Old emails keep appearing on my phone.

I have just added my hotmail account to my iPhone 5s and every time I click in mail it downloads all my old emails. So far I have had 2000 emails come through to my phone which I have to keep deleting.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Thank you

Two options
One is to open your email app on your phone and select the account then open the settings for that account and select how many days you want to sync emails
Two is to open the email settings for said account on your Pc and change the pop settings as this could be down to the way your account is setup and may have nothing to do with your phone

When I try to update my apps, an old email address appears and I dont know how to get rid of it? Not to tech savvy! : (

When I try to update my apps, and old email address appears,how I get rid of it? I am not tech savvy at all!

This is happening because they were purchased with your older Apple ID. Apps and there updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID on your phone in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone.

I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

Old emails keep coming back

I am using Mail on a macbook pro with retina display, running OS X 10.9.5. Recently, duplicates of old emails keep coming back into my inbox - unread, as if they were brand new emails. They always come a handful at a time. They show the original dates of receipt, so they appear way down in my inbox and I have to sort by 'unread' to bring them to the top and delete them. There seems to be no rhyme or reason - e.g. some are from contacts, some aren't, some I deleted when I originally received them, some I kept, some I replied to, some I didn't. Any ideas on how to stop this happening?

Cool.
First, when it finds the OLD messages can you actually open them up? If so, you can/should rebuild your Trash Mailbox. I suspect you cannot open the old message though, which points to your Envelope INDEX being messed up.
Quit Mail. Then, under ~/Library/Mail is a file called Envelope Index. Move it to the Trash. Or if that makes you nervous, drag it to the desktop. Open Mail. It will give you a message that will scare you -- a Welcome to Mail or a Mail Message Import window will pop up. This is fine. It will tell you it is importing your mail. Really it sees all your mailboxes but no index so it is creating that index.
See if that doesn't fix your problem.

1000's of old emails keep dumping into mail

Help. My wife has an iBook with Mac OS X Tiger. Last November, I bought her an iPhone and set up her mail account on the iPhone. Since then, 1000's of old emails keep dumping into her laptop Mail inbox. She will take an hour to delete them, but then a week later suddenly they are all back. I deleted the email account on the iPhone in case that had anything to do with it. I don't know if this is a Apple Mail problem or a mail provider issue. I've checked the settings on her mail and can't see anything that affects it. I have the new Mac with Leopard and have never had any problems with mail with my previous iMAC or this one but here laptop is another matter.
Any suggestions?

Which protocol is your wife using with Mail - POP, or IMAP? If it's POP, once the emails appear again, right click on the mailbox in question and select 'Get Info'. Ensure "Show messages: All messages on POP server" is selected, and see if the emails in question are listed. If so, click the 'Remove From Server' button at the bottom on the right.
If not, it appears this is likely an issue with Mail not removing the messages completely when deleted.

If your phone is signed into your old iCloud ID ("email"), you need to delete the existing account then sign back in with your new ID. To do this go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

After some initial issues (which I believe were really part of the "learning curve" for a new device), I'm really loving my LG Ally. However, I have one issue that I just can't seem to figure out how to fix: My home email, which is a POP3 email, keeps sending me "new" emails, that are actually old emails that I have deleted from both my phone and my home email. In some cases, it is even email that I have completely dumped from my "deleted items" on my home email. Why does it do that? I have the settings on my home email account set to NOT save email on the server, so why doesn't it seem to be working? I don't have any problems with my work email which is on an exchange server. Any ideas?
Hi. I am sorry you are having issues with your email and I can certainly look into it for you. When did this start happening? Dif you download any applications before this started happening? Try to delete that particular email account and set it up again to see if that works.
Waiting on your reply!
Thanks!

How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes and old emails to appear on my iPhone?

How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes to appear on my iPhone? I am happy to use any combination of Thunderbird and Apples so that I can sort and archive incoming emails into existing folder (names), and access old emails (1,000s of them) that are only on my iMac now.

First off Thunderbird does not have a version for iPhone so you need to ask the Apple genius how to work your phone. Secondly most mobile devices will not have enough storage for thousands of messages.
Your best solution is to setup IMAP email accounts. IMAP was developed just for this use. The messages are stored on the email providers server and you access and manage them from your computer and mobile devices.

Trying to update my apps with current email but old email keeps popping up!??

Trying to update my app store and it keeps popping up my old email address. How can you change it to your current one? Im trying to sign in but my old one pops up and even when I type in the correct password for the old one it. Says invalid but I want my current email!? HELPPP!!

Did you update your old iTunes account or create a new one ? If you updated the old one then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps (or to redownload its content) - content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account.

HT5622 I changed my email that was associated with my last Apple ID.the old email keeps popping up every time I want to purchase a new app. From the app. Store

I am having trouble getting free appt..from the App Store...I changed my email that is associated with my Apple ID..when I go into the app. Store my old email address keeps popping up..I need help

Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them. Whenever you
try to update an app downloaded with the old ID, you will be asked for that old ID.
Delete the apps and redownload with your new ID - you will have to pay again
for any purchased apps. Or use the old ID. Or am I not understanding what you
are asking?
Did you log out of the AppStore after changing the email and log back in again?
