Unwanted deleted emails

anyone else having email from home computer's mailbox deleted since using an iPhone 5? can send/receive emails from different accounts with no issues. But, it appears that, when I power on the phone in the morning, some kind of batch delete occurs. if I delete or deactivate the email accounts on the iPhone, emails in home computer's mailbox are unaffected. This suggests that it is either a Verizon issue or iPhone issue. Of course, both Verizon and Apple say it is a server issue and to contact my ISP. ISP says there are no server issues and they have not deleted any messages. Have changed computer's email account's password, but emails still being deleted. Anybody have any ideas?

MIchelle- thanks for getting back to me. It is still happening, but not very often. The emails, however, are being purged from my home computer, not my iPhone.  They were all very old emails. The last episode deleted emails from 11/712 to 12/3/12. I access this email account through a web address not from my ISP home page. As far I can tell no emails are being deleted from my Gmail account which I now use as a forced backup to this account. Never had any email issues prior to using the iPhone. Assume I have some error in setting up the email account on my phone. However, as far as I can tell, my settings are the same as my wife's iPhone. She has had to email issues although we use different email delivery systems. Obviously, I would like to get this email deletion remedied if you have aany suggestions. Thanks, Fred

  • How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

    How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
    This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
    Over to the Forum and Allan.

    Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
    This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
    Buy a Mac!
    Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
    Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
    backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
    Hope this helps......

  • Nokia 9300 - unwanted deletion of emails

    I set '' Delete Emails locally'' to 'Emails older than 1 month'' but it continually reverts to ''delete all emails''.
    This makes it a nightmare to get emails read before they get deleted- and impossible to retain them for any period.
    Any suggestions ...???
    PS can't get response from Nokia Ireland Helpline on 1890 946 245 or from Online Support - why not??

    I also have the same problem with my 9300 where the e-mails are deleted, even if I set the period to "delete only if older than one month"  Did you get a solution?

  • New iPad 2 always downloading previously deleted emails

    I am using my Verizon.net POP3 email server.  On iPad mail setup Incoming I have it set to delete from serer when removed from Inbox.  My interpretation of that set-up is that any email I download, view and then delete (thereby removing it from my Inbox) should be deleted from the server by the iPad's OS.  Those I don't delete should remain on the server.  I also have an iPhone 3G running OS 4.x and it does not have this problem.  Emails deleted on it are also deleted from the server so that they don't appear again when accessing new mail.  The Mail settings otherwise appear identical to that of the new iPad.
    This is NOT a POP3 vs. IMAP problem.  It is an OS5.x problem as OS5.x is not handling the deleted emails by deleting them from the server.  I want emails deleted from the iPad2 to delete from the server whereas those I leave in the iPad 2 mailbox I want to stay on the server so that I can manage those from my Win7 PC using Outlook 2010.

    THANK YOU!  Great solution!

    It looks like you still have your emails stored on the mail server from your Internet Service Provider. When you update to ios5, it wipes out the emails on your devices. Then when you go into the mail tools, it pulls the emails off the server again. Very annoying, I agree.
    Best thing is to delete unwanted emails off the server, likely using a web based email tool from your ISP (eg Webmail from Time Warner, etc).
    Hope this helps.

  • Deleting email addresses recommended by mail on an iPad or iphone

    How do I delete email addresses showing as recent in mail when I start to type in to the To..this is on my iPad and iPhone.  Many are a long time ago...they seem to collect forever.  Is there a way to delete these other than one by one when they show up as I type in the To on an email?  Better yet, is there a way to turn this off so that the suggestions are only based on what I have in my contacts?

    You can get rid of them, but you do have to do it one at a time as the come up. You can keep scrolling down through the suggestions and delete a bunch in one sitting, as long as they come up in the suggestions.
    You can only do this with email addresses that have the "I" to the right. That means that they are not in your contacts. Contacts have to be deleted in the contacts app.
    To get rid of the unwanted Recents, tap the blue "I" to the right of the email adress. In the next window you can tap on Remove From Recents to delete them.

