received and email on my iPad. I was reading it then clicked on a link. When I finished reading the link In Safari and went back to the email, it was gone. I have replied to an email then come back to it and it was gone. This had nothing to do with viewing the email on a ore device. This is a real problem I have asked about before and no one seems to know the answer.

Mail disappeared from iPhone Inbox

I was scrolling through my Inbox folder on the iPhone and I noticed several emails have disappeared. These are emails dated prior to two months ago (for all I know everything up until that date has disappeared but I specifically remember these emails because I kept them in for reference). They are not in my Trash folder. I have a Pop account. I do not have MobileMe. I have my iPhone set to leave mail on the server indefinitely after it retrieves it. I have it set to never delete mail from the iPhone trash folder. I increased, just for the heck of it, from 50 to 75 the number of emails it's suppose to show in the Settings. No change. Any idea what happened?

Emails disappear on iPhone after opening Outlook and viewing emails there

Hi everyone,
I have been scouring the net to see if anyone else has this issue and from what I'm seeing there seems to be no real concrete answer that I could find.
I just bought the iPhone 4 and what I was trying to do was sync my work email to my phone, which I was able to do successfully and it works great. The contacts, calendar, and emails sync just fine. I can also view all of my folders that I had set up in Outlook.
Because this set up so beautifully for me, what I tried to do was set up two other employees with the same thing.
They both have the 3GS model. I went in on their phone and used the Exchange method just as I had done on my iPhone 4, also using the same information (except for their user name and password for their email accounts of course).
The verification says that it went through fine but what we noticed was that when they open Outlook to view any of their emails, all of the emails on their iPhone disappear. Everything.
The other thing we noticed was that their folders were also not showing up on their phones, where as my folders were easily accessible on mine.
Overall, they can send and receive. Their contacts, folders, calendars don't sync, and emails disappear once Outlook is opened.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be happening and know of any solutions to stop the emails from disappearing on their phones?
(One of the guys has iOS 3.1.3 and the other guy has iOS 4.0.2 like my iPhone 4).
Thanks for any help!

Thank you diesel, I will have to find another way to tell my boss. Using the Yahoo account and iCloud method he could clear his iPhone of emails and know they would still be on his office computer. I guess he has a choice to make.
Thanks again, Louis

Smart playlists disappeared in iPhone after syncing

Is there a way to make my Smart Playlists reappear in Music? After recently syncing my iPhone, all of the smart playlists disappeared on the phone itself. The entire library is on the phone as well as playlists I created, but the standard smart playlists no longer appear in the index of playlists. In iTunes, they still appear in the device's contents. I just can't seem to get to them through the phone itself.

I have been having the same probelm. Tonight I right clicked on each playlist and chose the option "Duplicate" I then deleted the original. After doing this with each playlist the new duplicates sync with my iphone just like the old ones used to. Hope that helps.

Mail Disappears off iPad after I access my mail on Mac

I have a MacPro desktop, iPad, and iPhone, all tied together, all running the most recent updates. Recently, my iPad was acting up and not retrieving my mail on my main account. The other devices were (and continue to be) just fine. I deleted that mail account off my iPad, then added it back in. Email began behaving and getting delivered just like always EXCEPT if I then check email on my MacPro. Once I do that, all inbox email associated with my main account, both read and unread COMPLETELY disappears off my iPad. Even if the message is flagged, it is gone. Everything stays put on the Mac and the iPhone until I delete it or otherwise.
I searched these communities and thus far have tried shutting down all background apps, restarting (multiple times) and changed the delete messages setting to "never", which really should only matter to trashed messages, not those sitting in my inbox.
I checked the "server port" on my phone and compared it to the one on my iPad. They were different, so I put them both on the same one as the iPhone. The message showed up on the Mac and on the iPad, but as soon as I refreshed the mail (such as to update), **POOF** the message in my inbox was gone on the iPad.
I would be most appreciative if someone could offer me insight as to why this occurs and how I can fix it. Likely it is some squirrelly setting I haven't discovered yet, but I am hoping one of you geniuses out there can set me straight!
Thank you in advance~

