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 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.

  • Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone

    Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?

    If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
    If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox.

  • Iphone 5S email doesn't mirror netzero email account - cannot delete emails

    When I delete emails on iphone 5s, message aren't really deleted on netzero email account. Also, after deleting messages on pc, same email still shows up on phone.

    The best I can tell, Netzero's mail service is limited to POP, which presents some issues when using on multiple devices unless you stick to the web interface. With POP, the messages are downloaded to the device, either leaving them on the srrver (menaing you will still get them on other devices) or removing them from the server (you will ONLY get them on the devoce you first download them to). You might want to contct NetZero to see if there are any options. However, I strongly recommend finding an IMAP based mail provider for a multidevice scenario. Gmail, Apple's iCloud mail are two examples, but there are more. Not clear if NetZero offers IMAP or not.

  • Deleting an email account WITHOUT deleting emails sent to it

    I haven't dared try this for awhile so forgive me (and let me know) if this has been fixed in a recent upgrade of mail.
    I have several email accounts in mail. I need to keep the mail sent to one of the addresses that I no longer use (because it got too much spam). Last time I tried to delete the account, every single email ever sent to that email address was deleted as well. As they are business emails I need to keep, this is VERY problematic. My messages are all neatly filed in about 60 separate project folders within mail.
    So my question is - how do I keep the mail messages but delete the account?
    At the end of the day I need to be able to access the mail messages again by using some kind of search function. They don't necessarily have to stay in mail but they do need to be accessible again. Is this possible?

    Deleting a POP account only deletes the messages stored in the account’s mailboxes. If you move those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes or to the mailboxes of another account, you won’t lose them. It’s not that Mail goes after your mail trying to delete as much as it can. It’s just that if a mail account is deleted, then its mailboxes cannot exist anymore...
    And just to be clear, it’s not just the messages in Inbox that would be deleted if you delete the account. Messages in any of the other account’s mailboxes (i.e. Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk) would also be deleted if you don’t move them to other mailboxes as well.
    Alternatively, a quick and simple procedure to create a duplicate of the account’s mailbox structure as “On My Mac” mailboxes would be importing them doing File > Import Mailboxes, choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and selecting the ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver account folder.
    That said, instead of deleting the account right away, you can just disable it (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), leave it that way for some time, and delete it only after making sure you didn’t miss anything while the account was disabled.
    BTW, if you back up your data, and the ~/Library/Mail folder in particular, you won’t have to worry about accidentally losing anything as a result of doing something like that...
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Yahoo email resending me deleted emails

    i have my yahoo email account on my iphone 3gs and every other day it seems to be resending me emails i have already deleted,im not understanding why this is happening and i hope someone can help me..thanks

    I have the same exact issue with the same emails that I have deleted coming back over and over again. This ONLY happens with my Yahoo email. It's rather annoying and I have yet to figure out how to fix that issue. My Yahoo is NOT set up as a POP3 account. My Comcast is set up as a POP3...but my Yahoo, I set up directly in my iPhone by going into settings and then adding an account and clicking on Yahoo Mail. How do I configure it as an IMAP account?

  • Email Refreshes and deletes emails

    Hi, new to Palm Pre - and mostly enjoying it
    However whenever my email refreshes it deletes all the emails permanently and  they are not in the trash box - just gone !!
    So whenever I open the email App all the email get deleted.
    Is there a setting I have wrong?
    As with others the refresh works on its own and when opening regardless of the setting. 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

    Thanks for your response - - that was not the issue- I had it set to all
    I think I have it figured out
    The email clears out when I download from my main computer - I have left the Pre Email to leave iemail  on server -but my computer to remove email from the server.
    so when I download and clean off all emails from the server it removes all from the Pre when it refreshes.  Does this make sense??

  • Why does itunes download already deleted apps from icloud?

    Here is the order: I downloaded an app on my iphone using 3G. I delete the app from my phone. A few days pass by. I am in an area with WIFI. Both my phone and computer are on WIFI. iTunes automatically starts downloading everything I have on my phone that was not there during the last sync. I want it to do this.
    Here's the problem: itunes is downloading apps I already deleted from my phone. How can I stop this? Does icloud not register that I don't have the app on my phone anymore?

    If you truly want it gone, you need to delete it from iTunes/iCloud as well as the iPhone.
    There is no setting for individual apps. If you don't want any apps to sync, there is a check box under the app listing in your iPhone's Apps tab in iTunes. Not sure if/where it is in iCloud.

  • Treo 700wx (Verizon) AOL Email: How to Delete Email

    I have AOL setup on my Treo running Windows Mobile 5.0.  Every time I delete an email from my Treo, it will repopulate the email after the next sync.  How do I get the email to stay deleted?  Very Frustrating.
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

    I did try that link.  When I enter my email address it tells me there is no known yahoo account associated with it.
    I called Verizon Tech help today got transferred 4 times and no one was able to help nor did they understand my issue.  I also had trouble understanding their accents.
    At this point I'd be happy to just unlink yahoo from my verizon.net account but no body seems to understand or be able to help.  I explained that there appears to be a defect on the web site when I click change password in verizon/yahoo email page it takes me to a Yahoo page with my verizon email address prepopulated as the login id.  When i enter my verizon.net password the credentials fail.  Then I click the 'can't log in link' which prompts me for my email address associated with a yahoo account.  The response is there is no account.  I am in a perpetual circle.
    Its amazing that Verizon can engineer the system, build the GUI but the suppor people don't even understand what a bug is.  All they want to do is reset my password.  We've done that 10 tmes but it doesn't seem to carry over to the yahoo portal. 
    I also understand Verizon no longer uses yahoo email with new customers which may explain why this integration and support is broken down.  This gets me back to wanting to divoce my account from yahoo but folks on the support end don't understand what I'm trying  to do.  After the 4th transfer and silence after I explained the entire situation I told them to forget it, as I'll create a gmail account.  Probably better off anyway siince they support imap.

  • Mail trying to download an email message already deleted from the server

    And it won't download anything else. How do I get the program to recognize that this message has already been deleted?

    Try the following.
    With the Mail.app quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
    Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and empty the Trash.
    Launch Mail and if successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any new messages available at the server that have not been downloaded.

  • Emails downloading but blank, emails downloading but blank

    Hi I am receiving my emails but all I get is the heading when I open the email I get a blank message. have tried resyncing through Itunes and checking my settings but no success. Can anyone assist please?
    My Ipad works ok with the same computer. Thanks

    Did you restrict email to load over wifi only?
    it is possible your 3G coverage is not enough to load email.
    you can try deleting your email account and adding it back.
    if you are using the built in mail app, try downloading a different app.  I use gmail and yahoo mail app because the built in app is terrible. 

  • Lost all email when I deleted email accounts and created new accounts in Thunderbird, this is due to complications changing password. How do I get mail back?

    First, I did not do a backup, did not think I needed one, my bad. I recently had to change my passwords in the ISP Server and of course in Thunderbird. There were complications, none of my email clients, both Outlook and Thunderbird on multiple computers, would authenticate the new passwords, in working around them I changed to imap from pop3, then later tried to change back to pop3, did not want to work, so, I deleted all of the accounts and recreated them back under pop3, in that process I seem to have lost all of my mail folders. Is there a way to get them back? I have deleted and recreated accounts before and not had this problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Your messages might still be there in your Thunderbird profile folder.
    You could create a new account and then point to the folder that already exists.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    How did you go about deleting the email account? If it was a BIS-based email conduit, then here is the procedure you should have followed:
