Option for deleting mail from the server?

hi,
is there an option in mail that would enable me to delete messages from my server when i delete them from my mail client but keeps the messages i did not delete on my server?
i know there is an option to delete messages after they've been downloaded, but that's not what i want.
thanks!

Hi,
I would like for this very thing to happen ...moving mail from my inbox deletes it from the server. However, I've checked that option in the prefs, but it doesn't work.
I can delete mail [from server] when retrieving it "right away", and I can "remove now", but the "when moved from inbox" options does nothing.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
PS: I've heard about the cool features of Mail 2.0, but keep in mind that I'm using Panther (w/Mail 1.3.11)
iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB

  • Deleting mail from the server - not working properly

    Hello all,
    I usually remove all spam from the mail server as soon as it comes in to avoid it arriving in all our office mailboxes.
    Since upgrading to Leopard, I've run into some hickups.
    After going to apple-i, I select the spam messages, click on 'delete from server', confirm this in the pop-up window... after which nothing happens. While I should get an updated list of messages on the server, and a new number and size of messages in the bottom left corner.
    I sometimes have to repeat the procedure two or more times before the selected messages are deleted.
    Anyone else having the same problem?

  • IMAP and deleting messages from the server

    Anyone else trying to use IMAP in the default mail app and seeing that messages deleted locally are not removed from the server?
    I found a lot of posts about this issue on older Android versions and devices, but nothing for the Bionic yet.
    And unlike for POP accounts, there is not an option in the settings to turn this on. IMAP is all about keeping messages and folders in sync between multiple clients, so this is an annoying bug.
    I have been using K-9 as a work around, but I'd rather not use two different mail programs, and don't like the look/feel of K9 as much either.

    DCZim,
      Are you using IMAP or POP?  Also, are you using a popular public IMAP service like GMail, MSN, etc. that can be "auto configured" without having to manually enter the server name?
      Per Google the IMAP bug (which has been fixed some time ago in the Android Mail app but not yet in Motorola's Blur mail app) is triggered by visiting the incoming server settings for the account.
      IMAP's entire purpose it to keep everything in sync between multiple devices/clients.  If you want to delete messages on your phone without deleting them from the server, you should use POP3 instead of IMAP and ensure you have the client configured to NOT remove messages from the server when deleted locally and to always "leave a copy of message on the server".  This is a general concept of POP3, nothing specific to the Bionic, Blur, or Android.

  • Macmail no longer has the option to delete messages off the server

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my macmail (6.2) no longer has the option to delete messages off the server in preferences / advanced settings.
    I recently had troubles with the mailbox quota being full (ie everything stored on the server) and don't want to go in and manually delete things.
    The research I've done suggests it should be as easy as checking or unchecking a box, however it's not there where it should be .
    Help please!

    Hi therese,
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors. Set the Trash section to move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox, and then to Store the deleted messages on the Server. Select how often you want deleted messages to be permanently removed from the server.
    Also, if you have stuff in the Trash, and you select some or all of it, and then go to Edit>Delete, it will ask you at that time if you want to delete it from the Server or just the Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • IPhone in deleting mail from my server? Help please

    i have an ATT / Yahoo e mail acct. and never had this problem before.
    As i have a phone and a home computer, i have always had the phone leave the mail on the server and that way I could also get it on my home computer. Now the phone deletes the mail off the server os I can't get it at home.
    I have checked my phone settings but nothing helps.
    Any suggestions would be great before i take a trip down to the ATT store.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Unless you had it set up as a POP account before with a specific setting not to delete messages from the server after download, I'm not sure why it would have behaved differently. This is the way it's always worked for me. It's basically an IMAP account with support for push notification. Nearly indistinguishable from an Exchange account. It synchronizes fully with the server. Deletions will be reflected on all devices using IMAP to access the host inbox.

  • Phone not deleting messages from the server

    Please help! My Blackberry Curve 9360 is not deleting messages from the server meaning that, after returning home from a week working away, i've still got a few hundred messages to wade through on my PC.
    I receive e-mails on the PC via Outlook Express. I've clicked on 'tools', 'accounts' then 'advanced' to ensure that the box for 'leave a copy of the message on the server' is unchecked i.e. messages sould be being deleted from the server when prompted to by the phone but this is not happening. Not sure what else to try or perhaps there was something i did / didn't do during the set-up of the phone.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Barry.

    Hello,
    Please check this KB:
    KB05133 Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    All reconciliation capabilities between your BB and your email SERVER are governed by that KB. So, even if you set the other settings (e.g., "Delete On") correctly, they will be irrelevant if your email service does not support it (as per that KB).
    Further still, reconciliation between your email SERVER and your PC CLIENT software are something completely separate. Only in a very few circumstances (e.g., IMAP) does (for instance) Outlook reconcile items deleted at the Server down to the PC Client.
    Good luck!

  • How do I set up Mail to remove deleted mail from Brighthouse server?

    My Brighthouse/Time Warner Mail says I am at 100% capacity and I need to go to the roadrunner site and manually delete items from the server. I used to have a PC and there was a way to set up outlook so that when I deleted an email, it would be taken off the server.
    How do I set this up in Mail?  (I said safari but meant mail earlier)

    Hi there jhoche1,
    It sounds like you are looking for the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" setting. This setting can be found at Mail > Preferences... > Accounts > Advanced. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • T-code for delete file from application server

    Hi all!
    Please, has any t-code for delete file from application server? For upload exist CG3Z, for download has CG3Y. And for delete? Has anyone?
    I need to delete file from application server in QA system and i don't want to create a program for this because i will need to transport a request from DEV to QA.

    I don't have contact with basis team.
    The FM EPS_DELETE_FILE support directory name with max 60 char. My dir. has more than that. I need a transaction for this.
    Anybody know if this transaction exist?

  • I can't access my mail from the server!!!

    I am having trouble retrieving mail....I click on "Get Mail" and nothing happens. When I select the inbox and Get Info, it shows that there are a number of new emails on the server, yet my Mail program does not want to retrieve them. I checked to see if my account was enabled (under Preferences) and it is....I don't understand what the problem is...this is happening in a networked office of 10 other macs, and only one other person is having this exact same problem. very weird. internet works fine.
    any suggestions? I'm about to download a new mail program like entourage if this keeps up.
    thanks,

    POP account.
    We own Entourage already, so that isn't a problem.
    Right now we're using www.mail2web.com as a temporary solution, but that isn't really practical for a professional architecture firm where email records are essential to our business.
    I would love to keep using Mail, I really have no idea how to fix this problem. I don't know why it is only happening to 2 of our 10 computers, there is no difference in the setup of any of them, and this started mid-morning, so I know that the users did nothing to the settings. It just stopped wanting to pick up mail from the server.
    File size does not seem to matter, because one of the computer's mailboxes has about 10,000 emails saved, and the other has about 20, and they are showing the exact same behaviour. It is really strange!

  • Cannot download mail from the server after a particular date

    Hi, I just set up my pop3 account on the Iphone. That was easy
    I started downloading the mails. It download all the mails till Wednesday morning and then just stopped. Since then I've tried to re-install the email account, download the mails again, reboot the handset but nothing seems to work. Each time it only downloads the mails till Wednesday morning and stops there.
    My Gmail account on the other hand works fine and is up to date with the email notifications.
    Any advise on how to go about this?
    -B

    Most POP3 clients delete messages from the server on download.  Are you positive you don't have another mail client set up somewhere (on your home or work computer) that may have already pulled them down and deleted them from the server?

    After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail.  I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails.  However, all of my historical e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?