Well, cripes. My husband just saved the day for me. We had to force the iPad to take a POP account. Here's how we did that:
Create a new mail account on the iPad with a bogus email address and a different name from your problematic IMAP account. In my case, I doubled up on a number that is part of my email address. Thankfully, nobody else had that email address
When the iPad refused to add the account because it was a bogus email address and came up with the error message, THEN it let me choose the ability to add a POP account.
I was able to edit out the extra number from the bogus email address to my true email address. I had to do this in three places: the main account name, the inbox info and the outbox info, and take out the "IMAP.xxxxx " part and replace it with the "mail.xxxxxx" entry that goes with my POP account (that was listed in the settings on both of my other devices that were behaving: the iPhone and the MacPro).
Now you should have two accounts for the same email address (with two different names) showing on the iPad. Go back through mail settings and "DELETE ACCOUNT" for the IMAP version that was screwing everything up.
Inbox messages should now stay on your iPad because it is using the same type of account the other devices are.
Apple, why in the name of all things good and electronic would you make it a default to IMAP without an obvious way to choose to do a POP? Good grief I had a week of stress over this whole thing and nobody else seemed able to figure it out either.

ICloud disappeared on iPhone after loading IOS 7

Music disappearing from iPhone after iTunes Wifi Sync

I have an iPhone 4S and a Mac Mini (2010). On four or five occasions since upgrading to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6, after a wi-fi sync, all or almost all of my music has disappeared from my phone (sometimes the most recent podcasts remain).
Simply syncing again (over wi-fi or USB) doesn't fix it. To fix it, I need to uncheck "Sync Music" and "Sync Podcasts" on the Mac, sync, recheck them, and sync again. Then it works for a while.
Additional context: like others, I've been experiencing other issues with wi-fi sync since installing iOS 6. In general, I can't initiate a sync from the phone, either manually or by plugging it in. I can sync from the Mac, but sometimes the Mac becomes unable to find the iPhone on the network. Turning off wi-fi and turning it back on again seems to fix this and allow the Mac to initiate a sync.
Shortly after installing iOS 6, I restored the iPhone and set it up as a new phone, hoping that would fix the sync connectivity problems (it didn't). More recently, I restored from backup. Didn't help.
Is anyone else experiencing the disappearance of the music? Any suggestions? Is it likely to be an iPhone problem or a Mac problem?
Thanks
Ben

The exact same problem has been happening on my iPhone as well. Very irritating. Drives me mad.
Although unfortunately I don't have a solution, I would like to ask you something. When you were setting up your iPhone, did you choose to restore from iCloud so that your iTunes purchased musics would fly into your decive?
The reason I'm asking this is that in my opinion, a conflict happens when making a Wi-Fi sync about deciding music storage so that an erase happens by itself. And it's probably a corner case so that it doesn't happen every time.
Also, as a side note, all the countless times I Wi-Fi synced my iPad, which was not iCloud restored, nothing like this never ever happened.

Emails get deleted from inbox after viewing them on iphone 5s

Hello all,
I've just upgraded to an unlocked (tmobile) iphone 5s 32gb w/ IOS 7.0.4 last week. (Unlocked / TMobile since i live/work in asia but previously lived in Texas)
Prior to that i had an iPhone 5 16Gb w/ IOS 7.0.4.
I've setup yahoo,gmail and outlook/hotmail without any problems. However my business email account which i've always setup with IMAP to view on my iphone, ipad and work laptop is having problems several days after using the iphone 5s.
What happens is that whenever I check my work email, i dont even get all but just a few of them, once those are read and i go back into my inbox they are removed and the whole inbox shows: "NO MAIL"
I've checked all settings and removed not jsut the work account but all mail boxes as well.
Made sure its all IMAP not POP on all devices.
Incoming/Outgoing mail servers are on, with host and username and password entered correctly.
Deleted Messages - Never removed.
Delete Server - Never
I've setup the new phone from a backup copy of my previous phone.
I've setup the new phone as NEW phone and still having same problems.
I've removed ALL mailboxes, rebooted and re-added them and still problems with work mailbox.
Never had a problem with mail on my iPhone 5 and current iPad is also fine.
Any Ideas?

You can configure it.
Go to : Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/your email account and click on the account on top of the screen. Click advanced. Scroll down to the bottom, and under "deleted messages" options are : one day, one week, one month, never. Based on your question you probably want "never".
Don't forget that if you get your emails through IMAP (you probably do), if your iPhone deletes the emails after one month, they will disappear from your laptop too... This is the price to pay to have your emails in sync between your iPhone and laptop, though.

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

I can't access mail on my iphone 5 after updating to 8.1.3

After updating to 8.1.3, I can no longer see my email in mail on my iphone 5 once I click on a message -- I get the heading of the email but the body of the email is blank. Any suggestions? I've already tried deleting and reentering my email accounts but the problem persisted. Thanks!

Silly question but have you tried restarting your phone? Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release.
