Spam/Junk not deleting from server

Up until recently I have been using Entourage 2004 to view my half dozen different email accounts (some POP, some IMAP). I have a work desktop G5, a traveling MacBookPro and a PowerBook G4 at home. On one particular account the junk has begun flooding in.
In Entourage, I simply clicked on the envelope icon, clicked "delete from server" then deleted it from whichever computer I was running, and never again saw the offending email.
I switched to Mail in Leopard because I felt iSync would be a major help in bringing all computers together. I would have copies of sent mail as well as received mail, and so on.
The problem is: when I delete junk from one computer - it's still there waiting for me on another computer. I know this because if I run Entourage again, all the junk comes pouring back down the line.
How can I delete selected stuff from the servers?
Cheers,
SNaP!

I think more of a Mail application issue or a Mail application issue only.
This doesn't resolve the problem, but although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This isn't a problem with an IMAP account which is designed for this very thing.
Which Comcast app are you referring to? Is there a Comcast app via the iTunes app store? If so and you want to ensure messages are deleted from the server after being accessed with your iPhone, you need to use the Comcast app.

Deleted pop mail not deleted from server

mail retrieved from pop acct & deleted, and trash emptied, is not deleted from server, so it gets re-retrieved.
settings>delete from server> when removed from inbox, but the msgs are still on the server as viewed from the isp's web interface.

been there, done that;-}
Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
it seems mail.app is designed for imap, in that msgs can't be deleted when d/l'd by default, but must be config'd "when moved from inbox"

IMAP option to not delete from server OR recommend alternate mail app?

Using POP in Windows computer and IMAP on iphone.
In the iphone, POP has the opton to "delete from server: never"
There seems no way to accomplish this in the stock mail app when using IMAP ?
Using POP on the iphone is not an option due to the longstanding issue of the Apple mail apps not sending a proper termination signal back. The mailbox remains locked until the server times it out for inactivity and cleans up the stale lock after 10 minutes. The result is "wrong password" on the computer if it then tries to retrieve during that period. It's a feature of POP by design to use a lock to prevent corruption caused by simultaneous access to the mailbox. BUT, BB,Android,Windows all handle this correctly so that their POP transaction (and the mailbox lock) only lasts seconds! Only ever see this persistent lock with Apple mail clients
The user likes to keep his phone inbox clean, he will delete messages as he deals with them as well as messages he is postponing to deal with on computer later.
Moving messages to a 'later' folder won't help, as that 'later' folder will not be available thru POP (for the computer)
They also don't want to use IMAP on the computer because they don't want their communications stored on the server any longer than necessary.
Can anyone recommend:
- Windows IMAP client which downloads all and keeps a local copy of inbox which does not synch with server inbox.
- Alternate mail app for iphone which allows "delete from device only // never delete from server "

That's not how IMAP works. If you want to keep the inbox clean, but not delete the messages, create folders and move the messages into them for later review.

HT2480 email not deleting from server when deleted from ipad

messages are not being deleted from server when deleted from ipad

Hello,
You need to tell us what the email service is. BES? BIS -- and, if so, what email provider? If BES, then see your BES admins. If BIS, then expect it to function in accordance with this KB.
Otherwise, you can try the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Some messages not deleted from server after downloading

We have about 1,000 mail users, all of whom use Apple's Mail app to retrieve their mail using POP. We've seen users' mailboxes on the server where not all messages have been deleted after downloading, even though the user's app has been configured to delete messages immediately after downloading. The strange thing is, undeleted messages appear in large non-contiguous blocks of time. Like there will be 100 messages from January, then 250 from July, and so forth.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Can anyone help me a) understand why this is happening and b) how to fix it? Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

Thanks- but I don't want the messages deleted when they are deleted from my Mac, I want them deleted when I download them. However, I just found the setting so I'm fine.
Thanks, again!
set delete from server when deleted from my mac in mail preferences
And if you want you could tell us a little more - like what type of account, what settings, etc

Hi,
I just worked on same functionality where i used a button to create excel file with context data and save in local system.
Use the following code under a button, So on click of button you can directly get the excel file saved in to your desktop without saving on the server
String ordcaeno="000"sysdate".XLS";
String str = "";
for(int j = 0; j< wdContext.nodeZflash_File().size(); j++)
str =str"\n" wdContext.node<<ABC_File().getABC_FileElementAt(j).getRecord();
try
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
str.getBytes("UTF-8"), WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN
resource.setResourceName(ordcaeno);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal()),
resource.getResourceName());
window.show();
catch(Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException( new WDNonFatalException(ex), false );

Project Files Not Deleted From Server

Thank you in advance if you can help.
Application: Robohelp6/Server6 and earlier versions. Don't
know about 7 or 8.
Output: Webhelp Pro
Background: Whenever I delete a topic from the publisher and
publisher a project to our server, the htm file for that topic is
not deleted. I started calling them "ghost" files because they
should be dead and gone. Some users access these files following a
direct URL hence providing them with outdated information. They
don't normally appear in the application search results but
hyperlinks to them work until the file is removed.
I've tried different publishing options to get them removed.
Check for delete files and republish entire project. The only way I
found to get rid of them is to delete the file from the server
manually. Another option is to delete the project from the server
and republish everything.
Question: Can anyone explain what is going on and if there is
something I can to make sure they are automatically deleted when
publishing.

