This may be a
gmail question not a voice over question. Dismiss it if you think it
inappropriate for the list.
I've been going through the "ALL" folder and getting rid of all the mail I
thought was deleted but never has been. Everything is in there including
notes and they date back to 2017, which was when I set up the g mail account
on my iPhone.
All was going well until suddenly all the mail from the All folder
wound up in my In box. I don't remember saying move all to the In box but
that is the only thing I can figure out happened when I told it to move a
few of the posts back to the in box.
Someone told me that there is a way from the phone to tell gmail to
delete all deleted mail from the server but I can't find it anywhere in
settings on the actual phone. My guess that if this is even possible it must
be done from gmail on the internet.
In settings I see a place to turn off notes and calender which I take to
mean notes and calaender appointments will remain on the phone but there
will be no back up that I can access in the archive or All folder which I"m
not sure means it will never show up anywhere in ether space. Is that a
correct assumption?
I picked up a cheapphone from Consumer Cellular and left it on the original
apple account which means if I cloud is on everything from my old phone
starts to get transferred over. I've turned backup and the drive off because
I do not want all that old gmail on the new phone. Same with not wanting
Outlook on the new phone either because it too never truly deletes
everything you've deleted. I intend to move everything over from the old
phone which is still functional for the most part but has a different
number, when the new phone gets unlocked in 180 days or so, I will move my T
Mobile chip to the new phone and ditch the consumer cellular
service. I would have no problem keeping it other than I have a free
lifetime t Mobile account through a family member and I do not want to give
that up. I would in fact recommend CC for anyone who wants to look into a
more affordable option. I bought a new 6S for $150 which some may laugh at
but it's more than adequate for now until I find the need to replace it with
something with more memory. It's running 13_ and qualifies for the newest
updates and there is no hitch with it's performance. I wil switch it over to
Spanish and run it on wi-fi alone once I buy another new phone somewhere
down the line.
Any suggestions how to once and for all get mail off the server so it does
not download to other devices? I did a google search and the only useful
thing I found before losing patience was to go into the All folder and get
rid of what is in there.
I hope all are hanging in there with social distancing and recovering from
being sick or trying to prevent getting sick. I'm taking this time to clean
up my computer and files on the phone and generally things are busy as ever
due to the fact that communication through this technology is running
smoothly.
