Keep Mac Mail from Deleting Emails On Server

I have 2 Yahoo! acc'ts linked to Mac Mail.
On the first acc't, after all my emails downloaded, I then deleted all the emails in Mac Mail (didn't need them). When I logged back into my acc't in Yahoo! (on browser), I saw that, there too, all my emails had been deleted.
I need to keep this from happening in my 2nd acc't. How can I delete the emails within Mac Mail, WITHOUT deleting the emails from the server?
I'm using Mac Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hi
You will have to look at a POP3 account that leaves the mail on the server.
I have not seen a setting in active sync that stop mail from being deleted. If you make a change on your phone it will update the mailbox.
Mails will be in the deleted items. How are users "accidently" deleting mail when you actually have to press the delete/trash button?

Hotmail and Mail Synchronisation: Deleted Emails

Hi Everyone, I purchased my first MacBook in September 2008, which is essentially the same as the MacBook Pro and I purchased it within the time it was called MacBook only! In September 2013, where I was operating my old MacBook on the newest system available, it crashed and wouldn't restart anymore - turns out the memory is broken and needs to be replaced (error noise and grey screen, when starting the MacBook). However, now I urgently need some Email and Photo data from that MacBook and therefore did an imaging of the harddrive in order to copy all the data and am now experiencing the following problems:
1. Hotmail Mails - After Synchronisation with the Mail application, all emails deleted themselves on the Microsoft servers online and therefore could not be synchronised from the hotmail servers themselves and is solely stored on my old MacBook. When I tried to open and find the data on the copied files on my new MacBook via a harddrive, I could not access the mail folder because it simply was inexisting within the Mail application itself - please can you help me find a way to restore those old Mail items?
2. iPhoto - I secured my iPhoto library with Macfort and can't remember what my Macfort password was

Apple mail not deleting emails

I am on 10.6 and have tried deleting emails by either highlighting the email and hitting delete, or moving them to the trash, going to edit and emptying the mail trash. Sometimes this reduces the number of emails in Apple Mail, sometimes not. Most of the time it doesn't. No matter what I do, even though the email has disappeared from the inbox the number of emails in my inbox remains constant

Hi, is this a POP or IMAP acount?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Reboot, then in Mail, highlight that Mailbox, then in Mail's Mailbox menu, choose Rebuild... any change?

My iPhone mail app deletes emails from my hotmail. How can I get my MacBook Air mail app to do the same?

Hi
When using Mail on my MacBook Air (I don't open it often), i receive hundrends of emails through it, even if those messages have been deleted from my iPhone/hotmail.
When i set up Mail on my iPhone there was an option that enabled deleted/read messages to also be deleted/read on hotmail automatically.
I can't work out how to join up my MacBook mail with this too? Anybody know what I mean and can help??
Thanks

Comcast is POP email. I have it as well. POP email does not sync across devices. If I read an email on my iPad it will appear as unread on my Mac in the Mac Mail App when I launch it.That's how POP accounts work. The emails will not sync across devices.

Mail wont send emails

Hi
I have had a look at some of the forums around trying to come up with a solution still I cant find one.
I have 1 email pending in my outbox and it wont let me send them saying my password is incorrect. It seems to be just recently when I changed my hotmail pasword. I have gone into the Mail preferences and changed the SMTP outgoing mail but it still comes up with it when ever i need to send an email.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Amanda

Is the problem that Mail will not send ANY emails or that you cannot Reply to some emails.
If the former, look at your SMTP settings (not just the SMTP address) to ensure that your port number and authentication type are correct for your current ISP. Being abroad might have reset these.
If the latter, look at the "Send To address" which Mail has infrequently corrupted since Panther.
Sometimes if you Reply to an email sent from: <[email protected]>, Mail creates the corrupted address: "[email protected]><[email protected]" <[email protected]> which will not send successfully.

How to to stop iPad mail from deleting email from server?

Then you are both talking rubbish. IMAP is designed for multiple client access to the same inbox, and requires either POP3 collection, or explicit deletion from the server, to remove an email.
IMAP deletion should NEVER delete from the server, if you choose not to do so. I have a netbook and a desktop PC using the same inbox. The Netbook uses IMAP, the desktop PC uses POP3. I can delete a message from the Netbook, and it leaves the email on the server, for the desktop PC to collect via POP3.
From Wikipedia "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them."
The way the iPad is handling it, is wrong... but then again, this is Apple we're talking about. They will no doubt patent this incorrect behaviour, and market it as a "new invention".

TS3899 When I delete email the next time I open mail the deleted emails are back so I delete again. They come back sometimes at least 5-6 times. I have deleted the account and added it back and changed settings several times. What is wrong??

My emails keep coming back after being deleted up to 5-6 times. Why do they keep coming back every time I open my mail? I have deleted my email account and added back and also changed settings. It still does it.

Mail: Cannot delete email

I have IMAC running 10.5.7
I have an email in my inbox. When i try to delete it, the computer crashes (the pinwheel runs forever). Probably a corrupt file. How can I delete this? Is there another file somewhere else on the computer where emails are stored and I can delete from there?

Hi,
Likely it is Mail or disk corruption.

Move this Folder to the Desktop...

Mail wont download emails

The account checks out fine, even in the connection doctor but when I try to get new mail it starts to download then trickles down to 0kbps and sits there and after a while Mail just gives up and acts like it finished downloading when it really hasn't.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

Same thing started happening to me today. It will only download 2-3 emails, I force quit mail, erase those downloaded emails from the server and it will download 2-3 new emails. It keeps saying there's 20 some emails, but it goes to 0kb.
I have 4 accounts on my mail, all 4 seem to have this problem..

Mail wont send emails - Help!

Hello!
Unable to send emails from my Mac (G5 OSX 10.5.8) using Mail.
Dialogue box says "Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
Email addresses are fine (in use for years) and smtp address is good too.
Receiving incoming emails without problem.
Connection Doctor shows all is good for my 3 PoP accounts.
Problems started on returning from overseas trip. Abroad I use a Mac Pro which I upgraded to snow leopard. I also use MobileMe. The Mac Pro had issues sending mails too - using connections which had worked faultlessly for years. Had to restart it to send emails waiting in Outbox.
Any fixes or help for me?
Thanks for any responses
Cheers

How to filter mail to delete email where incoming email address is not a valid address from my address book

how to create a mail filter which checks the incoming email address with valid address from my address book?

"Sender is not in my Contacts" is just an example ...
There are many different options built in to the Rules pane.
For example,
If the built in options do not meet your needs, you can create a script. For another "for example" see this discussion for a way to return unwanted mail to the sender:

How can I get Mail to delete emails?

My mail will not delete. How do I fix this? It just started tonight and I have no idea why or what to do about it. Thanks.

Are you getting an error message when you try to delete?
As a temporary measure, try holding down the Option key when you click on the trash bin.
Also, in the mail menu bar, go to Message, then Move to, then Trash. See if that works.
