TS3274 I keep getting old email messages that I have deleted.  How do I get rid of that?

I kep getting old messages in my email box.  How do I get rid of this?

Go into settings and the 'mail and contacts' tab, then explore that account set up (accounts set up differently so I can't give specific directions) and see if you see an option to 'delete off server when deleted off device'
You may also need to access the mail account on the web and see if you have to give it permission to allow a mobile device to control it (I had to go into hotmail adn tell it that it was okay if the mobile device controlled the server)
Ultimately what you need is for your iPad to delete the messages off the mail server so they go away for good.

  • Cannot get old email messages onto new Z10

    I have a bb9800 and am trying to get the old email messages off of it onto the new Z10. The 9800 only had the telus.blackberry.net email address and on the Z10 I have the company email. Is there a way to get those emails over other than forwarding them all individually

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If you mean that you wish to have your old @telus emails visible on your Z10, the answer is no. That email was provided by BIS, and BB10 does not use BIS. Hence, those email addresses cannot be configured to a BB10 device. So, the only way to have those emails on the BB10 device is via forwarding from the @telus email account over to one that indeed can be integrated to the Z10.
    BTW -- you need to migrate off of that @telus email address, as it will be going away. They are allowing one year of auto-forwarding (which you need to configure...contact Telus for assistance), after which that @telus email address will cease to exist.
    Good luck!

  • Browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config to get old download panel Does NOT work. How do I get it back?

    Firefox 26:
    The fix turning browser.download.useToolkitUI to true on the about:config does not work. How do I get rid of the library crap and get my download panel back?

    Mozilla, if a large number of people use a feature to the point that they are digging in to the configuration to re-enable it when you turn it off my default, please don't remove the feature altogether. It disrupts users' browsing experience and upsets them.

  • New iMac--getting thousands of old email messages!

    I just got a new iMac and after I added my MobileMe email address in Apple Mail, it started downloading 8,000 old email messages! I have checked in Apple Mail Preferences and in MobileMe mail preferences and I cannot figure out what I need to change in order to tell the MobileMe Mail server to delete all email messages that are over two years old. Can someone help me figure this out?
    Thanks!

    There is no way to do this automatically with an Inbox that resides on the IMAP server. Such a time setting is only available with a POP3 server -- in which case deleting from the server does not delete from the Mac.
    If you create a Smart Mailbox to segregate the older messages so you can manually delete them, then if you do that, they will not be on the old Mac either.

It is becoming a problem with getting some USA aps and content
    Thank you

    iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
    Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
    Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

  • Getting old 'Sent" messages from server onto my Mac

    I am using Mail 2.1.3 on a Mac Mini with OSX 10.4.11.
    I have used web mail (earthlink) exclusively for a number of years and now want to switch to a new email provider. I would also like to start using Apple Mail. I need to preserve my old send messages as well as my old inbox messages.
    In doing some testing, I can get old inbox messages to come down from the server into Mail on the Mac. However I have no idea how to get the old 'Sent" messages down. Can't find anything about it in Help or elsewhere.
    I'm logging into server mail via POP.
    Can anyone help put me on the right path? Thanks.

    Never mind, I figured it out for myself.
    I contacted earthlink and they were useless, as usual. They do not support IMAP and they insisted it was "impossible" to export messages from the sent box or archive them in any way. When I pushed back on that, they told me one way would be to go into each message and forward it to myself (thus having it appear in my inbox.) With thousands of messages, that was not going to happen.
    So I poked around and realized that right on the menu is an option to move messages from one box to another. I mass selected all the messages in my sent box and moved them to my inbox, and they all came down to my Mac. Easy as could be.
    The messages are now co-mingled all in the inbox, (but still in order by date) but that's okay, because I just need to archive them.
    FYI for anyone else having this problem, I am switching to gmail, and I also found out that gmail has an option for pulling all your old messages into their mail service, with many common email providers supported. Whether this pulls in the sent messages or just the inbox, I don't know. But gmail supports IMAP, so if you can get them over there, you should then be able to get them down to your Mac/PC. So that could be another option.

  • My itouch mail keeps loading old emails and displaying them as unread.  If I delete them it just loads 50 more older ones

    My itouch mail keeps loading old emails and displaying them as unread.  If I delete them, 50 more load....old ones that I have long since read and discarded.  Any suggestions.  It appears to be only 1 of my email accounts that does this.  I have deleted the account and resynced to get it back in use, but 50 old emails come up as if they are new unread ones.  Thanks for any help.

    I am having the same issue and it started the same day.  My other mac does it as well but has been an issue for two years.  I just gave up on it and stopped using email from that mac.  I just spend 4 days trouble shooting ti myself when i had time and now spent 2 hours with apple on a chat and screen share and they couldnt solve it either.

    Hello,
    My old emails address which I have used as my apple id for 10 years is being made redundant. I have changed the email address to a new gmail one and this is my new apple id. But my iMac has not recognised this. It keeps saying it wants the password for my old email address. I have seen some advice on these forums which suggest signing out of iCloud and then back in again. But when I start doing this it asks me if i want all the photos deleted that have not been downloaded onto the mac.
    I have had an iCloud account for quite sometime and I'm afraid of losing everything in my cloud if i sign out and sign in with a new id.
    Is this fear realistic?
    I know I can change back to my old email, sign out and then sign in wight he new one...
    Please help!

    This did not work for me.  My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook.  I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up.  I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • How can I get my email messages to open in one click with Mail app?

    Hello,
    How do I get my email messages to open with just one tap? On my newer Macbook I just click once on the Mail app and my messages open automatically but on the Powerbook it takes two clicks. Can this be fixed to just one click? I've gone into preferences but can't seem to change it.

    Carolyn,
    Thanks, I was wanting to just click once on a message and have it open right away and then be able to quickly go through my messages. I found the solution from another helpful Mac user. You just move the separator bar that divides your messages from the view pane and move it up and it works like a charm.

  • On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

    I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

    You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
    NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • I've received a message that says my message can't be sent.  Unfortunately, the list of recipients is so long I can't see the bottom to click "try another server".  The message won't scroll.  How can I get to the options at the bottom?

    I've received an error messagae that says my message can't be sent.  Unfortunately, the recipient list is so long I can't see the bottom of the error message to click "Try again" or another option.  The message won't scroll.  How can I get to the bottom of the message?

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
