Undoing outlook email sync on iphone4 w/OS5.

I mistakenly checked box in itunes to sync outlook email to my iphone4 w/OS5.  Iphone is trying to download 3500 old messages from my storage files.  I don't want it to.  I want to go back to the way I had it.  So far, I have unchecked it in itunes, deleted the account, synced, then added account back.  Those 3500 messages are still there.  The way I had it was coming directly from my server.  What do I do now?

Please disregard.

  • Are there any Outlook Email Sync Tools Available f...

    Hi, I've had the n900 for a while now, bit peeved with it, was sold as having proper tbt gps etc, that's another story I guess and one which is well documented elsewhere . Only getting round to setting up my email sync now and guess what, it doesn't work!! You don't seem to be able to sync emails between Outlook and the n900, not using PC Suite or OVI suite from what I can see. My work domain and mail is hosted on gmail, I leave a copy of the messages on the server so I can get in Outlook and on the device. Sometimes when I read a message, or reply to a message on the n900 it will never come through to Outlook, even though a copy is being left on the server. it would be nice if a sync tool was available for this, anyone know of any?
    Thanks
    Eamonn

    you have a couple of options.
    first, you have to know that ALL messages you send from your n900 do not get put on the server, but are actually in your "sent" folder on you n900.   so you will need to open that folder, and select all, then move to a folder on your server.....should you be using imap.
    next.   i would recommend that you set up your email as imap.  it is similar to using MS exchange except that it is free, it does not sync your contacts, it does not sync you calendar.  but works great.  you will be able to see all your folders on your gmail account and even be able to transfer all your sent email on you n900 to your sent email on your gmail account.
    i would stay away from OVI suite as it will just make a mess.   with the n900, it is not necessary to have anything sync with outlook, except your contacts, notes, calendar.  so use PC Suite instead as it works solid!
    now, since you are new, there is a way to make your n900 email work much faster and smoother as well.  
    first, install these repositories to your n900 for future use.  just click on the links within the browser of your n900 and they will auto-install for you.
    EXTRAS-TESTING
    EXTRAS-DEVEL
    now open your appmanager and install rootsh.  (this will help you for later as you read in this forum...at least for things that CPitchford and Ceroberts75 post)
    now, here are directions to make your email client work much faster.  since i cannot attach a .tar file to this, if you send me a pm, i will send you a link to download a safe copy of it for you to use.
    save the .tar file to root folder (your root folder is going to be n900 or whatever you named your unit)
    open xterm
    sudo gainroot
    cd MyDocs
    to install, use this code:
    tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz  -C /
    NOTE:  There are 2 spaces after the ".gz" and 1 space after the "-C"
    it will just do an immediate prompt again, and seem like nothing happened, but it did. 
    to uninstall and go to original settings, use this code:
    apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest
    now for the Nokia Messaging:  i started a thread for this Nokia Messaging.   Nokia messaging will auto-sync all your email like stated above, but there are different limitations to alerts and such on the n900 and if you only have a few email addresses, imo, it is better to just set them up in the modest email client (standard email installed).  it will also save a few taps everytime you have to see the email.
    FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
    with symbian, you just need to go to email.nokia.com and install it.
    but...on maemo, it is built in.
    open email client
    menu
    new account
    next (wait for it to search)
    choose your region
    service provider:  Nokia Messaging
    next
    e-mail address: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
    password: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
    next
    it will search...and probably have an error with server and then ask to have you put in all the advanced information.  use this information below:
    email address:
    your nokia messaging login email
    incoming:
    mail.nokia.com
    143
    outgoing:
    mail.nokia.com
    587
    with no securities used.
    next
    this should do it and then you will see it start to sync.
    then you can go into the settings of nokia messaging and set up the sync settings and times.
    now when you open your email client, you will see "Nokia Messaging"
    when you tap on that, you will now see all the email addresses you have set up for nokia messaging.
    you can add up to 10 email addresses on the nokia messaging....and i am currently using 6 on my integrated email client...so you can have at least 16 email address on your n900 now, probably up to 20.

  • How can email sync between iphone4 and mac?

