Starred gmail emails disappear from inbox

Hi,
I am using the native mail app on iphone4 for my gmail. I would like to star my emails in my inbox, and retain a copy in the inbox. So far, I could move the email to the "Starred" folder, but this removes the email from my inbox. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Many possible reasons; hard to tell without more information.
Somebody (maybe you) could be deleting them from another device.
A filter on another device could be moving them to another mailbox.
You could be deleting them accidentally.

  • Gmail emails disappearing from my Mail inbox

    Hi,
    I use the Mail program to manage my emails on my MacBook Pro (as well as my iPad and iPhone).  I recently set up a gmail account and have been having a strange problem.  Sometimes after I read a gmail, it disappears from my Mail Inbox folder.  I haven't been able to figure out a pattern as it doesn't seem to do it every time.  When our IT manager configured my computer for gmail, I ended up with a  Gmail folder and two subfolders called "All Mail and one called "Important" on my Mail desktop.  I told him I didn't want or need those folders but he couldn't get rid of them.  When the gmails disappear from my Mail Inbox, I can always find them in one or both of these Gmail folders.  But the problem is I get so many emails I don't always notice that one has disappeared until it is too late! This is causing some significant problems.  No one has been able to figure out how to stop these emails from moving on their own. Our IT manager is more familiar with PCs than Macs.  I hope you can help!!  It's very frustrating!

    No. The email never makes it to me. It is on my iPhone for an instant, but then it disappears. It never makes it to my Outlook on my computer, and it is not in the Junk Mail, Deleted Items, or in my Sonic Wall Spam Filter box. There are 4 other people in my office, and I know that at least 2 of them are having the same problem. I can't tell if this is a problem with my iPhone or my Exchange Server. Help!

  • Emails Disappeared from Inbox

    Have lost about a years of saved emails from my inbox....I DID NOT delete them.  One day they were there the next they are gone.  I have settings on account and phone set to 'never delete'. Comcast foreign operators are of no help and eventually 'hang up' on me.....Poor service...They say can't get them, too bad, so sad.....Now if I was the NSA I could get them!Any way to find them or some other tech number to bypass the robots on the 800 number???Can't afford to lose anymore important emails, so if cannot be resolved, may look elswhere for a provider. 

    Most often email disappears from Comcast's "Xfinity Connect" webmail Inbox because an email program (ex: Outlook, Mac Mail) or mobile device (smartphone, tablet) using the POP protocol downloads the mail and removes it from the server.
    Check all mobile devices and email programs on all computers. The missing mail may be in the Inbox of one of these. If necessary, change the Comcast password for the affected userID to prevent mail from being removed. You can change your password in "My Account" (https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/UserSettings/) under "Users & Preferences" / (username) / "Basic Settings" / Username / "Change password". Once you identify the offending device or program, change its settings to "Leave a copy on the server", and make sure that a "Delete after xxx days" or similar setting is not active.
    The "Email Deletion Schedule" settings in Xfinity Connect do not protect messages from being removed by email programs or mobile devices.

  • Emails disappear from inbox when forwarded

    I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon service. The phone was set up as new. When I forward an email from the inbox to someone, the original email being forwarded disappears from the inbox. In all other mail applications I have used, the original email stays in the inbox. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Thanks.

    I'm running ios7 and this is still an issue.  Has nothing to do with organize by thread. 
    If you forward an email on a device, the original message disappears from your inbox - on any device (even my mac).
    I'm using a POP account.  I see several messages on this in the discussions but no resolution or acknowledgement from Apple.

  • Email disappeared from inbox

    Hi, all of my emails have misteriously disappeared from my inbox on my mac and on my ipad and iphone. I have no clue as to what happened. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi, thanks for responding...
    it happened on multiple accounts, all of them paid and all of them supposedly being backed up on icloud (the messages were erased from icloud too). I access the emails via pop servers.
    and yes, new messages have been accumulating since yesterday. I'm really worried, because there is a lot of professional messages I lost.
    Please help!
    Thanks again

  • Emails disappearing from inbox.

