My emails are deleting from the server...

I have recently purchased a new iMac, and set up my different email accounts. However, the emails are now being deleted from the server once they are downloaded to my iMac (and therefore my phone, and can't be accessed by my business partner). How do I stop this from happening?

How do I stop this from happening?
By using an IMAP or Exchange account for mail, rather than POP, which is what you have now.

  • My emails are deleted from the server daily. I checked leave emails on server? This is a new problem, My emails would always be on the server until I deleted

    On a daily basis my emails are deleted from the server, even if I still have them on my computer.

    Actually, it had to do with Comcast, not the iPad. The default for Comcast is IMAP, and that is based on the information they have available when the account goes into verification. It verifies an IMAP account, and since you have not migrated to the IMAP account, you were having problems. It isn't something anyone can fix, except you. It would not ask you at the beginning if you wanted IMAP or POP, it has to do with the mail provider's verification settings, which is a Comcast issue, but because they are providing IMAP now, it defaults to that. If you are still using POP, you have to force the mail app to get there, which is what I provided you the instructions for. Apple is not going to fix anything, because there is nothing for them to fix.
    Either way, you got it fixed and that is all it takes. As a Comcast customer, I was aware of this, since I had migrated to IMAP already.

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

  • Yahoo/att email from my ipad2 are deleted from the server view.

    When reading my yahoo/att email from my ipad2 they are deleted from the server view. Is there any way to keep this from occuring? I have my home pc set to not delete upon reading to allow manual retention as needed.

    If you recently added back your email account it was most likely set up as an IMAP account - renowned for the seamless sync across your device - yes I am being a little sarcastic there - at the technology not at you
    The oft recommended way to "force" the email to be POP is to add your email address in there incorrectly - misspelling works fine - and then it asks whether you want a POP or IMAP account
    Try that - delete the account - you will not lose your emails in there
    Then re add and follow the steps I recommended and see if that solves your issue

  • Why is all of my email being deleted from the server?

    Hi Everyone!
    I am using an iPad Air 2, iOS version 8.1.2 (still have to perform the current update).  When I download email from my ISP, Comcast, it gets deleted from their server.  This never happened with my 2nd Generation iPad.
    I go to settings>Mail>accounts>advanced - and under the Incoming settings, I don't have an option for "delete from server"  where I am supposed to select "never".  Instead, it has "IMAP Path Prefix / "
    How do I fix this so my email stays on the server?   I like to check my email using my ipad and iphone, but I prefer saving it on my desktop PC but I can't do this because when my email is downloaded into the ipad, it gets deleted from Comcast's servers.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • My emails are deleted from the inbox mailbox without my comand, and they dissappear

    My messages dissapear from the inbox of my ipad, without my asking to delet them. Why?

    This is also happening to me on my iPhone 4 (along with a very frustrating static-y headphone problem).
    I'll see the e-mail come in, I can read the preview text before opening it but when I touch it to open, another e-mail opens and the one I'm trying to read has disappeared. Nowhere to be found, not even in the deleted files folder.
    I don't have any other devices connected/synced that would be deleting it nor do I have the 200 max emails in the inbox as Robato suggested. even if I did, based upon Robato's information, the new e-mail would not be disappearing...
    I need some help for sure....

    I have 7 email accounts on my phone. If I tap EDIT while viewing the Trash folder in any of them I see "Mark All" on the left and "Delete All" on the right. If you tap any message, however, the legends go away.

  • How can i find an excel file deleted from the server

    In our office we all have access to the main server. Recently a document that we need was deleted from the server. It's not in the trash. Can and how would we be able to find and recover this deleted document? Specifically I am looking for an excel document, and I already checked the recent docs on excel.
    thanks!

  • After updating my iphone 5 of ios 7, I delete or trash my emails rorm my inbox and they pop back up in my inbox.  How do I fix this?  They are deleted from the main server but show up in my email on my phone and will not stay deleted.

    I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 7 and since doing this, i cannot get my email messages to stay deleted when I trash them.  They have been deleted from the main mail server but show up on my phone.  When I trash them, they disappear for a few seconds and then re-appear in the inbox. I tried deleted my mail account from my phone and re-adding it, but this worked for about 12 hours and now its doing it again. I also have shut my phone off and rebooted it but this did not work.  How do I fix this?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • My messages are not being deleted from the server

    Hi,
    Mail is not removing messages from the server. Every now and than I have to remove messages from my server manually. I went through all the settings ... it works as intended on 2 out of 3 machines ... am I missing something? I can use "delete now" in Mail preferences ... not a big deal, just a nuisance.
    Thanks, Stephan

    Are the Mail settings sticking between reboots on that one Mac?

  • Emails will NOT delete from the server

    Hello,
    My issue is I have a gmail account setup on my phone. When I delete the emails from my phone it actually doesn't delete the emails from the main server account also. What it does is that it hides them, so when I access my gmail on the webserver, I have to actively look for them and manually delete them from there too.
    This wasn't the case in the previous phones. Anyone tell me what is going wrong?
    Thanks

    oh ok , so you're not reading them first, just deleting and marked as archived.
    Huh. Just looked, and it's the same on my gmail, never realized that. Gmail is only archiving not moving them to trash or fully deleting. That's a Gmail policy.

  • Why won't the email I delete from the inbox delete from Verizon server as advanced setting says it will?

    Why doesn't the "remove from server when deleted from I.nbox" not do it on my Verizon server?

    This will only occur if your mail server is an IMAP server. What do you have?

  • Mail trying to download an email message already deleted from the server

    And it won't download anything else. How do I get the program to recognize that this message has already been deleted?

    Try the following.
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and if successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any new messages available at the server that have not been downloaded.
