Removing email from iPhone without removing it from Mobile me server

I currently have an iPhone and several email accounts on different servers. All these accounts give me to option to remove mail from my iPhone without removing them from the server. With Mobile me there is no option available to do this that I've been able to to locate on my iPhone. Does anyone know how to prevent the emails pushed to my iphone not being removed from the server when I delete them from my iPhone? Thanks.

Mobile Me uses the IMAP protocol.
This allows the iPhone + Server + all other PC/Macs you have your account on to remain in sync. Delete an email, it affects all devices with account, read email, read on all devices with account. Etc. Etc.
This is normal for any IMAP based account. POP are the accounts that will not keep things up to date or the same.
By any chance are all the other accounts actually POP? or are they also using IMAP?
Typically you may find a default global settings in Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calenders - On that screen might be some deletion options.

  • Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

    Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

    I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.

  • Send iCloud email from alternative smtp server?

    How do I send iCloud email from alternative smtp server? The setting is 'greyed out' on my iPhone so I cannot tell iCloud to use another server.
    The reason is so I can have my outgoing email appear from my own domain email address rather than my me.com address. Mobileme would allow this - and Mail on the Mac does allow it, but the iPhone under iOS 5 seems not to allow it....
    Any ideas?

    I have spent about 4-6 hours working directly with folks from Tim Cooke's office, various support levels, and through them their engineers.
    As much as I tried to convince them their logic is flawed, the engineers for iCloud come back and say this is expected behavior because somehow it helps secure iCloud from being a spam source. The fine and helpful gentleman from Cooke's office now understands how it is a MobileMail.app client issue, having nothing to do with iCloud servers (because we are in fact trying to bypass their servers) still totes the "it's expected behavior" line from the server engineers.
    I have implored him to follow up with the iOS MobileMail app programmers and not the iCloud programmers. I am hopeful he will. Until then you have to choose between having iCloud push and losing your online identity, or losing push email and keeping your preferred address.
    Fun to try: turn off all smtp servers. Send email. Gets stuck in outbox. Turn on your preferred smtp server. That one email will use your preferred alternate address, but subsequent ones revert back to the old .me.com smtp servers. Personally I believe this points to a client programming error more than reinstating a preferred behavior. Aggravating!
    I spend $500 on a new phone. Google takes away my exchange client ability and apple makes me choose push email vs outgoing email address.

  • Creating accounts and receiving email from a mail server

    Hi,
    I'm wanting to create a web application that creates a new email account for a user when they sign-up on my website. My application will process any email that is sent to that email address and extract parts of the email to store in a database.
    I think I can use JavaMail to poll the email accounts for new emails which will then be parsed and inserted into my database but I don't know how to programmatically create the email account for each user. I'm looking at using either sendmail or postfix as my mail server and this is on either *nix or os x.
    Any advice/pointers to Java APIs would be appreciated. If there's nothing available in Java that can do this kind of thing I'd love to hear about other solutions people know of or think might work :)
    Thanks!
    - E

    Hi there!
    Do the following
    message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED,true);
    folder.close(true);
    store.close();
    these 3 statements will delete email from the mail server.
    get back to me after u try this.
    ciao

  • Config OES/sendmail to forward email from/to Exchange Server

    Hi
    I have installed an OES on a Red Hat ES 3.
    But on my network i have a Exchange Server that send/receive all emails. And i cannot change here nothing(company rules). Now what i need to do? I need to config the Linux sendmail to relay on the Exchange Server(the exchange is now configured relay on Linux) to forward the emails that i need.
    I only need this to one email account e.g [email protected] The Oracle Email Server is running, but i need to config the Linux to forward the email to the Exchange Server, and go to outside. Also i need that receiving an email to [email protected] that my Linux receive this email from the Exchange Server.
    I have configured the sendmail.cf like Oracle says on the Administrator’s Guide manual. I have add the ip and name of the Exchange on /etc/mail/access to relay. But still i cant send emails outside. If i test the sendmail -v testuser, and all says ok. I have tested telnet domain 25, and all went ok.
    I think the only problem is forward the oes to exchange to forward outside
    Any help
    Many thanks
    Thank you
    Jail

