Deleting emails, mail approx. records even Clears Yahoo on computer?

Given that the content of Mail takes a lot of space, I want to delete a large number of emails and files (the same that exists on Yahoo mail). I just want to be sure that their deletion on the mail app won't also erase them from Yahoo on my computer.

Hey CloudsRestWalk,

Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

I see that you're wondering about the impact of the removal of the mail files on your e-mail account.  Everything depends on whether or not the mail files are saved on your Mac, or if they are part of Yahoo.  In the Mail sidebar, you should see the label above the folder list.  If she says "on my Mac" then the emails in that folder are stored on your Mac, and delete the folder should not affect what you see on the webmail of Yahoo.  On the other hand, if the label says "Yahoo" then the folders are on the mail server itself, and remove them will remove them from Yahoo email servers.

For assistance with freeing up storage space, then take a look at the information in this link:

Mail for Mac: free up the storage space for an e-mail account

Take care.

  • Why can I not use Yahoo mail? It will not delete emails. Google chrome does right. Fix it or you will lose our business

    Yesterday, August 22, Mozilla has undergone a massive rupture and complete in the treatment of Yahoo. Initially I thought it was a virus. I immediately passed to Google Chrome & worked on it without difficulty throughout the day. Yahoo was to push all the data/items on the left side of the screen. Who set to date, August 23. HOWEVER, with Yahoo mail problem. Out of the blue, it is impossible to delete emails Yahoo on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of deleted emails, they automatically opens. There is no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of. It is very annoying. Someone is playing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer works great all day. FIX IT!

  • BlackBerry Q10 Q10 deleting Email from my mail server, Email disappeared!

    It's new to my Blackberry experience.  It only happened on the "BOLD".

    Ofter when traveling on the road I clear my mails to my Q10, before you delete it.

    Emails have always been available from my laptop when I need to access.

    However, now, surprise me, when I delete e-mail from Q10, they are removed from my POP mail server

    So I lost some valuable email when I tried to use my laptop to get back them.

    What is happening here.  This is not good.

    Is there a setting to fix this?

    If you can follow simple instructions in this link, you can update your operating system and have the option to remove only on handheld or both.

    If you don't feel that you can follow these instructions or don't want you will have to wait for your operator to release the update.

  • Always on display in the research of deleted messages (years ago and even), blank incoming emails and filters not auto running. * sigh *.

    Two problems here, maybe they are related. I went through and deleted to rebuild the database as other say to do and much more for a while. I'm puzzled.

    Now, I do receive a ton of emails and are struggling to go through all the and need to save a large group of them for my blog of the journal. However I also created subfolders (which btw filters I've implemented will not auto or filter)

    I made a blunder in terribly I suppose that set up e-mails or something, this is what I have going.

    First my biggest problem, emails see the list when they arrive (and it can be a whole bunch with the same date and time) which show the sender and date. When I go to open these emails, they are empty. I don't think that this shows the object, that I did not what happens today... If I log in e-mail that these emails have not the sender, subject, but all seem to have the same date and time and of course emails are empty.

    Annoying problem: my research through my emails will show old messages deleted and shippers with dates and summer topic. But of course, they are removed if no content. I would rather all of these old emails go goodbye altogether.

    3rd, my filters do not auto filter, I have to put this (new to me) option up badly. I'm not going in and manually filter.

    I'm sorry, I waited so long to write, and the problems have accumulated. I'm a newbie with all this, so please be gentle and detailed with me. I think generally these things read me solutions, but all the solutions I found were only for the first problem (above) and seems to help for a little while, then boom she is still with blank emails, which appear to be completely lost.

    Maybe you can guide me to maintain my emails (Imap) online on the server and only read, write, and delete Thunderbird? I am so lost and frustrated. Thank you.

    I'm sorry I let this get so out of hand here,
    Mariah

    That your description sounds a lot to Norton anti virus, but others do.

    Multiple copies of the same message are repeated almost always anti virus analyzes incoming messages. Disable analysis and the problem goes away then turn it on and it resumes.

    My guess is that your filter problems and research problems are also associated with this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that mess so far more than it should...

