Why can't some Hotmail emails be deleted from phone?

I can't delete some Hotmail emails from my iPhone (iPhone 5, iOS6.1.4).  It doesn't happen with all Hotmail emails.  It appears that this only happens with Hotmail emails that have been on the iPhone, opened on the iPhone but not deleted via the iPhone, and then deleted via my computer by accessing my Hotmail account.  The emails remain in the Hotmail account on the iPhone and when I try to delete them, via "edit" and deleting selected or swiping and choosing "delete," I receive an error pop up that says "Unable to Move Messages  The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash."  The email will temporarily be removed, but it will then reappear.  Anyone have a clue on how to fix this?  Thanks.

"Unable to move message to folder "Trash" because the folder does not exist"
Note: This should not affect MobileMe accounts.
Resolution
To resolve this issue go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [affected account name] > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox on iPhone or iPod touch.
If "On the Server" is an option, select Trash below that (or select Deleted Items or Deleted Messages). Otherwise, select Trash located under "On My iPhone". Once the Deleted Mailbox has been set, tap Advanced and then press the Home button to return the Home screen.
If the Deleted Mailbox is already set to Trash, please follow these steps:
Tap another folder such as Spam under the "On the Server" section
Tap Advanced.
Tap Deleted Mailbox, then set it to Trash located under On My iPhone.
Tap Advanced.
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

    Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
    Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
    I am able to send using my   me.com  server.
    Home service provider is Cogeco.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Why is all of my email being deleted from the server?

    Hi Everyone!
    I am using an iPad Air 2, iOS version 8.1.2 (still have to perform the current update).  When I download email from my ISP, Comcast, it gets deleted from their server.  This never happened with my 2nd Generation iPad.
    I go to settings>Mail>accounts>advanced - and under the Incoming settings, I don't have an option for "delete from server"  where I am supposed to select "never".  Instead, it has "IMAP Path Prefix / "
    How do I fix this so my email stays on the server?   I like to check my email using my ipad and iphone, but I prefer saving it on my desktop PC but I can't do this because when my email is downloaded into the ipad, it gets deleted from Comcast's servers.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Actually, it had to do with Comcast, not the iPad. The default for Comcast is IMAP, and that is based on the information they have available when the account goes into verification. It verifies an IMAP account, and since you have not migrated to the IMAP account, you were having problems. It isn't something anyone can fix, except you. It would not ask you at the beginning if you wanted IMAP or POP, it has to do with the mail provider's verification settings, which is a Comcast issue, but because they are providing IMAP now, it defaults to that. If you are still using POP, you have to force the mail app to get there, which is what I provided you the instructions for. Apple is not going to fix anything, because there is nothing for them to fix.
    Either way, you got it fixed and that is all it takes. As a Comcast customer, I was aware of this, since I had migrated to IMAP already.

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    As far as I know, you need to configure your email account as IMAP if you would like to have them removed on the phone when they are deleted at your PC. If you're not sure about the settings for IMAP, I suggest that you contact your email provider which should be able to give you the right settings.

  • Why can I not select emails to delete?

    This morning I went into two mailboxes to try it in both.
    In the list of emails, I click Edit, and then start to tap each email I want to delete.  a second after selecting each one, it deselects!!
    So I cannot multiple select emails.

    It seems to be happening mostly for Hotmail account.  I just rebooted and tested two accounts.  Only in Hotmail now.

  • Why can't we block emails and numbers from iMessage/FaceTime?

    I'm on a wifi iPad so I can't reach out to a carrier to block someone harassing me, how come iMessage/FaceTime doesn't come with this feature built in?

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You're not addressing Apple here. No one here would know why Apple hasn't included that feature. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • I can open my hotmail email but cannot reply or send new messages. this just started last week.

    I can open my hotmail email but cannot reply or send new messages. this just started last week. Don't know why not. Is this a Firefox issue or a Microsoft issue? 'Cause it's near impossible to get Microsoft to get back to me. Hope you can help me.

    I resolved both my problems.  The problems with Walgreens is that my own Frontier internet connection is very slow and will allow only minimal  downloads.  When I used a Verizon Hot Spot to download pictures they downloaded without any problem.  So I am working iwth Frontier to resolve my slow internet speed.  The problem with pictures be syncronized to a gallery was resolved by using the Help column and the pictures were easily deleted by following their instructions. 

  • HT201320 Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....

  • HT1430 why can't I send emails via my iphone & ipad?

    Why can't I send emails from my iphone & ipad? Everything worked fine last night, but I updated my software yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been having the same problem with one of several email accounts on one iPad2 and one iPhone5.  It has been driving me crazy.  I have deleted and reinstalled the email accounts more times than I can count and was ready to throw the device out the window.  However I just found a post from another user who stated that they were able to solve this problem by confirming that the outgoing mail server password was corrected.  Apparently they found that after an upgrade the old password was retained by the server.  I had never checked this because it's a few extra steps to get into the outgoing mail server.  When I did I found that it was incorrect.  Once changed, I was able to send the email again.  Problem solved!  Also I agree that the other user was rude in commenting to you the way that he/she did.  Hope this helps you

  • Why can I not share/email my iPhotos on my iMac?

    Why can I not share/email my iPhotos on my iMac? My email account is working fine, yet it will not send. HELP please!!

    Because you have a problem you need to fix - no mind readers here - exactly whyat happens? Why can't you e-mail photos? How are you doing it? What e-mail client are you using?
    The general answer for iPhoto '11 is
    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • How can I get my email to delete off my computer as I delete it off my phone?

    I can't seem to sync my phone to my computer when I delete my email.  I have to delete from my phone and then log in to my Cox email to delete from there.  Is there a way to get it off both at the same time?  I have a POP address with cox.

    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Select your Mail account > Advanced > Delete fro server > change it to when removed from my inbox
    Another option is to forward your Cox email to your iCloud email account. iCloud uses IMAP not POP so you would not have that problem
