New iPad 2 always downloading previously deleted emails

I am using my Verizon.net POP3 email server. On iPad mail setup Incoming I have it set to delete from serer when removed from Inbox. My interpretation of that set-up is that any email I download, view and then delete (thereby removing it from my Inbox) should be deleted from the server by the iPad's OS. Those I don't delete should remain on the server. I also have an iPhone 3G running OS 4.x and it does not have this problem. Emails deleted on it are also deleted from the server so that they don't appear again when accessing new mail. The Mail settings otherwise appear identical to that of the new iPad.
This is NOT a POP3 vs. IMAP problem. It is an OS5.x problem as OS5.x is not handling the deleted emails by deleting them from the server. I want emails deleted from the iPad2 to delete from the server whereas those I leave in the iPad 2 mailbox I want to stay on the server so that I can manage those from my Win7 PC using Outlook 2010.

THANK YOU! Great solution!

It looks like you still have your emails stored on the mail server from your Internet Service Provider. When you update to ios5, it wipes out the emails on your devices. Then when you go into the mail tools, it pulls the emails off the server again. Very annoying, I agree.
Best thing is to delete unwanted emails off the server, likely using a web based email tool from your ISP (eg Webmail from Time Warner, etc).
Hope this helps.

My iPhone 5 suddenly started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP accounts

Yesterday, my iPhone 5 started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP email accounts. I use the native Mail app and have three POP emails set up on my phone. The number of messages downloaded across all of them is over 1,000 so far and date back over several months. One of these is a Yahoo account, the others are work email accounts provided by two different hosting companies. I have not changed anything on any of these three accounts at the server/hosting level. I also run an IMAP account on my phone, which has not been affected, so this is obviously a POP-only issue. I started to delete the messages only to discover that older messages were downloaded in their place. There appears to be a cap of 250 messages downloaded at a time, but there's no way to change this in the phone's settings (this used to be a feature, but disappeared some time ago).
I'm on iOS8.3 (upgraded a month ago with no affect on email). I have not changed any of my phone's email settings, so I don't understand why this has happened out of the blue. I have checked the phone's email settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to limit the number of messages downloaded.
Does anyone know:
a. why this has happened, and
b. how I get it to stop?
Thanks!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes accouns as your originally used to buy/download them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
In terms of the built-in apps, they are all covered in the manual (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

I used my husband's email for my apple ID. I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register. If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

Hey LamFY,
Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.

Previously deleted emails being sent to my phone

Replaced my old 3gs with a new 4. Set up my email account (BT). Started to get old, previously deleted emails being sent to my phone. Hundreds of the things. Please help.

What kind of email account is this? Generally this only happens with accounts that you sync with Outlook. There is a setting in Outlook to add them. Most other mail clients will display a suggested list from previously written email, but will not automatically add them to the contact list.
Are you actually seeing them in the contact list, or is it just that when you go to type another name in with a similar starting letter you are seeing the name? The iPhone keeps this in a cache in case you want to use them again, but they delete eventually. Or, you can delete them by starting the email out, then tapping on the to the end of the address and then deleting the suggestion.

HT1349 When the tech set up my new iPad last week, I can get email on IT, but now I can no longer get email on my Mac laptop. How can I correct that? Tish

When the tech set up my new iPad last week, I can get email on IT, but now I can't get email on my Mac laptop. What's wrong? Tish

It could be a POP account which means the first device which accesses the account gets the email unless the settings have been changed. Here are links to show what is involved. It may not mirror your circumstances though.

IOS5 has restored over 7000 previously deleted emails to our i-pad. Is there any way of deleting them other than 'edit' and ticking them all off? It'll take days!

iOS5 has restored over 7000 previously deleted emails to our i-pad. At this point, we cannot find a way to mass delete them. Anybody got any ideas?

Problem solved by emptying deleted file on the computer and then deleting and re-installing email accounts on the i-pad.

POP email downloading already deleted emails on iPad 1

On my iPad 1, I will look at and erase email in my Verizon email account, but emails I have erased will often be re-downloaded again, sometimes almost immediately. It is very annoying. Sometimes it will re-download emails from days before. Does anyone else have this issue with a Verizon email account or any POP email account in Mail on the iPad? Is there some way to fix it?
I have my settings for this account to delete from server when removed from inbox.

Thanks for the response. However, the problem isn't that I get the same emails on multiple devices, that's something I am used to with my Verizon email account. Rather, the problem is that I am getting the same emails on the same device, specifically my iPad and iPhone 4S, emails that I have already viewed and then deleted on that device.
So, I will receive an email A, it shows up as a new email on my iPad with the blue dot next to it. I will view that email A, thereby making the the little blue dot disappear, and then I will delete email A from my iPad. Then, next time I open Mail on the iPad, it will connect and download the very same email A, marking it once again as new with the blue dot. Rinse repeat. Sometimes, it will redownload these emails even without me closing Mail and reopening Mail; it will just redownload them right after I've deleted them in the same session. Sometimes it will redownload emails from days ago that I deleted off that devices days ago.
This never happens on my MacBook version of Mail, only my iOS devices, and it's very annoying, as you may imagine, because most of these are pointless adds and filler and I like to keep a relatively small limit of emails per account on these iOS devices.

New ipad won't download old iPad's audiobooks

My new ipad did not automatically download audiobooks from iCloud from old ipad.yes, the audiobooks were backed up on iCloud. My iTunes music, iBooks kindle nook & audible all downloaded easily along with previously purchased apps, but audiobooks didn't . I have a disease that seriously affects the eyes & over time, I will lose my eyesight completely so I treasure my audiobooks. Help,

New iPad: trouble with downloading apps.

I just bought a new iPad. I cannot download apps for it. I tried to download a free app. I entered all of my information and it just says at the top "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction". I gives no explanation as to why I have to contact support. What is wrong with this thing?

They are very good about getting back to you. It may take up to 48 hours, but they will respond. They have always responded to me.
Without know more about your situation, the issue may have been about the way that you created your Apple ID.
But that's just a guess on my part. They will get it resolved for you. Hang in there.

Brand new iPad: ios 7 How to transfer email addresses from computer

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find exactly what I was looking for.
I just bought an iPad and updated the operating system. Previous questions about adding email addresses from computer to iPad mentioned goin to iTunes and then the index tab. I don't have an "iTunes" icon; I have "iTunes U" but there is no index tab there. I'm confused. Sorry for my computer-illiterateness.
And thanks to any responses.