  • DELETING EMAILS FROM 3G IPHONE USING SECURING SECURE DELETE FEATURE ON 0S 6

    DELETING EMAILS FROM 3G IPHONE USING PERMANENT EMAIL SECURE
    DELETE ON LEOPARD 6.6.6? THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OF GETTING RID OF UNWANTED TRASH. APPLE PLEASE TAKE NOTE.

    Pop accounts are really designed to access mail on ONE device, and only ONE device at a time. Having said that, do the following:
    * Tap Settings on the iPhone Home screen.
    * Now tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    * Tap the desired account under Accounts.
    * Select Advanced.
    * Now tap Delete from server under Incoming Settings.
    * Select:
    o Seven days to have iPhone Mail remove mail from the server a week after it has been downloaded.
    o When removed from Inbox to make iPhone Mail delete mail from the server only when you delete it from your iPhone Mail inbox.
    o Never to deep copies of all messages on your POP server.
    * Press the Home button, when finished.
    Be aware, that an important email's only copy should probably not be on your phone. But, that's the nature of a pop account.

  • IPhone deleting emails from folders

    I've been having a problem with an iPhone 3GS deleting emails from folders.  This has only been happening for about 3 or 4 weeks but is a very critical issue.  I've lost several critical emails that are not recoverable!  It makes using the iPhone to view saved messages useless!  Maybe time for a droid?
    The issue may have started when I upgraded to version 5.0.1  When you select a folder your see the email you want and then it just disappears.  It is deleted and not able to find it anywhere.  I'm using AT&T email which is Yahoo.  I log on to Yahoo email and the email has also been completely deleted.  I have been using the 3GS with Yahoo mail for over two years without any issue.  Something in IOS has changed that has added the new unwanted feature.  Apple needs to get it resolved!  Does anyone know when a fix is coming? 

    I've yet to hear of that issue specifically previous to this post. You might test it with another account just so you're not puting your real account in danger. It definiatly won't hurt to update. I would also turn on the "ask before deleting" option in the settings to see if that helps any.
    Keep us updated.

  • Deleting emails from my yahoo account

    I have an issue when deleting emails from my yahoo account on my Mac.  For some reason, I'll highlight the email(s) I want to delete, and hit the delete key.  The email won't delete until it's highlighted again and I hit delete again.  It has been doing this for a while and only does it when I access Yahoo on my Mac, and only my yahoo account.  Does anybody have an idea of what might be the issue?

    Are you using Mac Mail or going straight to Yahoo Mail using your browser...?
    I never use Mac Mail so can't offer much help with it. If you are, try going straight to Sign in to Yahoo from your browser and see if you can correctly delete any unwanted messages that way.

  • Delete email receipients from autocompletion

    Can you tell me how to delete email recipients from autocompletion. This is very problematic as I have unwanted emails in here.

    How bad do you want it? I found the only way to do this is to go to settings (General, Reset) and then to Reset all Content and Settings. Then when you restore, you must do as a new iPhone, not from a backup (because of course those same address are in the backup). You lose everything. As long as you have your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, etc... inputted in your computer, when you re-sync you just put it back. Although you will have to re-do things such as customized home screens, and the arrangement of bookmarks. And any SMS's will be deleted too.

  • How can I make my email POP account delete emails?

    I use a POP email account. Every time I refresh my email, it brings back all the emails I just deleted.  very frustrating
    I set the Advanced settings to Remove...After one day, UseSSL...OFF, Delete from server...When removed from Inbox, Server Port...110,S/MIME...OFF.
    Why there is no Remove...Immediately is beyond me.
    When I delete emails I want to delete them totally.  Email is one of the main reasons I got an iPad.  Constantly downloading the same emails you deleted extremely limits the usefulness of the iPad2.
    Is there a fix?
    Why doesn't the iPad provide the same functionality for POP accounts as it does for IMAP accounts?

