Delete messages from Gmail, but keep in Apple Mail?

Hi all.

I use Apple Mail to download my Gmail via IMAP (Apple Mail 9.3, OSX 10.11.5).

The problem is that my Gmail account is complete. To free up space in Gmail, I want to delete messages from Gmail, but keep them locally in Apple Mail. How can I do? I guess it's the server settings, but I don't know if I need to tinker with the Apple Mail, Gmail server settings, or both.

I tried to delete the messages in Gmail, but Apple Mail sync with Gmail and delete them locally, too.

Thank you!

Activate the sidebar of accounts, so you can see the hierarchy of depot.

You should see a section here which says on my Mac. Click to show it, then right click to add box to the letters it. Call it something like old Gmail 2008-2014. Now you can select your old Gmails mainly Gmail Inbox and sent boxes and drag them to this mailbox on my Mac (folder). If you move hundreds or thousands of emails, here could be a delay before they appear in the new location, so don't panic.

Note: Many users choose simply to archive old emails, but do in Gmail, still continues to them on the server, if you're not reduce used storage space.

  • How to remove messages from IPhone to reflect on Apple Watch?

    How can I delete a message from the iPhone and the Apple Watch?

    Until now what I noticed, is that if I delete any message on the device remains the same, on the other hand, there is no synchronization or automatic mirroring. This happens only in iMessage, other applications of synchronization occurs automatically in the other device. I did a software reinstall on Iphone devices and watch and still does not work.

    What I need, is just delete the iMessages on my Iphone and delete also on my Apple Watch automatically.

    Hello

    Delete the message is not synchronized on devices (and there is no way to enable this). Messages must on the contrary be deleted separately on each device (this is also how the app works through additional Apple devices, like a computer, iPad,...).

    The mirror that my iPhone for Apple Watch determines only how you receive a notification of new messages. If you choose custom, for example, you can decide if your watch watch alerts, audio or haptic alerts are provided and if (including the number of times), alerts are repeated when you receive new messages.

  • iPhone 6s is deleting messages from the Inbox of gmail

    Hello-

    I hope someone can help me - this happened to me 3 times where my gmail my Inbox on my iphone-related inexplicably now - has all messages in gmail 'important' removed from anywhere in gmail and always first noticed in my phone inbox. I am inclined to think that this has something to do with my phone that I never had this problem until the last 6 months, after the software upgrades. Can someone explain please how to fix this? I think it has something to do with POPP settings but I don't know enough tech to understand what it means and also understand that could be a problem with gmail configuration. ANY HELP would be, oh so so so appreciated. I use my Inbox as my to do list now, once again, there are emails there I won't be able to respond to the.

  • Thunderbird, re - download messages from gmail years!

    I got the email sending problems (see other thread) with gmail/thunderbird 38.4.0, and I must have changed something in my get parameters, because now Thunderbird is re - download all messages from July 2013. I use POP because I like to be able to delete my Gmail server messages when they are downloaded to Thunderbird. I activated the disabled IMAP and POP. I don't know where these messages come from because when I connect to gmail in my browser, it doesn't seem to be any messages it except in my "sent" folder. I am that they were removing all this time after downloaded Thunderbird, but apparently not because they are all coming in again. I'm getting flooded by mail now. Funny is that this isn't to attract new messages in my Inbox when they arrive in gmail in the browser (or maybe I'll just be for them after she did it download 2013, 2014 and 2015!) Can anyone help?

    I thought about it. The messages were apparently only deleted from the Inbox of Google and always resided in other folders in GMail. I changed something in my settings in Gmail and Thunderbird which caused everything to be downloaded by Thunderbird. I saw what was happening and stopped. I closed Thunderbird before it could do more, then entered with GMail and all that had been removed from the folder all deleted messages. So I ran Thunderbird and everything was fine, after that I cleaned up the previous duplicate messages. Gmail is trying to cling to your email, so it can be analysed for commercial purposes!

  • TBird does not delete messages from POP3 server with setting of ' leave messages on the server until I delete them.

    I use the pop3 Storage account. I installed thunderbird to download messages only when I ask them. I installed thunderbird to leave messages on the server until I delete them. I am able to send and receive messages without problem, but the messages that I delete the Inbox of Tbird not deleted from the server.

