When deleting message in AOL, message is also deleted in Mail on computer

I access my mail through AOL. When I delete a message from within the AOL account, it is also deleting it from Mail. Is there a way to delete from within AOL and have the message stay in my Mail account on my computer?
Thanks for the help.

Your account is set up as IMAP I am sure. With an IMAP account, change you make in one email client will be reflected in another email client. That is how an IMAP account works, and for many users that is one strong advantage. If you set up your account as POP, changes you would make in email client - directly in AOL - would not show up in another - Leopard mail.
hope this helps

  • IPhone keeps locking up when deleting e-mail messages

    I have been doing some mass deletions of e-mails on my iPhone this morning and the thing keeps locking up.
    I am pushing that "edit" button than the "-" symbol then "delete" next to each message in the list view. I'm doing it pretty quickly deleting one message at a time as fast as I can. (BECAUSE I CAN'T MASS DELETE MESSAGES!!!!)
    Anyways, it keeps freezing on me. I have to hold the home button for like 5 seconds to make the iPhone come back to life each time. It's really annoying.
    Is there a faster way to mass delete e-mails? Or, I am too fast for the phone and am I locking it up?

    I was having some wacky behavior with email, and it got better after I rebooted. I held the power/main buttons for 8 seconds until the Apple logo appeared on the screen,

  • Delete mail from server when deleting from mail

    I like Mail.
    But - the ONE feature I miss from Entourage is this:
    Delete mail from server when deleting the trash
    Mail can be set to delete messages from the server -- after downloading to the local computer. OK - BUT - I read my email from 3 computers. I want to keep the messages on the server - unless I delete them after trashing - and to read them on 3 computers.
    The BEST way is to delete when I trash them -- NOT when I read them.
    Using the mail program to see all messages on the server and to then delete them one-by-one is a major PITA.
    How can I tell Apple to add this feature?

    Use the "When moved from Inbox" option that should do it. If you trash it then it goes, if you move it goes... HTH

  • Trash can doesn't work when deleting e-mails

    Until yesterday, I could delete e-mails by touching the trach can icon while looking at the message. Doesn't work today, so I have to go to Edit, then delete. Solution anyone?
    Thanks

    Try a simple reset of the phone. Many times that will fix a problem. Hold down the Home and power button together until you see the Apple logo, then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen. This will reboot the iPhone and normally clears any minor issues.

  • How to i set up my outbox (for Send Later messages) so that I control when the messages are sent?

    When i compose a message but do not want to send it right away, i click on Send Later and it goes into my Outbox. It remained there until i signed on to my email the next time. Then a message would come up asking me whether i wanted to send unsent messages. This gave me control over when the messages went out.
    Something has changed (computer gremlins at it again) and now the messages go automatically the next time i log on.
    I want my outbox set up as it was before, where i am asked whether i want the messages to go, so that i have that control.
    I have tried to figure out how to do this using this help resource, and going via Tools, Account Settings etc., but haven't been able to find anything indicating how to set my outbox back to asking my permission to send unsent messages.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thank you.

    check these settings:
    Tools > Options > Advanced > Network & Disc Space
    click on 'Offline' button
    When starting up:
    Select: 'always startup online'
    Send unsent messages when going online
    select: 'Ask me'
    Download messages for offline use when going offline?
    suggest 'Ask me'
    click on 'OK' to save offline settings
    click on 'OK' to save changes to Options.
    Create an email addressed to yourself and use the Send Later option to put it in the Outbox.
    Close and reopen Thunderbird.
    You should get the prompt asking to send email.
    If you choose yes then the email in the Outbox will be sent.

  • TS4083 Using iCloud I deleted e-mail on my iPhone but it did not delete from iPad. What settings do I need to fix this?

  • When I delete a message from my mini iPad why doesn't it also delete from my home computer?

    I can send and receive emails on my iPad mini but if I delete a message it still remains a message on my desktop. How do I synchronise the two to make sure I can delete them remotely?

    There are some e-mail accounts, for instance G-Mail, where it becomes necessary sometimes to log in to the mail account using your web browser and delete the mail from the server ('All Mail' folder, particularly) to get rid of the repeated download. Maybe your e-mail account has decided to emulate G-Mail! Or did you do any changes to your account set-up in Mail?

  • How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

    How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
    I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step.  I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

    Hi furiousbalancing,
    With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
    To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
    Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
    You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
    You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

  • Mail w/ Gmail showing "important" messages in inbox as unread even when deleted and read on other devices

    This is a werid one but hoping somehere here can help or at the very least someone from Apple is listening.
    I'm using several Gmail accounts across all of my macs and iPhone / iPad.  To be specific:
    13" MacBook Air - Mid 2011
    13" MacBook Pro - Mid 2012
    27" iMac - Mid 2012
    iPhone 5s
    iPad Mini
    (All Macs are running 10.9 with the latest build of Mac Mail 7 (1822).  All software updates are performed on all machines.  Both iDevices are iOS7 latest versions.)
    All of my emails (5 gmail accounts and 2 exchange accounts) but one (a Gmail account) work just fine across all devices.  I have one Gmail account that acts weird, but only on one mac (iMac 27").  Here is the issue:
    On this account, all devices EXCEPT the iMac, when I read a message it shows up as read on all other devices.  When I delete a message it deletes from all other devices (but is still accessable from All Mail folder).  However on the iMac, it never shows up as read (still shows the blue dot next to it and still shows a number next to the mailbox name).  If I delete a message on another device, someimtes on the iMac is remains in the inbox, sometimes it deletes.
    Some further info that might help / things I have tried:
    I tried Removing the acocunt and re-adding it to Mail.
    I have tried reindexing all mail per Apple's method.  This works, but as new mail comes in, and gets read on other devices, the problem returns.
    I have tried to "rebuild mailbox" about 20 times.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.  The problem always returns as above, after reading / deleting mail on other devices.
    Sometimes just rebooting Mail seems to catch some of the items deleted on other devices, but not mail that is read on other devices
    I also noticed that many of these mail itmes were labeled as "important" in GMail so I went in and switched Gmail out of the "important" mode and back to the classic.  Then I reindexed and rebuilt again just to be sure.  Now the mail is no longer labled Important, but the read counts are not correct and I'm still showing read mail as unread on this one device.
    I have also deeply compared mail on my iMac and my MBA.  All settings in preferences are the same.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?  It's making it very hard to use my iMac for work and it's my primary machine.  I'm cringing at the alternatives (outlook is simply not an option for me)

    Read the blog post Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation and see if there suggestions work for you.
