thanks, I'll watch for lag in email removal. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Kilburn To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 9:03 PM Subject: Re: removing email from server via IOS mail app
Hi, It sounds to me that you have your settings set correctly. I don't use PopMail anymore so can't check it myself on my iPhone but according to Apple's support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US it looks like you've done it right. Sometimes, things don't delete as quick as they should from servers, especially from iOS connections. Sometimes, iOS access is routed a little different than from a Desktop unit so things don't happen as promptly as they should. That's the best explanation I can come up with for now. If you continue to have problems, post again and I'll dig deeper. Later...

Outlook express removes the messages, but I can't figure out how to get IOS mail to do the same. in the IOS mail settings for comcast, under advanced, I see two settings that look promising. The first is under the "deleted messages" heading, and the setting says "after one week". other options are "never", "after 1 day", and "after 1 month". The other setting is towards the bottom of the advanced settings page, and says "delete from server". I have it set to "when removed from inbox", and the other choices are "never", and "7days". When I check my mail from the iPhone, I get all my messages, and delete them after reading them. Then later, when I check mail from windows outlook express, I get all the same messages that I deleted on the iPhone. But, when I first read them from Outlook Express, then check mail from the iPhone, all those messages are gone since OE deleted them off the server after reading them. How can I get them off the server after reading them from the iPhone? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