    In addition, what is the expected behavior for messages on the server if I move them to a local folder? That should remove them from the server, or they remain on the server until I have remove the local folder?

    Thank you.

    Deleting a message that "it mark as deleted", but it's still in the folder that is hidden from view. It's now displaying in the folder "deleted".

    you need to compact your file.
    ClickON Inbox right and select "Compact".

    Inbox, junk and probably get most of the activity when it comes to deletion, so they should be compacted ona regularly.
    I have several emails that I will delete every day, so these two fodler get compacted by day.

    See info on:
    maintain a healthy thunderbird.

    Compacting file, what it does and why it is important.

  • BlackBerry Q5 permanently delete messages from Pocket and the server

    I have a smartphone BlackBerry Q5 for work.  I want to know how it is possible to remove messages from your handheld, so that they may never be seen again.  I have removed from my Inbox on my PC at work, deleted my box deleted on my PC at work and then purged my deleted emails while they are supposed to be deleted on the server forever.  Yet, if I do a search on my handheld for the said emails, although nothing comes originally, if I click on the remote at the bottom of the page search opition, mails very I want permanently deleted all the records now appear and even when I enter them and click on delete, they're not going anywhere.

    I absolutely need their party for good if nobody knows what can be done?  In addition, e-mails can be recalled all have a red no signs of entry next to them and I don't know what that means.  Any help to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    And tells me ^^ again once there is a mail server problem, not a matter of BlackBerry.

    The Q5 and all models of BlackBerry10 OS do not store or save send ON the device, they synchronize the email from the server. So if remove you account and the account again on the installation media, and the same e-mail synchronized to your handheld... where do you think they are synchronization from?

  • Reading, replying, deleting messages from Message Hub without user interaction

    I need access to the hub of the Message to read the messages/email from particular sender.  The app would have read the message, extract information such as the e-mail address of the sender of the message and reply to the sender. I want to achieve this goal without the user intervention or interference to end of self-test.

    For example, I get a message in the Blackberry hub, Application research and read a message from a specific sender. It retrieves information and answers back to the sender. After the response is sent, the message should be deleted. But this should happen as soon as the Application is started. There is therefore no interference of the user while encoded in the files of the CBC.

    There are some Message PIM application example that does something similar. But there is user interaction required to send the message. I have a few minor changes and hard-coding an email address. It sends an email to this address, but I need to press the button 'send '. I want to do as soon as the application is started without interacting with a graphical interface to test the object.

    Is it possible to do it in the background and the GUI only shows information such as the email/message received, sent to answer?

    I read the reference to MessageService, Message etc to the http://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades for more information on the API.

    In fact, you can. In the example of Messages , the "Send" feature is attached to a button, so you can raise yourself when you play with the app, but really you as a developer could haved called at any time... It's that they function key:

    void MessageComposer::composeMessage()
    {
        const MessageContact recipient = MessageContact(-1, MessageContact::To, QString(), m_recipient);
        const QByteArray bodyData = m_body.toUtf8();
    
        // Create a message builder to create/modify the message
        MessageBuilder *builder = (m_mode == CreateMode ? MessageBuilder::create(m_accountId)
                                                        : MessageBuilder::create(m_accountId, m_messageService->message(m_accountId, m_messageId)));
    
        builder->subject(m_subject);
        builder->removeAllRecipients();
        builder->addRecipient(recipient);
        builder->body(MessageBody::PlainText, bodyData);
    
        // Send the new message via current account
        m_messageService->send(m_accountId, *builder);
    }
    

    However, this does not require permission to access_pimdomain_messages, which most of the users will not give you unless you have a good enough justification (because it lets you do things like that).

    What you can't do, is use the card of composer of email without user interaction, which is normally how you would like to send an email. This does not require the permission of messages, such as the user has total control over what is sent (if anything).

    Hello hlrnco,

    I understand your Yahoo IMAP email trash stored on the server is deleted, even though the e-mail settings say not.

    Looks like that trash is perhaps not a good place to store mail that you want to keep.

    Mail automatically deletes messages deleted at the specified time. Select one setting other than ever to avoid exceeding the storage limits defined by your account provider.
