Weird cycle of email refreshes when swipe deleting many emails during a sync

(Posting here instead of in ActiveSync forum, as this seems to have more Pre traffic)
In the Pre email application, I open up an email folder (not my Inbox, but a folder I've marked as a favorite) that gets about a hundred new messages per day. As soon as I do the new messages start flooding in as they are downloaded. During this I start swiping them away to delete the ones I know I don't care about from the subject.
After doing this a number of times in a single session (usually around 5), the email application gets into this weird cycle as I watch it where:
1) Emails that were already downloaded start disappearing from the bottom of the list
2) Then all of the emails in that folder disappear from the scree
3) All of the emails start re-appearing like they're being re-downloaded, with just the subject line, INCLUDING messages that I already swipe-deleted
4) Repeat over and over, sometimes up to 15 minutes depending on how many emails are in the folder and how many I deleted before it started going crazy
This whole time the email sync spinner is going and the number within it is continuously changing.
I may have seen this on GMail sync, but most notably it happens to me with my Exchange 2010 mail account. Note: I have my mail account set to download all mails within the last two weeks, if that matters.
Needless to say, this makes my Pre pretty much useless to me to go through any serious amount of discussion list email. Ideas/thoughts? Is there an official way to report a bug on this if it's not known?

That's what I've started doing, but that's not a very good solution for a couple reasons:
1) That solution is basically akin to just not using the Pre for managing email
2) This weird cycle thing happens to me even if I don't start deleting items on large folders too
This definitely seems like a bug that should be fixed by Palm.

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

When I delete many movies, why is my hard drive not showing more space?

I have deleted many many movies, but my hard drive does not register any more space available. I delete my movies from Vuze, using the "delete from computer" button. Shouldn't that trash all copies? I am thinking there must be another copy somewhere for my available space to not change.
I would appreciate any help on this.
thank you all,
Sandy

Hi. Have you emptied the trash? Bottom right side of the dock.

Explorer doesn't refresh when moving/deleting

Hello,
I recently started using W8 and at the moment when i change the name of a file or add a new file to a folder i have to manually refresh the folder in order to view the change. I have read about similar problems in W7 but the solutions dont seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I found a fix for my situation that had identical symptoms as yours. After tons of Googling and trying numerous suggestions and nearly resorting to a reinstall, I found my problem was SIMPLE! I had noticed that there were some times when I could change a
file/folder and it responded instantly, so I started to observe what was unique. I noticed if I browsed to folders in Windows File Explorer under "This PC", any changes/refreshes worked fine, but if I browsed to the same folders by going into
any folders pinned under "Favorites", they needed to be manually refreshed or revisited. It turns out the problem was the links in Favorites were broken. I copied my user profile in the past during the install of Windows 8 and so some of these links were referencing
the old "Start In" path on the shortcuts. SOLUTION FOR ME: Delete any custom links in Favorites, then browse to the folder in This PC and drag it back to Favorites to create a new, correct link. Works like magic now.

Help! iMovie deleted many clips during a "split event" procedure.

Please help. I realized that my 2004 "event" had far too many clips in it and decided to split the event. (Trying to remedy a poor organizational system). The split appeared to work fine, creating a new event 2004 1 that I assumed had my clips in it. They weren't there, or in the original event. Worse, other clips from that event were also missing. I have restarted the computer, still not there. And yes, I did check to be sure I was viewing ALL clips, not just favorites etc.
I do have a backup, but after much reorganizing it is just about impossible for me to figure out which clips disappeared. I had just this week given up on using iPhoto for my old 1000+ 30 second clips from my digital camera and had imported them directly into iMovie. I had also just imported all my old video footage from my nonHD camera. And of course, I hadn't re-backed up yet, but I had deleted them from iPhoto. (Was going to backup tonight to my new drive I bought for that purpose...)
Any suggestions?

Thank you. I tried that and the actual folders match what shows in iMovie. I'm backing up now, but when I'm done I'll just reimport from my older backup and tapes and try to figure out what's missing.
What I'm really concerned about, is does iMovie just arbitrarily make things disappear often? How do I know there aren't other things from other events that are missing? Obviously right now I can do a file count, but once I actually start working with the clips and deleting the bad ones etc. how can I know if things are suddenly missing? (I have over a thousand clips so it isn't obvious.) These are baby clips which are precious to me...
In case it matters, just had my mac in for full diagnostic and it's fine. The hard drive is new and tests fine. Permissions on my C drive HAVE been being corrupted during file imports from my old Sony digital8, possibly that caused the original problem? I will be sure to check permissions before opening iMovie from now on.

HT3228 When I delete an email on my iPad it also deletes it on my MacBook Pro but it is not in my trash anywhere so it is gone! When I delete an email in my iPhone it is still on my iPad and MacBook Pro-how to do this when I delete an email on my iP

Try this to change the deleted folder on the ipad to the same as on your mac

The steps are pretty much the same as the gmail account used in the instructions, you may also be able to refresh the email folder list on the mac

HT4207 I have same problem. But my archive is off and was never on. I downloaded a bunch off apps and it changed. I can swipe delete, but there is no longer a delete button to hit after I read the email? Confused

My gmail on my iPhone 4S was working perfect.
I bought a iTunes card and registered it and bought some new apps
And tried many free ones. Now when I got to in box and read
An email the delete button option is now missing. I can swipe delete, and my archive is and has always been off.
At the bottom if the page on gmail on the phone the whole row of options delete, move etc
Is missing. Can anyone help?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I was having some weird issues like this until I deleted my email account and reset it up as IMAP instead of POP. It's worked beautifully since then.

Thanks for your help so far.

How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

When I delete an email in Mail, shouldn't it also delete it from the PoP and/or Web accounts also?

More specifically, when I delete an email message in "Mail", it still appears in the POP (in this case Verizon) and/or the Web (MSN) accounts that I have. I then must redundantly delete the message again by going into each of those accounts. And this is vice versa. If I delete it from my Verison email, the message still appears in Apples "Mail" app. Why can't I get the deletes to sync?

Nope, Verizon only offer POP as far as I know so you need them to make the change, and good luck with that
Also please note that MS are having a few issues with their Imap service (it's brand new) you may find that deletes do not always replicate, but it is a known issue and MS are on it.
