My Ipad deleted all of the emails in the Inbox.

These emails are also not available on the Yahoo server. I do make a good effort to store emails within folders, but I still managed to lose a substantial amount of emails. Is there any alternative format that I can switch to, so I can be sure this does not happen again? This major inconvenience has surely changed my opinion of Apple and my enthusiasm about this product. How can I ever trust the device again?

iCloud syncing is usually fairly quick although I have seen it take some time as well. It would be nice if Apple included a "sync now" button somewhere in the settings to force an iCloud update for those time it gets stubborn.

In MS Exchange, if I turn off mail, does it delete all of those emails from the device, within that Account?

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing difficulties with linked my iphone with MS Exchange for email.
Within my MS Exchange account, I want to deactivate my mail, but keep Contacts, Calendar etc. My question is, if I was to switch mail off, does this delete all of the emails from my iPhone or just stop displaying them? What is the impact of this?
The reason being is that I have a few thousand emails, which takes a long time to transfer and this is something that I may wish to re-activate in the future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Just uncheck mail and the contacts/calendars will be fine. Only mail will be removed.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

You can't delete them all at once on the iPad. You have to select them one at a time. Once the emails are in the trash, you can Delete All from there.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate it?

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash bin but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate the bin?

You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?

Will updating my ipad delete all the files and apps i have there?

Perform a complete backup before hand and all will be well. You just restore the backup after the update. If you have a backup password, be sure you haven't forgotten it. The details of what is backed up differ a bit if you are outside of the states. Read this article for details:

I have a new mac book air and every time i start up the computer it loads all my emails, somewhere around 10,000. Even though I delete them, which take a long time, they keep coming back? How do I delete all my old emails? thank you

I have a problem with my Macbook air which keeps reloading all my old emails to my inbox. Even thought i delete them, which takes a long time, over 10,000...they keep coming back? How do I delete old messages? Thank you

check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.

When is there going to be a select all/delete all option in email? I need to search for certain emails and delet them from my phone but not my email program (Outlook)

when will there be a select all/delete all option in Emails? I have a large number of emails that come to my phone which i dont want to delete from my outlook mail account (On my PC). However, i want to be able to search, select all and delete these emails from my phone? I do not use ICloud either as it causes issues with my calendars at work.
These features should be a standard as there are plenty of other users out there that are trying to do the same thing and as yet there has been no progress? The email on the iphone is one of the biggest downfalls of the phone, blackberry and android handle them much better, but i dont have an option with my phone at work. Please help??

No one here would have any idea when or if such a feature would be introduced until and unless Apple announces it.

Unfortunately it isn't possible. You have to select one at a time. You might want to add your name to the many that have requested this feature in the past.
