My blackberry is deleting mail from my server. how do i stop it?

My blackberry seems to be deleting messages from my main server. I know how to leave messages on the server via my Mac entourage email but they are still getting deleted and my blackberry is the only other place that could be deleting them. Please help!

EmmyG, RIM doesn't delete emails from the mail server, it only flags that it has "pushed" that email or message to the handheld device. There is not a setting or function anywhere to delete from the server.

IPhone in deleting mail from my server? Help please

i have an ATT / Yahoo e mail acct. and never had this problem before.
As i have a phone and a home computer, i have always had the phone leave the mail on the server and that way I could also get it on my home computer. Now the phone deletes the mail off the server os I can't get it at home.
I have checked my phone settings but nothing helps.
Any suggestions would be great before i take a trip down to the ATT store.
Thanks,
Rich

Unless you had it set up as a POP account before with a specific setting not to delete messages from the server after download, I'm not sure why it would have behaved differently. This is the way it's always worked for me. It's basically an IMAP account with support for push notification. Nearly indistinguishable from an Exchange account. It synchronizes fully with the server. Deletions will be reflected on all devices using IMAP to access the host inbox.

Option for deleting mail from the server?

hi,
is there an option in mail that would enable me to delete messages from my server when i delete them from my mail client but keeps the messages i did not delete on my server?
i know there is an option to delete messages after they've been downloaded, but that's not what i want.
thanks!

Hi,
I would like for this very thing to happen ...moving mail from my inbox deletes it from the server. However, I've checked that option in the prefs, but it doesn't work.
I can delete mail [from server] when retrieving it "right away", and I can "remove now", but the "when moved from inbox" options does nothing.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
PS: I've heard about the cool features of Mail 2.0, but keep in mind that I'm using Panther (w/Mail 1.3.11)
iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB

How do I set up Mail to remove deleted mail from Brighthouse server?

My Brighthouse/Time Warner Mail says I am at 100% capacity and I need to go to the roadrunner site and manually delete items from the server. I used to have a PC and there was a way to set up outlook so that when I deleted an email, it would be taken off the server.
How do I set this up in Mail? (I said safari but meant mail earlier)

Hi there jhoche1,
It sounds like you are looking for the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" setting. This setting can be found at Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I have deleted "mail" from my computer, how do I get it back?

Hi
I deleted Mail from my computer, won't even come up on search facility. This was done about a yr ago, but I love Mail, others drive me mad. Can I get it back? My computer is about 6 yrs old and it won't update past 10.6.8. I have recently purchased a time capsule but of course it won't work on anything less than 10.8. Can I fix both of these problems please.
thanks Helen

1. Use Pacifist to extract Mail from your Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.
2. The Time Capsule needs to be set up from a computer running a newer Mac OS X version, or a compatible iOS device. Once done, it can be connected to from a Snow Leopard system.

Horrible, irresponsible default setting for Thunderbird re: deleting mail from POP server

Yesterday I downloaded and booted an ISO of Linux Mint 16 because I was curious about the current state of Linux and whether it would make sense to finally switch from Windows. The OS booted and ran without any major issues and seemed generally well-polished.
Then I ran Thunderbird and did a quick setup of my POP3 e-mail account (provided by GoDaddy) using the default configuration, which I assumed would be appropriately configured for someone who wanted to give Thunderbird a test-run. I waited a few minutes while Thunderbird downloaded all the e-mail messages from GoDaddy's server and then I spent some time poking around with the program. Seemed fine.
Unfortunately, I did not realize until after rebooting my system into Windows that Thunderbird was configured by default to delete all my e-mail messages from the server upon download, and I was shocked to find that I could no longer access my old messages via my Android phone. That's several months worth of important e-mails that Thunderbird unceremoniously wiped from my mail server without so much as a warning.
This is a horribly irresponsible way to configure Thunderbird's default settings and I'm sure I'm not the only person who has gotten burned in this manner. Needless to say it has soured me not just on Thunderbird but on Linux in general as a desktop OS. As an attorney I frequently need to review previously-read e-mail messages in my account and your mail client's default settings have caused me a major inconvenience. I strongly suggest that you alter Thunderbird's default configuration to leave downloaded messages on the server in order to avoid upsetting users in the future.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I had booted Mint directly from the DVD and had not installed it. I was simply testing it out. Thunderbird was remarkably easy to configure - I just gave it my e-mail address, name, and password and it figured out the rest. But nowhere did it indicate that it would remove downloaded messages from my mail server by default, hence my shock and dismay.
I sincerely hope that somebody within Mozilla will acknowledge that this is a problem and change the default settings.

IPhone 5 mail set up as IMAP - deletes mail from ISP server

I have had my iPhone 5 for 3 months. I set up one of my email accounts with my ISP (Charter) as IMAP and the phone is behaving as expected. I have it set to show 50 recent messages which is fine; I assumed that I could always login to my Charter account if I was away from home and needed something older. Outlook on my PC is behaving as expected and I can open unopened email from a long time ago. But I just found that login to my Charter account through a browser, there are only about 100 messages in my inbox, and there is nothing in my sent folder since the day before I got my iPhone.
I would like for nothing to get deleted from Charter's server unless I delete it using Outlook on my PC or accessing my Charter account through a browser.
Is there any way to do this?

The folders that I see on the phone don't match up to the folders I have set up in Outlook. I much prefer to handle the mail there. I just want to be able to see the mail on the phone and not have the phone be the boss of the server. I now understand that is really not possible. I will try to remember to increase the number of messages retained on the phone before I travel. (concerned that they will start being deleted from the server before I download them to the PC via Outlook.)
Thanks for your replies.

