Why are my emails coming back to my inbox after I delete them?

After I delete emails off of my phone they come back into the inbox the next time I go to my email. Does anyone know what I can do to keep them off my phone once deleted?

Your email account must be a POP type, and you have it set NOT to delete the email from the server when deleting from your inbox.  The email remains on your server and gets sent to your inbox again when it's remove from there.  POP accounts are not designed to send to more than one email client.
Settings > Mail.... > (your account) > Advanced > Delete from server > When removed from inbox

  • Why Are Surnames Continually Added Back to Contact Entries After I Delete the Surname?

    I have quite a few contacts with just their first name.
    The Contacts app on my MacBook Pro continually adds last names -- if I had it in there at one time and since removed it -- back to the contact. Then this syncs over to my iPhone and iPads.
    Why does Contacts do this and how can I stop it permanently?

    Hello HellBlazerRaiser,
    If contacts are reverting back, the next place I would try to fix is at iCloud.com, from there you can edit from the source of the contacts. I have also provided and article that will assist with troubleshooting contacts across multiple devices.

  • TS3276 why the emails keep coming into my inbox after I delete them?

    My emails keep coming into my inbox after I deleted them. Why is that?

    It sounds like your ISP's Mail Server is an IMAP type that retains the Mail on the Server.  You need to go into your Mail> Preferences>Accounts> and set the Mail to Delete from the Server, after a set amount of time.
    Hope this helps

    If the email account is an Exchange or IMAP account, this is normal behavior. All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.

  • Why are my iMessages coming back as "not delivered" on ALL devices?

    For the past 2 days, my iMessages have been showing the message "not delivered" on ALL of my Mac devices. iPad, iPhone and my Macbook pro. I have the new Mountain Lion software. This does not only happen when I have wi-fi on, but also when I was using 3g today on my iPhone. I asked my friends if they could see there was something wrong with my imessages, and yes, they said that they would receive the same message when they tried to iMessage me ONLY.
    The thing is, I know that my iMessages are going through.
    Anybody have any ideas? I searched around for similar issues, but none seemed to match this kind of problem. Any help is definitely appreciated.
    Thanks a lot!

    Found a fix on another thread that seemed to work.
    Go into Messages preferences and uncheck "enable this account."  Wait a few seconds, then recheck it.
    Also disabled and re-enabled imessages on my 4S just for good measure.
    Hope this helps

  • My messages are taking up space on my iphone even after I delete them.

    I delete my text messages and afterwords they are still taking up the same amount of space when I check my usage on my phone. I have turned of spotlight search, synced to iTunes and none of that has worked.

    The only option I see is to restore your phone as new to removed the save message in usage.
    I have about 6.7 gb of saved messaged, I've done all the troubleshooting steps and only a restore will get rid of it.

  • Why is my email coming addressed to Holidays in Canada?

    Why is my email coming addressed to Holidays in Canada.  My google profile has my correct name, and it has my correct name on other devices, but on our new computer it comes up as Holidays in Canada. The address is correct, but the name is wrong.

    I did several things...
    1. Went into Google calendars and made sure the "Holidays in Canada" box was UN-checked
    2. Went into my Calendars on my Mac and made sure the "Holidays in Canada" was UN-checked
    3. I had a new email address too, so I went into my contacts and made sure I had my new email address under my own name in my contacts
    I then went back to my mail and it no longer shows up as "Holidays in Canada" either in the To or From fields

  • Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle?

    Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle? I'm running 10.3.9 and iCal v. 1.5.2. This started after I did software updates this week.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I solved it in my case by going to System Preferences>Internet & Network>QuickTime>Advanced, then clicking the checkbox to Enable Flash. I also had to quit and restart iCal.
    I think the Quicktime715 update that recently came out had something to do with it.
    It seems that the black box is supposed to be a movie of a vibrating alarm clock, and apparently that movie uses Flash.
    I hope this fix works for you too.

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.
