TS3899 How do you change ios 8 mail default from imap to pop?

I scan e-mails on the road with my iPhone but only respond to emergent ones.  I work all non-emergent e-mail at home on my PC.   With iOS 8 software, my iPhone e-mail defaults to IMAP, which causes any e-mails read/opened on my phone to be automatically deleted from my PC's incoming mail.  That may be fine for some, but not for me... and I'm guessing a lot of other folks who have the same parallel mail arrangement.
My work-around is to archive all e-mails read, which I want to keep, and then resend them to myself when I get home.  What a bother.  With a pop account, all devices receive, send, and delete independently of each other.  That allows me to scan and delete unnecessary e-mails on the iPhone and work those I want to keep when I return home.  Yes, I have to delete unwanted e-mails again, but that is not a big deal.
The iOS software update needs to allow a pop, pop3, or IMAP incoming server option.  If it does, I'm unable to figure it out.

The response that suggests putting in a dummy e-mail works perfectly with the new iOS 8 software.  Thanks for the help.  I now have my phone configured back to a pop vice IMAP. 
Incidentally, this all started when I noticed that a lot of my iPhone memory was being used to store some 500+ phantom e-mails that had already been deleted.  An iPhone forum string indicated that I needed to delete my email account and then reinstall it.  I did so and the phantom emails disappeared... but then my account locked into the IMAP format.
Thank you again for the help.

    How do you change the Print Products Store from USA to UK like you can do in IPhoto?

    Please keep in mind that Aperture is not an enhanced iPhoto, it is a different application with a different philosophy and a different intended audience. If you approach it with that in mind you will have a lot less frustration as you learn Aperture.
    Aperture adds a layer of complexity that is not needed by many.  iPhoto is a very powerful application and fits the needs of many amateur photographers.
    As for your original issue, as I said I am surprised that iPhoto allows you do switch countries like that and am not surprised that Aperture doesn't. If this is something you really need to do working in Aperture but using iPhoto to order the prints is a good work around and will not be all that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
    As for your new question, the books in iPhoto and Aperture are different enough that the code that created the book in iPhoto wouldn't work in Aperture. What happens when you import an iPhoto library into Aperture is that the images in the book are combined into an album in Aperture with the same name as the iPhoto book. You will need to re-create the book in Aperture uaing the images in this album.
    Hope this helps, post back if you have anymore questions.
    regards

  • How do you change the nominal range settings from 0-10v to 0-1v

    Currently using a PCI-6052E with Mac OS, how do you change the resolution accuracy? In other words from say
    0-10V full scale for an AI to 0-1V full scale?

    Here is the information that you should follow when using DAQ with a Macintosh. I'm not sure whether you are using LabVIEW or some other programming language, so the two main references that you should refer to are the NI-DAQ Software Reference Manual for Macintosh and the LabVIEW Data Acquisition VI Reference Manual. Both of these resources are excellent sources of information and will explain to you anything you need to know about programming DAQ on a Macintosh.
    The NI-DAQ Software Reference Manual for Macintosh can tell you how to configure things such as Analog Input Mode (differential, RSE, NRSE), Range, Polarity, Analog Output Range, P
    olarity, Voltage Source, etc. Even reading just the first chapters of either of the above mentioned reference manuals should have you on your way.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I convert yahoo email on iPhone FROM IMAP TO POP?

    I have Yahoo Mail Plus. When I first got my iPhone 4, I set it up so my yahoo email was accessible on my phone without my doing anything. I only check the email from two devices: my desktop via the internet, and my iPhone. I'm pretty sure the email set up on my phone is an IMAP protocol, because when I delete an email from one device, it deletes it on the other device.
    I actually want to change it so that when I delete an email on my phone, it DOESN'T delete it from the Yahoo server. I think that's the POP protocol. I realize setting it up as POP will require that I delete the emails multiple places. I can live with that. What I don't currently like is that all of the emails I've saved in my Yahoo account, in multiple folders, are now also sitting on my iPhone. It's a risk exposure I'd like to eliminate. My iPhone password is a start, but I'd feel better if I could purge old emails off my iPhone. Right now, if I delete the various emails and folders from my phone, it's my understanding they'll also be gone from my Yahoo internet account. I don't want that.
    I've read various posts saying I should delete my Yahoo email account on my iPhone and then set it up as a new account and select POP.
    1. Is that the only way to change from IMAP to POP?
    2. If I delete Yahoo mail on my iPhone, what will happen to my stored emails on Yahoo? Will they be saved or deleted?
    3. Is there another solution?
    4. Any other advice?
    Thanks for any help. And if I've skewered any terms here, forgive me. Sometimes dealing with this stuff is like learning another language.  Cindy