Welcome to our community, David
I don't believe anything in RoboHelp publishing will actually
ever delete files. It's my experience that any file that needs to
be removed from the server has to be accomplished manually.
So I know this calls into question what exactly does the
option "Check for deleted files" actually DO?" Am I right?
Here's the deal. Upon publishing, a list is created. The
first round takes longest as it is also creating the list. When you
publish again, files are compared to the list.
Need updating? Nope. Skip it and move on.
Need updating? Yes. Copy and replace the file.
The option to check for deleted files slows the process. The
process then becomes:
Need updating? Nope. Does it still exist on server? Yes. Skip
it and move on.
Need updating? Yes. Copy and replace the file.
Need updating? Nope. Does it still exist on server? Nope.
Copy the file and move on.
Hopefully that helps you better understand what is happening.
Cheers... Rick

IPad Mail not deleting from server

Does anyone else have this problem? I have my mail accounts set so that they should delete emails from the server as soon as they are deleted from ipad. It doesn't seem to work though.. as I just came back home after a trip and all the dozens of email messages came flooding into my Mac inbox
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I also need to delete the mail on the ipad's mail trash perhaps...

SO SORRY for not responding.... For some reason I have not been getting emails saying there are replies to this topic.
As it happened, I thought I had solved the problem, but I haven't...
In the settings for my email accounts, I am offered the option of my emails being deleted from their server as soon as I delete them from the iPad email inbox. However, when I choose this option, they are not deleted.
DAVID I do not have the setting that you describe available for my email accounts either... It seems that different setting options appear according to the nature of the email account that is being set up.
It is clear to me that the way I have set things up is correct for what I want though, as it's very clearly stated in Settings... It's just not happening....

Comcast email not deleting from server

Under the "advanced" section I have my email set to remove from server when removed from inbox. Well, this does not happen! Is this an ATT issue or a Comcast issue?
If I use the Comcast app and delete email, it IS deleted from the server.
Thanks!

I think more of a Mail application issue or a Mail application issue only.
This doesn't resolve the problem, but although a POP account can be accessed with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. This isn't a problem with an IMAP account which is designed for this very thing.

Thunderbolt-email not deleting from server

I checked my settings and the box is checked to delete messages from the server once they are deleted off of my phone. This problem is just in the past week or so. I delete them and as soon as email refreshes again they are back. HELP!

ok I deleted and reinstalled the email account and that did not work. I then logged into web mail and deleted the items from the server. I then went to the TB and under settings deleted all data from the mail app. I then set the email account back up and no longer seem to be experiencing the issue. If you are having this issue and need a clearer explanation please let me know. Thanks!

Email access via POP3 not being deleted from server

I have sync'd my phone to my Verizon.net account and everything seems to work great... except one thing. When I delete the email from my phone a copy of it still stays on the server. Unfortunately it is the Droid X and unlike the blackberry it does not give me the option to select to delete it from the mailbox as well. Is there any way to make a setting on my verizon.net account that will provide for better sync'ing? I would like to have my email both on my PC and on my phone - but the point of accessing my email on the phone is so that I can delete the junk and keep what I need to ... this is making me have to do the work twice.
PS I searched through the threads for a similar issue and only came across one. However, the topic was closed by an admin stating that the issue belongs in the wireless community. I'm not sure I agree with this only because the issue has to do with accessing verizon.net mail via POP3 more than it does with the phone being used to access it (I would think anyway). In any case if anyone has some input on this I would appreciate it.

AFAIK, the device in question would have to "delete from server when deleted". The web page (server) has no way to know when you delete it from the phone. The computer can do this, but without that feature on the droid, I think your stuck.

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

Weird.
Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before. In the meantime...
By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu? Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

My icloud email messages disappear on all my devices after about a week and I cannot locate them - not in archive on icloud.
I use several devices to receive emails - imac, ipad, iphone and samsung galaxy note. I put all read emails to trash on samsung, ipad and iphone but keep on imac and wish to retain there for reference. All other accounts remain but icloud emails disappear. No devices say to delete from server. Can anyone please help?

If this is your iCloud email account, whcn you delete an email from any of your devices, they are moved to the trash on all devices/computers, then the trash is automatically deleted after 30 days. That's how IMAP accounts work. You can't delete them from your device and keep it on the server because you are reading and deleting from the server itself.
If you want to keep them on your Mac, you'll need to move them to a folder rather than deleting them. When you do, they will be moved to the same folder on your other devices.

Verizon mail deleted from server is not deleted from IPAD2 but works fine on Android

I have both an Android phone and an IPAD. This Android (RAZR) and my previous one (Droid2) worked fine. Mail deleted from the server is also deleted from the phone. Deleted from phone would delete from server. Worked great. On IPAD, when setting up the Verizon mail account, it defaults to POP and I can set it to delete from server when removed from IPAD. However, mail deleted from the server is not deleted from the IPAD and so I have to remove it manually (a second time). Why does it work on Android and not on IPAD? Settings on Android appear to also be for POP. Can anyone help with this? It's too hard to believe that with so many people using IPADs, that this is such a problem. I've read that Verizon isn't supporting IMAP, but how in the world is the Android phone working?
MrBigHands

Any mail service POP downloads a copy of the message to the phone. It would then need to be deleted from the device itself. What you are referring to where its deleted in both places is an IMAP type email service.

Mail not moving messages or deleting from server until application quitted

I have an Outlook.com email account. When I delete messages or move them in Apple Mail, the change is not reflected on the server until I quit the program completely. This isn't happening with other actions. Mail is immediately marked as read or flagged on the server for example. When I move or delete messages in Mail they actually show up in both the original location and the new location until the application is quitted.
Anything I can do to fix this?
OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
Apple Mail 7.1

Hi Thomas
Yes...personal folders are mailboxes I've created to organize my mail. I know as a fact that this messages still are on the server even after moving them to "personal folders". anyway I think i can get around this issue by rightcliking on the account and then getting account information. I can then filter by "removed from my mac". at that stage there's an option to select those messages and "delete from server"...I think this will work...will try now.
Thanks for your help
