Mail messages (inbox) on my Iphone 4S are being mysteriously moved to trash!

I recently purchased an Iphone 4S.  When I open the Mail Inbox on it, messages are downloaded from my Yahoo Mail service, and according to my settings remain on the Yahoo server until my Mac Mail is used and downloads them, at which point they are deleted from the Yahoo server.  With the new Iphone, if I subsequently go to that Iphone Inbox, the messages that were in my Inbox (whether read or not) are now in the Trash.  It appears that the only messages that the Iphone Inbox will show are those that reside on the Yahoo server. I do not have any ICloud or other remote syncing services.  Any idea how to get back to what I used to have (with my Iphone 3GS) which keeps the phone mailbox as is, and I control when to delete/move messages?

It is most definitely not terrible.  Today I did not get any emails but I think it was because of your original answer of needing to activate the "Push" feature, (My GF helped with that) and now it's more of a theoretical question.  I always thought/assumed, perhaps naively, that my smart phone was constantly "roaming" for data including my email, such as my Wi-Fi connected laptop and open gmail account does.  I did not realize that there was a delay, or "check time", in recieving messages. Certainly not a big deal and I am hopeful and confident that this will resolve my confusion.
Thanks so much

  • Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages.  I have a new cell device, and this is happening on the new device also.  The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider.  How do I end this?

    Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages.  I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also.  The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail.   How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS? 
    Thanks.

    Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account?  Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms. 
    I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access web mail, you need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • Strange Mail Message after download to iPhone

    After 4 message download with photos, hyperlinks, and text, the fifth (5th) message reads "This message as not been downloaded from the server". I have a 4 Gig iPhone. I've reset, removed, and re-installed my mail account (cox webmail).

  • Gmail sent messages are being continously moved to Outbox in OS X mail.

    Gmail sent messages are being moved to Outbox in OS X mail. You can not be sure whether they have been sent or going to be sent anyway. No network problems or SMTP problems exist, a variety of IOS and Windows equipment uses gmail without glitches.(OS X 10.9.2)

    This stopped happening as mysteriously as it started for me. The only change made on my end is that I added some seemingly unrelated filter Rules - around the same time (i can't be entirely certain if it stopped before or after the Rule changes) the proble with sent messages being marked as unread stopped. I doubt that the Rules actually had a direct effect, though perhaps it altered the structure of memory enough to stop the bug from occurring (something which I've seen many times in my 40 years of programming).

  • Synch mail messages between Mac and Iphone...

    I have a Mac Book Pro (and use Mail) and an Iphone 4. I had expected my mail box to synch such that all the mails I sent on Iphone would appear as sent items on my Mac and vice versa. This doesnt seem to be happening. What am i doing wrong please? Or is this not possible?

    It is not possible to "sync" like with music or photos. You need to setup your email account on your iPhone.

  • Z10 automatically loses any e-mail from inbox and sent box immediately after being read or not

    Hi Everyone, just need some advice on how to cure my Z10 from losing anything/e-mail in my in-box or sent box (even deleted items)
    Solved!

    Hello Victor,
    As I suspected, your mail client is likely downloading messages and deleting them from the mail server on which they are stored. When this occurs, the message is also being deleted from your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
    Set your Microsoft Outlook to leave a copy of the message on the server using the steps in the following article and let us know if this addresses the issue for you: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB12283

  • Some iPhone numbers are being blocked is this an issue

    I am having trouble texting people whom I have frequetly converse with, I have heard that this is an issue with iPhone.

    Texting as in SMS/MMS?
    If so and a text is successfully sent by your iPhone, what happens to a text after being successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.
    SMS/MMS are exchanged via a carrier's cellular network only. You need to contact your carrier with a texting problem and if more than one carrier is involved with the recipient that is not receiving your text that is successfully sent, the recipient needs to contact their carrier as well.

  • Do not disconnect show continually.  Error message is files on the ipod are being used by another program

    I get the "Do not disconnect" message all the time.  When I try to eject the ipod the error message is that the ipod can not be disconnected because it is in use with an other application.  I turn off all antivirus protection and the same result.  I can not find what other application is accessing the ipod.  The only way I can disconnect is to go to the drive that it is assigned to, and do an eject.  The unit will sync properly but will not eject for itunes.

    Forgot to say the mananging files manually and disk usage are not checked

  • How do I send photos to e-mail addresses right side up.  They are being received sideways.

    When I e-mail photos from my iPhone, small photo at top of e-mail is right side up, but large photo (same photo) is received sideways.  How do I correct this?

    You probably need to go back to TB24.6
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.6.0/
    Choose your platform and then your language, click the offered file to download it, then run it.
    You want win32/ for any version of Windows.

  • Icons are being mysteriously deleted!

    Icons (Safari, iPod, iTunes) are mysteriously dissapearing from my homescreen ever since the 2.0 update! I will admit that I was playing around with the settings, just trying to see what was new and get a feel for everything. So perhaps I deleted them somehow? But my question is...how can I get them back? I tried syncing my iPhone again but they don't re-appear...am I screwed or what? HELP!

    Did you move them to another page?
    From the home screen, swipe your finger from one side to the other ( left right or right left)
    When you hold your finger on an icon until they begin to shake, you can then move icons to another home screen page.

  • Recovered files are being found in the trash can! Is this normal?

    Why do I sometimes find Recovered items i.e. files in the trash can. These files (I do not know which application causes them) are put in a folder called Recovered Folder. I normally shut down my laptop or put it to sleep. I do not have the shut down issue other users complain from. I thought that this is what happens when computer shuts down in middle of applications, however as I said I do not have the shutdown issue and I normally put my computer to sleep.