    First off, you are correct in the assumption that emails are sitting on your iPhone. You should, however have the option to set how much to sync, as well as what folders to sync to determine what is visible. The only setting to change that is to set a passcode on the phone.
    Also, deleting the emails and folders from the phone will result in them being deleted from the server, this is how IMAP works.
    To answer your other quesetions:
    1. That would have to be answered by Yahoo, since the server would have to be different. An IMAP server acts differently than POP.
    2. Deleting will delete everything everywhere.
    3. The only other solution I can think of is as I stated earlier is if there is a setting for days to sync in IMAP. I'm not sure of this since I do not use an IMAP account. I know that Exchange behaves in this way.
    4. If this does not work as you want after talking ot Yahoo, then maybe selecting a POP email provider and forwarding the Yahoo mail to that and picking up the POP mail on the iPhone.
    I think that Yahoo will give you information that you will need to start your search for answers.

  • TS3899 How do you change the number of emails displayed on ios7?

    Since I have upgraded my phone to ios7 my phone doesn't display as many emails as it used to. How do I change the settings so that my phone retains more messages?

    You cannot change that, it is not user programmable. That is handled by your carrier, and it is not based on the number of rings, it is based on time. Call your carrier and see if they can extend the time for you. They may not be able to do this.

  • TS4002 How can I change iCloud junk mail settings from my iPhone?

    I have junk mail filtering turned on in iCloud. If it incorrectly tags mail as junk it is easy to correct using the web interface but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it from iPhone. How can you mark mail as junk / not junk from iOS? Matters are made worse in that it is not even possible to access the web app from an iOS device?

    Yes! Fine if you have a computer and of course that's exactly what I do. But it is a bit frustrating! iOS and iCloud are supposed to be seamlessly integrated and this seems like a big omission. And with the push towards iOS devices being completely independent devices, unhooked from a computer, this seems like something that should be improved upon. Seems minor, but if you use your iOS device as your primary email client it is a real hassle. I'd be surprised if nobody else is frustrated by this. Anyone? How do you go about nagging Apple to sort it out?

  • How do I change the downloaded file default from protected mode

    Word and pdf show up in protective mode - how do I change the default to allow editing?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • How do I change the "Open In" default from "Photoshop CS6" to "Photoshop CC 2014" in Bridge CC? I'm using a Mac

    I have Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge CC when I double click or Open in Bridge CC Photoshop CS6 opens instead of Photoshop CC 2014. How can I change this dynamic link to open Photoshop CC 2014? Help!

    Thanks Gener7, but that did not work.
    I also tried opening Bridge’s Preferences> File Type Associations and clicking the Reset to Default Applications button.  Then see Photoshop CC 2014 listed next to all basic image formats.  but did not work
    Also tried this: but did not work
    --Open Bridge. 
    --Use the Keywords panel menu command Export to save your keywords (not in the Bridge or Photoshop folders or their support folders).
    --Quit Bridge.
    --Hold down the Command-Option-Shift keys.
    --Launch Bridge.
    --When the small dialog box appears, release the three modifier keys and elect to replace the Preferences and purge the cache.

  • How do you change a multi page document from the default black to another colour?

    I have a multi page calendar chart that is black text and lines in InDesign. I need to print it as green on a copier not press. Is there a way to change the black to green without having to go through each text box and line separately?

    I hope you are using paragraph styles. Change the color there and it will change everywhere you have used this style. If you have set up your styles correctly you need to change one styles and alll others will chage too.
    Never use a character in InDesign without a Paragraph Style.
