What you describe sounds like you use the POP protocol which should be avoided like the plague. I don’t know your email provider, but most nowadays support IMAP and if you set up your email account on your iPhone as well as your computer using the IMAP protocol you will have no more issues such as you describe and in addition you get proper syncing of emails, e.g. if you reply to an email on your iPhone the email will show as replied to on the computer and the corresponding sent message is in your Sent Items folder, if you delete an email on your iPhone it will also be deleted on the computer. Essentially with IMAP any changes you do are done on the server and any devices whether it’s one iPhone and one computer or one iPhone and 5 computers get all the changes.
From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of J.Cyr Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 9:43 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: IPhone Email Questions Good day, I am having two problems with my email on the IPhone. First, I have the one server and email account. I mainly use my Email on my primary device which is not my IPhone. I have my mail set to delete from the server when it downloads to this computer (my primary device), and not to delete from the server on the IPhone. My problems/questions are, that the phone is downloading mail more than once even after the message has gone to my primary computer and therefore is no longer on the server. Is there a way to stop this from happening? And what makes that problem worse is although I have repeatedly checked and followed all the instructions I could find (and tried a few variations) I have been unable to delete the entire contents of my in-box. I have "marked" the messages in every way possible but nothing I do changes the delete button from dimmed. Is there some other background setting I need to change or something I can fix so I can mark and delete all these messages at once? It is time consuming and very unpleasant to have to do them one at a time, and to have gotten rid of a substantial number only to see them all come flooding back is very frustrating. (To be Extremely polite!) Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Joy -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
