Why are emails I deleted from another computer still showing up in my iPad inboxes.

This is just plain annoying. Every time I pick up my iPad, I have to delete dozens of emails I already deleted from my mailboxes (I have multiple accounts ... yahoo gmail hotmail etc.) I looked for a setting that would fix this, but nothing I'm finding seems to resolve this particular issue. How can I sync my iPad email accounts so they are current, and don't require me to delete messages I already deleted from my phone or work laptop or home desktop?

What you're describing occurs when your email provider uses POP rather than IMAP as your email protocol. Are you familiar with the difference? Most webmail providers use IMAP, which is set up for syncing across multiple devices, just the way you want. It sounds as if one or more of your providers is still using POP, the older standard.
I personally like POP, since it lets me choose whether to deal with emails on my iPad or defer them until I'm next on my Mac, but it's a personal preference. Switch to IMAP-only email, and you should be all set.

  • Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?

    Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?

    You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear on the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. As your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, it doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6 devices

    Do you still have all the purchased music on your
    ipod?
    no, b/c when i plugged it in to the new computer and started buying new music all of the old songs just cleared out of the ipod. I don't know why that happened but I can see the songs I bought in my purchase history, I just cannot play them or put the in my music library.

  • Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

    Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
    Any ideas/advice?

    Thanks for your comments.
    I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
    They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
    It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

  • Why are my playlists deleted from my iPhone?

    I've had this iPhone 4 for about a year now, and during most of this time it was synched with one single computer (I manually manage my musics and videos). Recently I had to change computers, and after that I started having some trouble with my playlists: all playlists created in my iPhone (on the go) are deleted as soon as I connect my iPhone into a computer and sync it with iTunes. Any ideas on why this is happening, or how i can fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I figured out why this was happening to me. I have an Iphone 5 & i sync notes to yahoo & periodically my notes get deleted without my knowledge. Here's the story, & I'll need help finding the actual feature on itunes cause I don't sync to itunes since I can't. Iphone 5's will not sync with my power mac. 
    - Periodically I noticed notes disappearing from my notes. Sometimes a couple notes, sometimes a lot of notes. This was frustrating. The only good part was that they all appeared on my mail account so they weren't gone forever. They were just being deleted from my notes app. I then noticed that this was only happening when I plugged my phone into my work computer to get power. Itunes would pop up & attempt to sync my phone. (I turned off auto sync in the Itunes options, but every now and then, some co worker turnes it back on. One time when I plugged my phone to the work computer & it started to sync. I stopped it, then checked my notes. It was in the process of wiping the notes. It started from the top & went down. I must of stopped the sync in time to save some of them. Now if I had to guess, there is probably a "delete synced notes" check box in your device page of itunes. That I cannot verify cause I do not want to sync my device to my work computer to find out.. Can anyone else verify this?

  • Why are some apps deleted from ipad 1

    I was having a problem with my Ipad so I restored it to original and reinstalled apps from the cloud.  But some of the apps have been deleted from the ipad1.  They are available on the iphone, but not my ipad.  How can I get them back?  One of the is Scramble with friends.

    Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.

  • Why are my notes deleting from iCloud all of a sudden?

    I've recently performed a restore on my iPhone 5 and managed to back it up successfully, but I've just realised that when I delete a note from my iPhone, it deletes from my iCloud. Previously, I could delete a note from iPhone and it would stay in the cloud.. How do I fix this? I want to delete some data from my phone but would like it to still be stored online.

    You can't do that.
    You could create a second iCloud account just to use online.

    Hi NancyHoxie,
    Try signing into your email from a private window. [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    Otherwise I would suggest trying Thunderbird and [[Configuration Options for Accounts]] for how to manage email on the computer. When you are done, you may need to delete the account. (if you want it to be temporary :-))

  • TS2621 Why do emails get deleted from my iPod?  Yesterday I had 2 emails.  Today, none!

    One other time all my emails disappeared except the last 2 or 3....

    Several possible reasons come to mind:
    1.  You might be sharing an Apple ID and one of the co-owners deleted them.
    2.  You might be using an IMAP account and have deleted the emails on another device.

  • Received emails are being deleted from Mail but still showing on webmail!!

    Hey people! I wonder if anyone can help?
    I hope i'm not missing something really easy here. A couple of weeks ago i thought i was deleting emails from my inbox and then from my trash with no problems and then imagine my surprise when i get a message saying that my mailbox is almost full and i can't receive any messages.
    I promptly logged on to a webmail site and entered my details and was greeted with every single email i have received since i got my new mac!! I have rebuilt mailboxes to no real effect and was just wondering if anyone can offer a solution? After all i don't really want to keep having to log on to webmail to delete all my items every few weeks.
    Just to add, my email account is with BT and is NOT a .mac account!
    I look forward to anyone helping me please?? I'll wash your car in return or something

    Is the account a POP type account?
    If so, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, is "Remove copy from server" selected? If yes, what is the setting below?
    I use "Right Away" for my POP accounts.