Deleting mail from the server - not working properly

Hello all,
I usually remove all spam from the mail server as soon as it comes in to avoid it arriving in all our office mailboxes.
Since upgrading to Leopard, I've run into some hickups.
After going to apple-i, I select the spam messages, click on 'delete from server', confirm this in the pop-up window... after which nothing happens. While I should get an updated list of messages on the server, and a new number and size of messages in the bottom left corner.
I sometimes have to repeat the procedure two or more times before the selected messages are deleted.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Lianne

No-one experiencing the same problem??

Deleting mail from ISP server

I purchased a Razr (Big mistake). I can send and receive email. (No problem.) When I deldete an email from the Razr, it also deletes the email from my ISP server. (Big problem) Does anyone know how to change the settings to leave emails on the server when deleted on the Razr. It was easy on my Droid Incredible. (Better phone) Went to mail settings and unchecked a box. No one at any of the Verizon stores I have gone to seems to know how to fix it.

This is email settings according to Motorola. It also noted on the chart that you should use a computer to enable the "Delete from server" option on your email provider settings if using a POP service.
ATT requires using the full email address, [email protected]
sbcglobal.net
POP3
Incoming: pop.att.yahoo.com
port 995
use secure server - yes
verify certificate - yes
outgoing: smtp.att.yahoo.com
port 465
use secure server - yes
verify certificate - yes
I don't know if these are the settings that you were using or if they are still accurate.

IPhone deletes mail on Exchange server - how to uncouple?

Whenever I delete company mail on my iPhone the mail is deleted from the Exchange server.
Where can I toggle this? I want the mail to stay visible from my Mac but be cleared off my iPhone.
Many thanks.
Edited to reflect it's an Exchange server, not IMAP.

You cannot. Exchange servers operate just like IMAP - the mail lives on the server, and a local copy is synced/cached. If you make a change (like deleting a message) on one device, that change is reflected on the server (assuming you're connected to the internet), and thus on all devices.
One option might be to create a different folder (in Mail on the Mac, for example, but on the Exchange account not local so the phone can access it) - call it Read Mail or something like that. Then, on the iPhone move emails from your Inbox to that folder instead of deleting them.

Delete mail from server when removed from inbox

I have a POP e-mail account set up. Under the mail account advanced settings there is an option to delete mail from the server when I delete it from the iPad inbox. I assume this is a valid option for the account since it is shown, and it is what I would like to do. However it doesn't appear to be working. Is this truly an available option?

I also have a POO account wit ph Verizon and experienced the same thing. Apple tech said that is a property of POP accounts and I would have to change the account to Imap for the iPad to be able to delete from the server.

How do I delete mail from the server using my Ipad

That completely depends on your email service provider.
For gmail, for example, you would do this as follows:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your gmail account] > Advanced > [Move Discarded Messages Into] Deleted Mailbox

IPhone deleting mail from server without permission?

Hi,
About 3 weeks ago mail which is delivered to my Iphone started to disappear from my mail account. Now I have my Iphone set to never delete mail from the server, yet it appears that some, not all are getting deleted.
I have read some posts which say to delete the mail account from my phone and re-create it which I have already done, but this did not solved my problem. It is a pop account so I'm confused as to why this is happening.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have Deleted Messages under Advanced set to Never, but do not have anything available to change about Server settings under Incoming settings - just SSL, Authentication, IMAP Path Prefix, and Server Port.
As already provided, this is an IMAP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. You can select to store the account's Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes on the server or locally, but the account's Inbox mailbox is stored on the server and cannot be changed.
When deleting a message from the account's Inbox mailbox with an IMAP account, the message is removed from the account's Inbox mailbox on the server and transferred to the account's Trash mailbox. This will be reflected automatically when checking the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If you have the account's Trash mailbox set to be stored locally, you can try transferring the messages from the account's Trash mailbox back to the account's Inbox mailbox so these messages will be available when accessing the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer.

Deleting Mail from POP

Can somebody kindly correct or confirm my understanding about deleting mail from iPhone.
I use a .com POP account and use Eudora on my Mac.
When I trash & delete an email from iPhone, this will not delete the mail from the POP account -- correct?
Also, if I used Apple Mail instead of Eudora, would syncing cause Mail app to delete from POP the messages that are trashed & deleted from the iPhone?
In short, am I correct that deleting mail from iPhone has no affect on POP server unless you use and sync to Apple's Mail app?
Thank you!

as long as your setting for deleting mail from the server is set to "never" on the iPhone, you won't have any problems.

Deleting Messages from Pop Server

I downloaded the new software and now my phone is deleting messages from the server when I delete the message from my phone. I checked the phone settings and it was set on "never" under deleting from server. Is this a bug in the new software. Is there a fix?

Wjosten,
Thanks for your continued responses.
How old is the info you got regarding Earthlink settings? I went through both my account settings, and my Webmail settings, and could not find the exact settings below. In fact, this seems to be more of a setting when you set up a desktop mail client (e.g. Part of Outlook setup). See here for an example: http://support.earthlink.net/articles/email/setting-up-outlook-2007-to-send-and- receive-email.php (it is on the last screenshot)
Regardless, I only use the webmail, and I thought that if I delete mail on the iPhone, then the setting on the iPhone to delete mail from the server should do that.
Any thoughts on whether there is something buggy with the iPhone? I had another strange iPhone problem which was fixed by deleting the acccount, logging into Gmail and recreating the account. The problem was that Gmail on the iPhone would let me send new mail, but if I tried to Reply to a message, it would not work and the error was that there was no password!
