Yahoo/att email from my ipad2 are deleted from the server view.
When reading my yahoo/att email from my ipad2 they are deleted from the server view. Is there any way to keep this from occuring? I have my home pc set to not delete upon reading to allow manual retention as needed.
If you recently added back your email account it was most likely set up as an IMAP account - renowned for the seamless sync across your device - yes I am being a little sarcastic there - at the technology not at you
The oft recommended way to "force" the email to be POP is to add your email address in there incorrectly - misspelling works fine - and then it asks whether you want a POP or IMAP account
Try that - delete the account - you will not lose your emails in there
Then re add and follow the steps I recommended and see if that solves your issue

My iPad is showing 315 unread messages on one of my email accounts. There are none on the server(comcast), none show on iPhone or PC. How do I get rid of this notification.

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.)

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.
ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option. -
Any ideas why I have emails received on iphone but are deleted from p.c ?.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I receive Emails on my Iphone, but they are deleted from my p.c.?
You're using a POP account instead of IMAP. That's how it works.

On a daily basis my emails are deleted from the server, even if I still have them on my computer.
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. -
ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???
''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1033560 /questions/1033560]''
mozilla ask me if I want to compact, I click yes . . Then, ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???Any time mail disappears from the server, there's a pretty good chance there's some device pulling it off. This can happen even without you intending it to. For example, the default Verizon setup for a long time (and possibly still) configured Outlook automatically unless you were paying attention and unchecked the box during the install.
The easiest way to fix it is to change your password. Once the device(s) can no longer authenticate, the disappearances should stop.

I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?
I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?
Weird.
Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before. In the meantime...
By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu? Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet? -

When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?
iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

When can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?
May I know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?
I am eagar to register an email address, let's say "[email protected]"
I created this address as an alias email in my original Apple ID + iCloud account. But that is not what I want.
So I deleted the alias email.
Register an new Apple ID.
And then re-register the icloud email address "[email protected]" via the new Apple ID
But was being rejected. And the reason was that, the address has already be picked up.
So I would like to know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another account.
Please Help !!You can't do what you want.
Email aliases are forever tied to the account that created them, cannot be moved to another account, and cannot be made into a standalone account.

Can I get my contacts back if they are deleted from ICloud?
Can I get my contacts back if they are deleted from ICloud?
If your contacts is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the contacts. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the contacts went missing, you will not have the contacts on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the contacts.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
Gmail emails are very commmon sources for contacts and you may have been adding them to the gmail contacts without even knowing it. -

How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?
How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?
That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

The original photstream instructions, and the current photostream information page on the apple website, say that photos on your pc or mac computer that have been synced by photostream are permanent but the latest updatge seems to have changed that so when items are deleted from any device they are deleted from all devices, including images that have gotten older and have rolled out of photostream on my iphone. I trusted photostream to save these images on my computer and now they appear to be gone. Can I turn off the option of deleting photostream images from my computer or do I need to copy these images to another folder to save them from being deleted when they are deleted from the device.

ok so i can't figure this out because i keep being told different things by everybody.
so say I take a picture with my phone. that picture is now located in my camera roll and uploads to my iclouds photostream, which I can then view on my computer. now my question is this: is the photos in my stream, on my comp permanent, allowing me to then delete them from my phones camera roll?
No
Photostream keeps them for 30 days.
