Old Email Messages

A few days ago i started receiving old emails on my bb that I had previously deleted.
These msgs are now going as far back as January!
It seems whenever someone sends me a new email, 9 old ones get sent along with it!
I have tried to rework my email settings, but it won't let me in with the password/email combo I have. Then when I ask for an email password reminder, it says it sends it, but is no where to be found!
How can i stop these old emails from showing up? Who should I get in contact with regarding user name/password info for my email settings?
Thanks!

Ihave started having the same problem with my hotmail account on the BB too. I hav a 9700 with Rogers, and have been using it without problems for over a year. For the last week or so, message delivery is very sporadic. I have resent service books a few times, and now messages sometimes arrive, sometimes not, and random old messages keep getting delivered, and messages deleted on Hotmail are not removed on the device as they used to be in the past.

New iMac--getting thousands of old email messages!

I just got a new iMac and after I added my MobileMe email address in Apple Mail, it started downloading 8,000 old email messages! I have checked in Apple Mail Preferences and in MobileMe mail preferences and I cannot figure out what I need to change in order to tell the MobileMe Mail server to delete all email messages that are over two years old. Can someone help me figure this out?
Thanks!

There is no way to do this automatically with an Inbox that resides on the IMAP server. Such a time setting is only available with a POP3 server -- in which case deleting from the server does not delete from the Mac.
If you create a Smart Mailbox to segregate the older messages so you can manually delete them, then if you do that, they will not be on the old Mac either.

Delete old email messages

how can I delete old email messages, say anything more than a week old?

Try rebuilding the mailbox. (Select it, then choose Mailbox -> Rebuild.)

Cannot get old email messages onto new Z10

I have a bb9800 and am trying to get the old email messages off of it onto the new Z10. The 9800 only had the telus.blackberry.net email address and on the Z10 I have the company email. Is there a way to get those emails over other than forwarding them all individually

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you mean that you wish to have your old @telus emails visible on your Z10, the answer is no. That email was provided by BIS, and BB10 does not use BIS. Hence, those email addresses cannot be configured to a BB10 device. So, the only way to have those emails on the BB10 device is via forwarding from the @telus email account over to one that indeed can be integrated to the Z10.
BTW -- you need to migrate off of that @telus email address, as it will be going away. They are allowing one year of auto-forwarding (which you need to configure...contact Telus for assistance), after which that @telus email address will cease to exist.
Good luck!

Can't delete an old email message on my iPhone, it also shows 2 new emails that aren't present

My iPhone shows 2 new email messages in my inbox but there are none. It also has an email from January of 2012 that I can't delete. I think it may be somehow related to sync'ing with my Exchange account but don't know how to resolve. Anyone else have these problems and discover how to resolve them?
Many thanks,
-Paul.

Turn off the Caps lock. That is considered yelling on the Internet and is very rude, plus it is very difficult to read.
Who is your email provider? It sounds like you have an IMAP account and it is functioning just the way it is supposed to.

My IPhone 6 sometimes puts back into my comcast (POP) account old email messages that were previously deleted. Any way to prevent this from happening?

MY Iphone6 sometimes brings back previously deleted email messages. I am using a comcast (POP) email account. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?

Thanks for the reply, but no, I've experienced POP Lock before and this is not it.
To illustrate my problem, currently the inbox of the account in question has seven (7) emails in it, followed by a message that says "Load 18 More Messages... 18 messages total, 12 unread." I have the mail program set to show 50 of the most recent messages. Clicking the message does nothing.

IPad retrieving old email messages

After working well, my iPad has decided to download all 15000 email messages from my ISP server. This is an iPad 1 running IOS 5.
What's going to happen when it runs out of space?
How can I stop this?
What could cause it to suddenly start this?
I cannot set it to delete messages from the server when downloading, because two other computers are also retrieving email from the same account.

If you go to Settings->Mail,contacts,Calendars->choose your exchange account. There should be an option somewhere on how many days to sync. Set this to how far back you want the emails to be stored on your iPad/iPhone.

How to keep old email messages from downloading on new iphone?

I just got an iphone5 and linked it to my google email account. I use Outlook for managing my emails on my computer and have very few emails in the inbox, but my iphone is trying to download 30,000 emails from my main google account. How do I stop it?

ayushrathi thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the mail days to sync option was not there. I'm not sure why not because it should be.
I don't mind deleting most of the gmail messages in that inbox, but I can only find a way to either delete all or only 100 at a time. I would like to be able to delete only those dated more than 90 days old.

TS3274 I keep getting old email messages that I have deleted. How do I get rid of that?

I kep getting old messages in my email box. How do I get rid of this?

Go into settings and the 'mail and contacts' tab, then explore that account set up (accounts set up differently so I can't give specific directions) and see if you see an option to 'delete off server when deleted off device'
You may also need to access the mail account on the web and see if you have to give it permission to allow a mobile device to control it (I had to go into hotmail adn tell it that it was okay if the mobile device controlled the server)
Ultimately what you need is for your iPad to delete the messages off the mail server so they go away for good.

Old Email Messages Won't Delete

Here's an interesting situation (and a first for me): I have about 6-8 emails that I received at various times this week (ironically, at the time that my network was down from the 7.4.1 Airport Update). When I highlight each message individually, the body of the message does not appear in the preview pane, like all other messages I received before these messages, and have received since. Then, when I try to delete them, the message grays out, but will not delete from the Mail window. Any idea what causes this, and how I can delete them for good? (I like neat and tidy Mail windows...!) Thanks.

How do I backup old emails on an external hard disk?

My email has way too many messages. I want to clear it out but save the email onto an external hard drive in case I may want to search them sometime in the future. Should I move them to OldEmails. Can OldEmails be saved to an external disk? How would I do this? Or is there a better way to accomplish this task?
thanks in advance, Nadia

...And then save the archived mail boxes to the external hard drive. That way you can always re-import them into mac mail if need be. Once you've saved the archived mail boxes to the external drive, you could create a folder in mac mail called, for example, 'Old Emails', and then just put all the old emails into there as opposed to deleting them. However, if space on your hard drive is an issue, then you may just want to delete the old emails (from mac mail on your internal hard drive).
Keep in mind if you delete the old email messages from mac mail, and then for example, have to re-setup your email account in mac mail (if issues arise, etc.) all the 'old emails' will come back. They will come back only if they exist on the email server. They won't come back if there not on the server, for example, if you told mac mail to delete the messages off the server (which can be seen in the email account preferences) or deleted them off the server directly yourself. The easiest way to know if the same old email messages exist on the mail server is to log into the your email account via webmail (where you would go to log into your email account via a web browser such as safari). Some email accounts, such as @gmail.com, give very large amounts for storage (you won't run out of space anytime soon) but some offer very little and old emails are deleted off the server to clear space for new messages.