    I want to read email once on either my iPhone4 or Mac, then delete the email from BOTH DEVICES. I don't want to read the same email on my iPhone4 and my Mac.
    Do I need to manage this with my internet service provider (in thsi case Cox), or are there setting in iPhone 4 to take care of this duplicate email phenomenon?
    Thanks.

    it will only remove deleted mails when you sync it with the computer
    and only one accounts that are set as sync accounts so not when you set them up on the iphone itself
    in which case it's a standalone account not a sync one
    synced accounts are created in the info tab on the iphone when connected to itunes
    otherwise you have to make sure that your email account is pop3 rather then imap and that it's set to delete
    mails from server when downloaded that should work
    but it needs to be set on both the iphone and the computer

  • I have two email accounts, an aol account and a corp. outlook account.  When I enable the WI-FI connection I do not receive aol emails, yet I receive the outlook emails on my iphone4.  Any ideas how to correct this?

    When I enable WI-FI on my iphone4 and connect  to my network I do not receive emails from my AOL account, however, I receive emails from my corporate outlook exchange account.  When WI-FI is disabled I receive emails from each account.  Any ideas how to correct this?  Thanks in advance.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.

  • Easy steps to troubleshoot the Outlook Email sync issue

    One question about Outlook that has been asked the most is, why some emails don’t sync in Outlook? Or there should be an email received but why I can’t see it in Outlook?
    On this topic, we’ve seen a lot of articles on Microsoft and some other 3rd-party web sites, usually the explanation and the troubleshooting steps are so long that we don’t know where to start. I’m writing this article to make something easier. Not an encyclopaedia
    about Outlook sync issues, just a few things we can take a look at before something really “difficult”.
    For Exchange Accounts to troubleshoot, of course, this Microsoft Knowledge Base is helpful:
    How to troubleshoot synchronization problems when you synchronize your Exchange Server mailbox with your .ost file in Outlook
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842284/en-us
    Here below I will introduce some common causes of the Emails not sync issues in Outlook, steps are based on Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, which are widely used nowadays.
    View
    Here comes a user, who says “why don’t some emails appear in my Outlook?” Generally we think it may be caused since the sync process is not complete, but consider this scenario: The “missing” email has been received but the user just can’t see it, is
    this possible? Yes, this is possibly caused by the custom view.
    First please logon the webmail, or OWA for Exchange Accounts, to see whether the “missing” emails exist there, if yes, then let’s do the following:
    Go to the folder where the emails should be displayed, switch to VIEW tab ->
    Current View Group -> Click Reset View button. When it prompts to confirm, click
    Yes.
    The emails magically appear! Why? That’s because you have set a custom view in this folder, such as a Filter in View Settings to let Outlook only show these emails that meet the criteria you have set. Once you click
    Reset View, the View will reset and the Filter is wiped out. The emails can be displayed again.
    One common symptom of this cause, is that you see a number beside the folder which indicates you have something unread, while you can’t find the unread items. Probably you have a custom view in Outlook that only allows the read items to show.
    Another way to reset the View is to run Outlook with the command switch “/cleanviews”, which will restore default view and all custom views you created will be lost:
    Press Win key + R, in the Run box, type “outlook.exe /cleanviews”, click
    OK or press Enter.
    Sync Filter
    “Well, I can see the recent emails of the account in Outlook, but emails older than 3 months don’t show in Outlook, I can see these emails on Web, why?” It’s time to consider the Sync Filter.
    Outlook has a feature that allows you to limit the amount of data that is synchronized locally to your .OST. The purpose of this feature is to make Outlook usable on devices that have limited or small amounts of local storage. This feature is called Sync
    Filter. You can access the sync filter within your E-mail Server Settings under Account Settings.
    We can choose the periods of emails we want to keep offline. Switch to
    All to keep all emails to local so that they are not “missing”.
    (Not all kinds of accounts can use this feature in all versions of Outlook, such as Exchanges Accounts don’t have Sync Filter in Outlook 2010)
    Send/Receive Groups
    I can sync all folders but emails in one folder don’t sync properly, how does this happen? Please check the Send/Receive Settings.
    Go to SEND / RECEIVE tab -> Send & Receive Group ->
    Define Send/Receive Groups. We can configure the setting for send/receive here:
    Highlight All Accounts, click Edit button, in the new dialog window, check if you have select the correct folder options as you need, you may have not selected the folder which emails are not received. Check the box and
    click OK to save, it should be working fine then.
    Summary
    When we talk about “sync”, we are talking about account types like Exchange, IMAP and Exchange ActiveSync. POP accounts don’t sync, they do a “download” instead, so it’s not talked about (However, some steps are applicable, like
    VIEW).
    As mentioned above, this article just discusses the easy things we should look at before the deeper analysis, if you have tried all these suggestions but still have the sync problem, feel free to post the question in our forum:

    Is there a work around way??????????
    Not really. BIS service is not designed to reconcile to the Outlook on your PC as your former BES service did, or there would be no reason for BES, right?
    The (dirty) workaround is to created rules in your Outlook and filters on your BIS account login whereby you BCC yourself all the sent-from-handheld mail which arrives in Outlook and by rule is moved to your sent folder.
    Then, on the BIS account login site, you create a filter to not foward any message to your device which are addressed as beig from your own email address.
    Likewise, any email sent from Outlook must be copied to yourself to receive on the BlackBerry device, however it won't end up in your sent items.

    I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone.  When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

    Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

  • Whether I need to have a microsoft outlook email address to sync.

    Palm Z22, windows vista 32, using outlook calendar.
    Do I have to have a microsoft outlook email to just use the calendar application?  I do not like all of that extra email stuff on my computer.  I just want to remove it.
    Thankyou.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Which version of Outlook are you using? I have 2000, and part of the initial setup asks if I want to use Internet, Corporate, or No Email. Anything after 2000 should have similar options. So no, you don't need to have a Microsoft outlook email to use the calendar.

  • How do I make my personal "reminders" seperate from my work Outlook email account?

    I will ask Siri to "Remind me to clean the guest bathroom tub when I get home". I get the reminder, but then  when I get into the office the next morning, they pop up on my Outlook as outdated reminders. Very embarrasing to have one of my coworkers see a peronsal reminder that I set for myself from home.. I am using an iPhone4S and an  iPad 3 - both connected to the same Apple ID. I still want my Outlook Calendar to show me reminders from my work meetings and other invitations from colleagues, though..
    Anybody know how I would go about setting my personal reminders to not go to my Outlook calendar? I'm a bit confiused as to how these are all connected and intertwined. So if someone could explain (in very lamen's terms) how this is connected as well, that would probably help my thinking pathh in terms of iCloud, syncing with other devices and emails..etc
    Thanks a bunch, I know one of you guys will nail this one!
    Additional info: I have my personal email account loaded (gmail), another personal email (local to my website) loaded, and then my outlook email loaded as well.

  • Major problems with iPhone 4 & iPad 2 both 5.1.1. - Outlook Calendar sync

    Folks, really need some help here, being forced to revert to Blackberry Bold 9000 because of issues with Outlook Calendar sync since 5.1.1 upgrade on both my iPhone & iPad.  Our company Enterprise Active Sync server is 2003 (please don't mention upgrade - already a seperate conversation byt all costs).
    email sync's fine on both devices, plus i can continue to use both iCloud accounts, and BT yahoo mail etc !
    national holidays set up in Outlook calendar come across, as does some calendar items, but then falls into a resync mode with nothing staying in the device, i can also see and read calendar invites, but once accepted, they disappear !
    Searching the internet suggests I'm not alone with this issue - any ideas welcome, seems not to be a problem on os 4 !!!  but A) I don't know how to regress and B) why should I ?
    Many thanks in advance, please don't make me go back to a BB !!!
    Finally, I've been using the devices without issue for nearly 2 years - so again it's linked to 5.1.1. upgrade !

    Hi Tim
    Firstly, apologies for the slow response to your very quick reply !
    I've checked back, we're using Exchange 2007.
    We've actually got a ticket open with Apple at present, so anticipate that a patch may be available.
    It is still curious though that out of a 200 user community trialling our internal iPhone & iPad pilot, we only have 2 issues (mine and a colleagues), however anticipate that there will be more issues as nearly entire community is on 5.1.1.
    On a second point, any ideas how one can rollback to 4.3.3 on an iPhone or iPad ?  I can't find anything that implies a self rollback without jail breaking the device ?
    Thanks again for the help.
    Marc
