Receiving emails on iphone but not on laptop...

Hey
My Iphone seems to almost be 'stealing' emails from my computer so much that they can only be accessed on the phone - it didn't do this initially, only recently, and it doesn't do it with one of my two accounts and only with selected emails in my default account.
Also, when I tried to access the emails on iphone, it says 'message could not be downloaded from the server' and there is a particularly important email which I can only read the 5 previewed lines of in the inbox as it isn't appearing in Windows Mail.
Any help???

Hi Jemina13,
One thing you might also want to check out is your spam settings.
The iphone does not have a spam filter.
If you updated your antivirus or spam filter on your computer this might cause the issue that your are explaining about misc email not downloading to the computer but shows on the iphone.
Now the issue about the content of this message not available for download, could be a pop3 issue as suggested by m.bode. When the iphone initially receives an email, it just downloads the header. Then when you tap on the email, it downloads the body of the email. If the iphone has downloaded the header of the email, but the computer has downloaded and erased the message of the server, there is nothing left on the email server for the iphone to download. So, when you tap on the email to view it, you get the error message you explained.
Hope this helps.

  • TS2621 I have a Mac desktop for home and recently bought new iPhone 4s. I was receiving email on both, but all of a sudden am only receiving email on iPhone and not on iMac at home. How do I remedy this?

    I have an iMac desktop for home and recently bought an iPhone 4s. I was receiving my email on both, but now it only goes to my phone. How do I remedy this?

    My problem is the opposite. My desktop apparently removes the mail from the mail servers before my iPad can read it.
    One of my email accounts is a POP account. mail has a setting to leave the mail on the server, but I can't see that it makes any difference. The mail going to that account still doesn't make it to my iPad. I also have an IMAP account, but I don't see a similar setting.
    I would like to be able to use my desktop as my main email platform, but I also want to see the latest using my iPad when I am traveling.

  • Can send email from iphone but not from mac.

    Hi. I'm using a mac desktop and the mail app. I can receive email, but not send. I checked my port and id/pswd and still cannot send. After the app tries to send, it says the server is offline.
    I am able to send email fine with my iphone.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I've checked this and mail connection doctor says I am connected  - think I am going to have to get someone in to help me as I have spent about 4 hours on this now :-(

  • Getting emails on iPhone but not the desktop

    I switched to iMap email settings on both iPhone and the desktop. And I noticed that quite often  I do not receive my emails on my desk top, in spite the email application on my iPhone is closed. Strange why the server prefers the iPhone and why not chose both to treceive?

  • Deleting downloaded email from iphone but not web server

    I recently purchased an iphone 3gs. My wife has had an iphone 3g for over a year. I am having a problem deleting email on my 3gs. Whenever my wife downloads mail to her phone, she can delete if off her phone but leave it on the web server for our internet provider. This way we can still download all of our mail into Oulook on our home computer. Whenever I download email to my 3gs and delete it from my phone it also deletes it from our web server and either puts iit in the web server trash or on my iphone trash folder, whichever I have it set to go. How do I set up my iphone 3gs so that after I download email to my iphone 3gs, I can delete it from the iphone 3gs and not delete the web server version?

    Does the email account provider for the account support accessing the account as a POP or IMAP account?
    If so, it sounds like your wife is accessing the account as a POP account with the iPhone's Mail application and you are accessing the account as an IMAP account.

  • Receive email on iphone but no bell

    Not sure but one of my friends has had the iPhone 3G and it's been great.  She has to return the phone back tot he company.  She loves the phone (that model) and will not upgrade to an iPhone 4 or 4S. So she purchased the iPhone 3G for 0.99.  Her complaint with this phone, and she had it replaced, is that when she gets an email, normally a bell sound is heard right away.  Well now there seems to be a delay.  Perhaps it's her but I thought I would ask the community for some guidance.  Perhaps something you can provide where I can look at.  Her phone is set to fetch emails.
    Thank you!
    Gilbert

    Usually with pop access when you read mail on one device (computer) it'll not download on another, you might be better setting up the account again & using imap if it's possible.

  • Delete exchange email from iphone but not from PC

    I just set up an exchange email with my outlook on my pc. We do not use gmail. I want to be able to have my calendar and contacts sync automatically. However, if I delete mail from my phone, I do NOT want it deleted from my computer. I've searched for answers and can't find any that solve the issue. The phone is 5s.

    I really hate to disappoint you, but IMAP and Exchange both act the same way. Mail is stored on the server, when mail arrives, it is synced to all devices. When mail is deleted, it is synced on all devices. You cannot store mail locally in an IMAP or Exchange account. The best answer to your dilemma is to set the amount of days to sync on the phone so you are only observing a smaller amount of mail versus removing the actual mail. Again, as Meg mentioned, you can always manage your mail on the computer and move mail out of the inbox into storage folders if you really want to keep the mail to view/search on the computer, but it would not necessarily be visible on the phone. You can set your Inbox sync to as low as 1 day, so you would only see a single day's mail on the phone, while retaining all of your mail on the server.
    Hope this helps.

  • Delete emails from iPhone but NOT server ?

    Hi all,
    I have just upgraded to a iPhone 5C from a 4S.
    On my 4s, when i deleted my emails from the Mail app, it kept them unread on my computer/ipad.
    With my 5c, it deletes them from the server when deleting on the phone.
    How do I have it so when I delete emails from my 5C, it keeps them UNREAD in my inbox on the computer?
    Looks everywhere, I have all HOTMAIL accounts
    Thanks

    You will need to set up the Hotmail account as a POP3 account instead of an IMAP account.

  • I am on holiday in Hungary. I can receive emails via thunderbird but not send them

    My internet connection is good, When trying to send an emailE I get the message that it cant be sent.etreden bij het verzenden van e-mail. The mail server answers 5.7.1 Unable to relay this address

    Sometimes local ISP's may block port 25 which is commonly used to send mail. You could try your webmail to see if it works from there or check which port your outgoing server is using.

    Hi Go to Settings email accounts delete each account then add back again. Text messages are run by your network provider check with them for that problem.  Cheers Brian

  • HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

    HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

    Hi Melatina66,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
    2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable?  If  yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
    3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
    4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
    Thank you.

    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

    To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.
