My Iphone 4 is downloading my entire outlook inbox including "read" messages.

My new Iphone is downloading from my outlook account. But it is downloading my entire inbox (even read messages) how do I stop it and just download messages from today forward. I have over 6000 "read" messages in my inbox. Do i have to delete each email individually on my phone? It pulls 50 at a time. Once I delete the 50 it pulls the next 50 and so on...

If the phone is able to download old messages it is because they are still on your server. If you delete them off the server, the phone won't be able to download them anymore.

How to get emails sent using my iphone and gmail sent to my Outlook inbox?

I have set up my my Iphone Mail Account using gmail/googlemail.
If I send an e-mail from my iphone then it appears in my sent folder on my iphone but does not get sent to my Outlook inbox (when I carry out the Send/Receive function). However, when I send an e-mail using gmail webmail (rather than Outlook), the sent e-mail DOES get sent to my Outlook inbox.
How do I set things up (using my Iphone? Using gmail? Using Outlook?) to get e-mails sent using my iphone delivered to my Outlook inbox?

Thanks for your efforts...
..but still not working yet.
I have deleted the account and created it again, using your instructions.
I do not know whether Outlook is configured as IMAP or not: sorry to sound ignorant but I am literate only up to a point!
I do not understand why e-mail that is sent via the webmail goes into my inbox...while e-mail sent via iphone does not. I would therefore imagine that I need to do something to my iphone (as you initially suggested) than to Outlook or Googlemail...but I am quite prepared to be told I am wrong.

'Undo' no longer working in Outlook inbox after a message delete

I've been using Outlook 2010 for a couple of years; I used to occasionally use 'Undo' (or ctrl-Z) to bring back a message I had just deleted from Inbox after reading it. It was a limited undo - I could only bring back the one message - but it did get back
a single message if I had just been a bit too hasty with the Del key.
Now recently that no longer works - instead of getting the message back, after a few seconds I get a dialog message "Cannot undo. Operation failed. The item was either moved or deleted after it was copied, or you do not have permission". If I go
to the 'Deleted Items' folder the message is there and can be either opened or dragged back to the Inbox, so I can get it back but it is a nuisance to lose the quick undo.
Has this behavior been changed by a software update? I don't believe I have changed any account settings or Outlook option settings, but if this is controlled by an option can someone point me to it? I've tried searching the 'Help' and found nothing relevant.
Thanks in advance
Steve M.

I suspect that you have only downloaded message header and the headers that were not yet downloaded remain marked for deletion, and there is not an option on the
Edit menu to undelete the selected item.
Go to Define Send/Receive Group and set download message completely for your account.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281366
When you delete a header and delete a downloaded message item, it is two distinct processes. When you click an item and either drag it to the deleted items folder (in Microsoft Outlook) or click the
Delete button, the item is moved from the Inbox folder to the Deleted Items folder. If you click
Undelete, it moves the item back. If you delete a header (the item has not yet been downloaded), it only marks the item for deletion. Until the command to delete is sent back to the e-mail server where the item still remains, the item is not
un-marked for deletion. This is the difference between client-side processing and server-side processing. Until the server receives the command to delete the message, the item remains marked for deletion. The only way to "unmark" the item is to right-click
that item, and then click to select Unmark selected headers.

IPhone mail automatically downloads attachments when checking inbox, help ?

Phone consuming massive amounts of data. Noticed when going to inbox attachements are fully downloaded before opening individual mail. Can't turn this off. Apple UK says this is normal. I can't beleive this. I have received mail On a handset for 10 yrs and every model prompted me to download attachments. Never used more than 100mb in a month. With iPhone I'm now using over 50mb per day. This is outrageous as email on the move is a necessity for me however I like to choose what I receive. Feels like I have bought an inkjet printer that takes rippoff cartridges. I've turned off push mail , set download remote images to off, set preview to 2 lines but did not help. If I go to inbox for a few seconds then exit, a while later I hear the message indicator sound , check my inbox again and there are my new messages with full attachments downloaded and waiting. When I open an individual message the attachment opens instantly , proving that it has already been downloaded. Is this normal?if so, please apple release a feature allowing me to choose to receive attachments or not

Thnx for your assistance. You won't beleive this. Option 1 didn't work so before I went the clear device route I had a look at one of my associates iPhone. Turns out it does the same thing. We then checked another handset and same problem. Turns out both of them have been querying Vodacom because of massive data bills since they moved to iPhone. They didn't realize it was their mail attachments causing it until I pointed it out. The're milking us.
Those screenshots you sent , are they from a 3gs running os 3.1.3?
I cannot beleive Apple or Vodacom hasn't picked this up. Under these circumstances it makes the device unusable as a business tool for those who require access to email over mobile networks unless your prepared to throw huge money at a feature other manufacturers provide controls for. (no wonder blackberry has taken the business market here).

The send link is not working. I get taken to my Outlook inbox where a message is displayed 'navigation to the webpage is cancelled'. Any ideas on how to fix this? It's driving me mad having to copy and paste the link rather than clicking on 'send to'!

I am using Outlook 2010 and I have set this as default. Furthermore, this does not seem to be recognised by Windows XP as it is not listed in IE8 options, programs drop down list. Very strange. Had no problems previously with Outlook Express.

IPhone 4s set to manually sync, but every time I try to put a single song on my phone it downloads my entire library. How do I sync individual songs without downloading entire iTunes library?

I recently purged my iPhone 4S of most of its music because I didn't have enough gigabytes of free space to download the latest iOS (my phone was actually completely full). That ticked me off but I didn't have time for a backup. I transferred all purchases to my library and I deleted the music from my phone.
Since then, I've been annoyed that I don't have all my music but I've been enjoying the free space that I have, so I prefer to restore songs from my library individually now, depending what I'm in the mood to hear, and I don't miss having a full phone.
However, whenever I try to manually sync music that was ripped from a CD, music I didn't download from iTunes, but is playable in my iTunes library, iTunes thinks it has to download the entire library, which I don't even have the space for, anyway. However, my iPhone seems fine wirelessly (I have Home Sharing turned on) syncing individual songs which were purchased in the iTunes store.
So whenever I try to sync a single song, or an album perhaps, which was not purchased on iTunes, I get the message "updating files on iphone" and it says it's copying all the thousands of songs in my entire library. But my settings are for manual sync only. I wind up cancelling the sync every time, because I would have to wait for it to finish copying thousands of songs before it got to the one I selected. Why on earth is it doing this?
How do I regain the ability to sync a single song at a time?
This has been exasperating me.

While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
1. Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
2. Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
3. Choose the synch option you would like.

HT204406 Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?

Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/synchronize-outlook-and-apple-iph one-or-ipod-touch-contacts-HA010266802.aspx. (You have to be using Outlook 2003 or newer.)

Downloading email in Outlook for Iphone 5

I have a new iPhone 5 and have 36K emails in my Outlook. It's attempting to download them all. Is this a problem? My phone is set to only see 50 emails so I thought it would only download the most recent 50.

The setting you refer to is a show the most recent messages in a selected mailbox, not a message download setting.
The iPhone's Mail app isn't downloading anything from Outlook. If the account is a POP account, all received messages that remain at the incoming mail server will be downloaded as new and unread messages. The same when creating an existing POP account with any email client.

IPhone - Exchange 2003 - Downloading entire mailbox everytime iPhone Sleeps

iPhone keeps downloading the entire mailbox, every time it awakes from sleep mode. Is there anything that could be causing this?

Hi mehrardt,
It does sound like the exchange email account has to be removed from the iPhone and then added again.
If he has another personal email account on the iPhone, you can have him delete the exchange account and then tap a configuration profile that you emailed him.
The iPhone Configuration Utility available here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/ will let you create a configuration profile with certificates, which you can email. The receiver would just tap the profile and it would configure the iPhone.

HT4914 How do I download my entire iTunes library back to my computer and iPhone ?

The things I love about iTunes Match are:
upgraded audio quality
entire music library backed up to cloud to prevent loss
available on multiple devices anywhere*
The thing I hate about iTunes Match is that if I don't have access to WiFi or Cellular then I have NO ACCESS to my music. Since I travel often and am frequently in situations where there is no Wifi/Cellular (or it's to expensive when in another country) I'm left with no options.
My question is - How do I download my ENTIRE ITunes Library to both my computers, iphone and ipads?
I can't image clicking the "download icon" on 50,000 songs... is there a workaround for this?
thank you!
Michael

Archived - How to back up your media in iTunes
If you use a regular CD, then you will need a lot (depending on how many songs, videos, or apps) I recommend using DVDs so that way, you can store a lot. (CDs hold up to 800MB or 80min.; DVDs hold up to 4.7GB or 120 min.)

Is it possible to download an entire playlist at once to iPhone?

Now that I'm on iTunes Match, none of my music syncs to the iPhone. Do I have to wait for a download for each & every song if I listen to a playlist? What if there's no network available? I can't listen to music if there's no network? This is teh suck.
In iTunes, you can download an entire playlist at once (at least you can queue it up for downloading). On the phone, nada afaict.

I think I found the answer to my own question.
I turned iTunes Match off on my iOS device. Then I connected it to my computer and synced my entire library. And finally I turned iTunes Match back on. Viola!
I hope this help to someone.