    When I am in mail, I now click back through the navigation boxes on the top left of the screen.  If I am in an email there is a block at the top left of the screen titled "All Inboxes" (43).  The number changes.  click "All Inboxes"  The email list for "All Inboxes" slides in from the left.  Click the navigation arrow titled "Mailboxes" on the top left of the email list.  The "Mailboxes" list slides in to replace "All Inboxes".  The list shows "Inboxes" and "Accounts".  I click the account where I want to delete messages.  I click the "Trash" basket.  The "Trash" bin slides onto the screen.  I click the "Edit" block in the upper right corner.  I select the red "Delete All" in the lower left.  This is a little bit of work.  It currently prevents the emails from constantly coming back to my inboxes.
    My ISP mail provider also appeared to update their system.  I checked their website for directions on using an iPad.  Their suggestions helped.

  • How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    How do I get my deleted emails to go to the deleted items in Outlook and not the archived folder?

    Who is the email account provider?
    With an Apple iCloud account, there is a preference setting with the account settings on the iPhone to archive messages - save deleted messages in your Archive folder.
    I believe the same is available with a Gmail account.

  • How do i delete emails from my iphone5?

    I just purchased the Iphone 5 and cannot delete emails other than from my Yahoo account.  I use hostmonster for my business email and I continue to recieve an error message when I try to delete, UNABLE TO MOVE MESSAGE THE MESSAGE CANNOT BE MOVED TO THE MAILBOX TRASH.  I saw a post that said to include under advanced settings INBOX in the IMAP Path Prefix but this did not solve the problem.

    Hello amelieferro,
    This can be resolved by ensuring the account is correctly linked to the trash mailbox in your settings.

  • Permanently deleting emails from Gmail, while saving them in AppleMail

    I'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete emails from my Gmail All Mail folder without deleting them from the folders I moved them to in the On My Computer area of my AppleMail on my MacBook Pro.  I like the IMAP syncing function in Gmail that keeps my iphone, ipad and MacBook all synced from an email perspective.  However, I don't like my emails living on Gmail's servers any longer than they have to.  I don't want them living on Apple's servers either, so I'm not using iCloud. 
    I only want emails to remain on the Gmail servers for as long as I keep them in either my inbox or sent items.  I use those two folders as my holding zones for items that still require action.  Once I have done what needs to be done in regard to an email, I either delete it or I move it to a folder under On My Computer on my MacBook Pro for possible later reference.  If I move an email to a folder, I never want it to be deleted.  I use a Time Capsule to back up my Macbook through Time Machine, so I'm not worried about losing my historical email files from a hard drive problem.  I also back up the MacBook quarterly to a separate hard drive which I store offsite in case a catastrophe at my home destroys both my MacBook and the Time Capsule.
    I have about 8 years of email history that I imported from my old PC into the MacBook in AppleMail and I now want to clean out the All Mail account in my Gmail to delete all those emails, but I need them to remain in my folder system on the MacBook.
    Can anyone tell me how to delete all mail from the Gmail account without having the IMAP function delete them from my MacBook Pro?
    Here's an added complication.  When I move an email from my inbox to a folder on my MacBook, I do want that email to disappear from my ipad and my iphone. In essence, I like to manage all my emails from my MacBook Pro if they need to be saved into folders, but I also like to be able to delete emails that don't need to be saved from any of my devices and have that deletion sync to all my devices.
    I haven't been able to figure this one out.  Any help is appreciated.

    Make local folders (On My Mac) and move the mails there, they will delete from the GMail servers but remain accessible in Mail, only in Mail.
    All Mail (in Gmail) is not a folder, it is a label for all your mail, anything in there is also in one of GMails folders, when you delete from All Mail you are deleting the original mail.

  • Anyone know how to delete emails from trash folder?

    I have hada Droid phone for about 6 months.  When I delete emails from my inbox it goes to a "trash" file (similiar to trash file in Outlook).  It is getting full.  Any idea how to delete from trash folder.  My wife also bought the same phone but she does not have a trash file.  No one at our verizon store can answer my question as to how to delete from trash folder and don't seem to know how I have a trash folder on my email account.