    Hi andreas
    Yes i also think that it maybe resolved by an alias and forwarding
    Th COM is the domain in the OES is the com default. Is this domain that you referring?
    The company domain that is in the OES(e.g xpto.com) is the same that is in the Exchange. Do you think this will be a problem? Must i create one like oes.xpto.com? To work with the OES?
    I have created a relay on the access file, but is this ok? Or must i need change anything else? Mean while i will check that url
    And yes i can connect to the Exchange on port 25 from the RH
    Since i have several user/account created on the OES, the only think that i did not understand yet is how can they receive any email?
    The fax@domain was a example. But i can collect all outside emails from that account and with some rules forward to any other OES account? I think this is possible? Or this is the hard way to configure the OES?
    Thank You
    Jail

    IMPA and POP3 has been disabled, but my requirement is I wan to read email.Then ask the administrator of the server to enable IMAP. If you have a valid business requirement to do that, there would be no reason for the administrator to refuse.

  • IPhone deletes Emails from my mail server.

    I have my Iphone 5 set to never remove emails from the server but my Iphone will pick up the email and delete them from the server. My sister is having the same problem. Any ideas?

    Are you using a POP3 server? The server may not be honoring the do not delete request. POP3 is antiquated and should be avoided if at all possible.
    IMAP and Exchange allow full synchronization between the server and all clients. If you delete a message using an IMAP client, it will be deleted from the server.

  • How to prevent iPhone 4 with iOS 5 from deleting email from the MSN server

    when I was running iOS 4 I could sent my iPhone to never delete emails from the server but I just noticed that after the update iOS 5 when I delete an emial from my iPhone it shows up as deleted in my Outlook on my laptop. I looked and was not able to find a setting to prevent my iPhone from deleting emails fromt the server.
    Am I missing something?

    Thank you for responding!  The music I no longer want, I removed.  This is why it's confusing me so much.  The music I've deleted from both my iPhone and my computer is STILL showing up in my Music on iTunes, under my iPhone in devices.  Does that make sense?  I'm not particularly down with the techie lingo.  Haha.

  • I am unable to open some emails from an exchange server.

    Since I updated to iOS7 I have been unable to download most emails from a work exchange server. In most cases it appears to be downloading the message yet nothig appears after a lenghty wait.

    A reset of the device is a good first step:
    Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.
    If you have already done this and it didn't resolve the issue, try remove the email accound and then re-add it.

  • Cannot send email from non .mac server

    I am only able to send/reply emails using my .mac address. My 2 other server addresses keep giving me the following message.
    "Cannot send mail. One of the recipient addresses was invalid".
    How can I fix this?

    You should be able to send email from Safari, however I do wonder why you wish to do this and whether there is something inherently wrong with using your mail app and your iCloud address.

  • Sending Email From Mobile Phone

    So I have Postfix working great and I've always used webmail if I needed to send email from PC's outside of $mynetworks. So fast forward to today where I got my 1st Android powered mobile phone and I can configure the Android mail client to send/receive IMAP email but my question is do I need to become an open relay to allow my random wireless providers dynamic range of IP's to send mail via Postfix? Seems extremely vulnerable and scary to think I would have to allow my providers IP range to relay mail via my MTA. I started reading a bit and I think I need SASL authentication (correct me please if I'm wrong) and since both Postfix 2.8.1 & Dovecot 2.0.11 are configured / using TLS, is there anything else I would need beyond SASL or that you recommend for sending email from my Android powered mobile?

    I'm in the same boat, except that I don't have a smartphone yet - but I'm already outlining the changes to my soho-network.
    I guess you have to secure the mailserver (using SSL + TLS looks ok to me) and also secure the server as a whole: configure iptables to lock it down completely, except for as little ports as necessary: IMAPS and SMTPS, maybe even on an other-than-default port...
    Maybe you are also interested in syncing your calendar: I will be doing that with davical on my server (running for 2 years now) and acal on my Android smartphone: no syncing, but native caldav between server and smartphone...
    The other option would be to install openvpn on your server and always work via your VPN.