    Hi guys
    Ive been having this weird problem with my N8 recently.  After I sync my inbox, and emails are downloaded, about five minutes later when i resync, the emails disappear one by one within a matter of seconds until the inbox is empty!  I have exhausted all options on the mail setup menu, I don't know what else to do.
    Anyone had similar problems, or does anyone know how i could resolve this issue?
    Thanks Guys

    Hi desartco,
    Welcome!
    You did not mention your operating system. That would be helpful so we can move this to the Yoga Tablet Forum.
    Assuming that your tablet is running Windows, depending on which email client you are using (Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo!, or other account) look there. Your mail app is probably showing only new arrivals.

  • Email disappears from inbox

    Every once in awhile a new email shows up in my inbox and disappears about 2 seconds later...  Any ideas?
    I am using Lion, Google Apps Gmail and IMAP....
    Please help

    Stylr,
    We have multiple computers,iphones,and an ipad.  My wife started getting just a few seconds of an email, and then...POOF! Nowhere. I started turning off various machines and devices to troubleshoot.  In our case it was one of the kids macs.  She had her icloud email account setup in mail on their login ( as well as many other places).  We had parental controls on, limiting the kids incoming emails to known individuals. This also bounced my wifes mails, which then propagated on all of her devices.  This still bounced her mails when I deactivated that email account on the kids computer login.  It stopped as soon as I deleted her email account on the kids login.  I was able to recreate it by then re-adding her email account to the kids login on the imac.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • Why do my emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2

    The emails disappear from the inbox of my iPad 2? The only way I can retain them is to move them to the Trash box.

    Hi Venks,
    I'm not sure if it's the same issue but have a look at the thread below:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=56357
    My inbox had emptied and the sent/draft/outbox folders had disappeared from the mailbox.
    I hope this helps.

  • Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

    My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
    With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
    BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
    Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
    Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
    The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
    I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

  • Emails disappear from iPhone with exchange

    I have gmail set up with exchange and after a period of time the emails disappear from the iPhone, but remain on my computer and gmail account. I have changed the 'days to sync' to no limit, but no change. I have also changed the 'show email' setting to the max (200 messages) but nothing changes.
    Thanks

    UPDATE - the emails have not reappeared! It must have taken a moment to re-sync

  • SMS disappeared from Inbox

    I have just formatted the Nokia N95 8GB phone due to the error showing as "Startup Failure". There was SMS in inbox earlier. However, when i started installing software - Mini Opera/Fring/MFE/Yamee etc- i have realized that all the SMS are disappeared from Inbox - Inbox is completely empty. Can anybody suggest on how this has occured and how can i restore those missing SMS?

    This seems to be a common issue with the S60 mobile operating system.  No comment from Nokia regarding a resolution so far.
    My E75 phone has also experienced the disappearing-messages-act saved in my SD card when my phone restarted from a low battery shut down.  Inbox/Draft/Sent Items were completely wiped out.
    I tried to change the SMS location from SD Card to Phone Memory then back to SD Card again.
    I also tried to (safely & properly) remove the SD Card then reinserted it back.  Still no go.
    The worst part is that I spent 3 days searching the Internet and found that it's not rare for this problem to occur on an S60 platform yet no resolution from the web nor does Nokia offer any solution to it's customers.
    They're about to lose a 12 year loyal and solid Nokia Fan (along with his friends and relatives to migrate to the Blackberry & iPhone Bandwagon) soon if they can't help us retrieve the important messages that was wiped out from our inbox. <sigh>..

  • Work Item or Document is disappear from Inbox

    Hiya,
    Any ideas on why the workflow item or document is disappear from inbox SBWP once you clicked to display/view the document without perform any task action.
    Cheers,

    Hiya Raj,
    "you can check log of executed workitem from SBWP, go to OUTBOX-> "WORK ITEMS EXECUTED BY ME" .there you can find workitems you performed from your INBOX."
    Those work items which have executed are flow to OUTBOX -> Work Items Executed By ME.
    Where is the place to check logs?
    However as mentioned those messages in both inbox folder "Unread Document" or "Document" is disappear after you clicked on either those folders without read the message or perform any action. Any ideas?
    Cheers..
