New to iphone and wonder how to stop old emails from uploading.

I'm new to iPhone. I'm just now really playing with the device and wan to clean out the old emails. Every time I delete 50, then an additional 50 download to the device. i have over 8000 emails on the server! i don't want all these coming to my iphone. how do i stop it? i only want the ones from today forward at this point.

If the account is a POP account, all messages that remain on the server will be downloaded as new unread messages when creating the account with a new or different email client - the iPhone's Mail client is no different than when creating an existing POP account with a new or different email client in this regard, and I'm not aware of a setting to download new messages received at the server from or after a designated date with any email client.
If the account is an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.

    Use the Mac App Store application and go to the purchased tab, which you'll find at the top of the Mac App Store window.

  • How to stop receiveing emails from email account?

    Hi have a new pearl 8110.  I have it thru AT&T.  I have it configured thru BES.  I receive work emails thru the BES.  I was experimenting with the personal email and set it up to receive emails from my personal earthlink email account.  I decided I do not like that set up since I am unable to set the BB up so that work and personal emails go to separate folders (the personal ones will go to a separate folder and the general email folder and the work emails go to the general folder only).
    At any rate, I want to delete the earthlink email account from the BB.  I deleted it from the servicebook, but I still am getting emails?
    Any idea how to remedy this so that the earthlink emails stop showing up?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go to E-mail Settings icon on your home screen. Login using the user name and password (if passoword used while setting initial setup).  Go to Email Accounts under services and hit the delete button under the email ID that you want to delete.

  • How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

    How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
    I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

    When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

  • How to stop Deleting email from work exchange when deleting of iphone

    I have an iPad and iPhone 5 and would like to be able to delete work related exchange email from either device without deleting the email from my work station. My previous phone [Blackberry] allowed me to chose to delete only on the phone or both. Is this possible on either Apple device?

    You don't. That's the way Exchange Active Sync works. It fully synchronizes the two.
    The Blackberry allowed you to do that because all of your Exchange e-mail was actually going through another server before it ever got to your phone. Blackberry uses a middleman server (for lack of a better term) to handle communication. Your BB was never actually communicating directly with your Exchange server.

  • How to stop yahoo email from deleting on my computer when I delete it from my iPhone?

    When I delete my Yahoo email from my iPhone 4s it also deletes it off of my Yahoo email on my computer. What is the fix for this? I set the email to on the iPhone to never delete but it still deletes.

    That's the way Yahoo email is supposed to work. It keeps your computer, web mail and iPhone in sync. The only option is to set up Yahoo as a POP3 account, but there you will have to delete everything twice, once on the phone and once on your computer or webmail.

  • Email- My email keeps downloading old email long ago deleted by my computer, but I phone now has 1,300 plus email, and no way to delete in bulk. how can i dbulk delete and stop old emails from downloading. i use gmail.

    This is a tough way to get help using the Iphone pushing us onto each other as users to do thier support work. !
    My email is ging me fits , as it downloads so many old old email i do not want to use it to get email/

    Sounds like you have your computer checking a POP account and your computer thus gets copies from the server and you don't have your comptuer set to delete from server once downloaded/deleted thus they are still on the server.  Thus when your phone checks the server they are there.  POP accounts were never intended for this mobile age.

  • How to restore old emails from Outlook to Mac Mail?

    I have recently configured my email account (server type POP3) on Mail. It has retrieved my emails from last few weeks. However the older emails are missing. I was using Outlook and Mozilla thunderbird as email clients on Windows computer. I do have a backup of the data from windows computer on external hard drive. Can someone explain my how to I restore those old emails to the newly configued mac Mail account?

    I had about 7500 emails, and they converted OK...took awhile because each one has to be converted, but it finished fine. 
    Although you can export from multiple Outlook folders, Mac Mail doesn't have a very slick importer for multiple mailboxes.  So, you'll need to export the mailboxes from Outlook (which will create 25 different files, each full of email), and then import each of those into Mail. In my case, Mail created a separate folder for each exported file, but the folders all descended from the root folder (not nested), so I had to create my own nesting.  This is more a limitation of the mbox standard that Apple uses than it is a limitation of Mac Mail itself, from what I read. 
    Happy new year!

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.