    Removal of the index
    I assume you mean the global-messages - db.sqlite. If you close Thunderbird and now delete. Research will be incomplete until it rebuilt and the time to do this will have a lot to do with how much mail is and how busy the computer is.

    Now, create an exclusion in your anti virus program for Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is scanning the files in your profile, every time that Thunderbird tries to open and turning usually things in a fierce struggle, including Thunderbird loses that he just does not wait if files are locked. He expects exclusive access to her files immediately, not in 10 minutes when anti virus did it's thing. So things are added to the index but not deleted. Mails do not move as the destination or source file is 'in service', etc..

  • Mail - cannot delete email in-basket - they keep reappearing

    Since the 9.2 update, I noticed a weird behavior with the Mail application.

    Trash folder resurrects deleted emails whenever I delete more than 5 emails or use all the garbage.

    I erase all the configuration data / device as a new device without any id data or apple. (13 times). I just install manually 1 e-mail account (POP or IMAP). Then... the test:

    -I get 15 (numbered from 1 to 15) test messages

    -turn off wifi and put it in airplane mode

    -Back to the Inbox > read 1 & 2 messages and delete them

    -go to the Recycle Bin folder > view 1 & 2 messages and delete them. Basket is empty.

    -Go back to the Inbox and select 3-9 messages and delete

    -go to trash - it displays... 9 messages

    -delete all messages from the deleted items folder. Basket is empty.

    -Back to the Inbox > edit > remove all remaining 6 messages

    -Back to trash - it displays... 15 messages


    Any ideas?


    problem persists after that 12 restores / configuration as a new device.

    has received the report of another user, they also experience the same problem with the iPad.

    Have a phone call to climbed Apple support next week will report update.

  • Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending e-mails to friends.

    Outlook Express keeps coming out of the emails in the Outbox even after sending emails to friendsthen continues to send emails over and over again.

    This occurs even after the email was deleated from Outbox. So that the people that I send to obtain email 20 - 30 times instead of only once.

    Can someone help me solve this problem? I have Microsoft XP Professional on my computer.  Thank you.

    A common cause of this is to have your program configured antivirus to analyze the messages, including outgoing mail.  If you can completely uninstall the AV program, and then reinstall it without the analysis feature mail.  If you can't do that, turn off scanning messages.  You will be just as safe.

  • Outlook express on windows xp professional, cannot delete emails from the Outbox and continues to send a copy by e-mail

    I use outlook express on windows xp professional (OEM:Dell), I'm unable to delete e-mails from the Outbox and continues to send a copy by e-mail. How to remedy?

    Check: File | Work offline and in: reviews | Layout: uncheck the preview pane. Can delete you it now?

    Otherwise:

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, 2K & 2K 3, files from user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX the Outbox.dbx file and delete it. A new vacuum will be created automatically when you open OE.

  • Deleting Email in the Notification Center - iOS 10

    Hello world

    I've recently upgraded to ios 10 and it is fine on a few things, I think it's not so great for my email and the notification Center.

    Using the earlier version of iOS, I would view my notification Center and he would show me all the most recent e-mails that came in.  No matter what email I want to mark as read, I would slide right and mark as read or any email that I wanted to delete, I had to slide to the left and remove.  I was send by the breeze and clear through several emails using this method.

    Now, when I see the email in the notification Center, I slide from left and I SAW and CLEAR.  I know that clear, delete this notification far and the view opens a small secondary window where I have the ability to then 'TRASH' the message if I can't.  Although this feature is fine, it's a bit annoying to go through this process 100 times where as the previous method was bam bam bam.

    Is it possible to get that old way back once again!

    Thank you, Dov

    I have the same question. Changes in the user interface on the notification Center are maddening. In fact, I've downgraded to iOS 9.3.5 because of them. 9.3.5 emails had three actions (X = clear, mark as read, trash) and now in iOS 10 there are two (display or erase) and if you click view, you can navigate to mark as read or Trash. What was a simple click is now two. Doesn't really look like a problem until you are dealing with hundreds of emails a day. In addition, it is not at all clear why Apple would do this. My best guess is that they wanted to jam more stuff into force Touch. But even in this case, it is quite functional and usable. Instead, it is just slower and more boring. In this case, he is Force to touch like a runnning around looking for a problem solution.

    The difficulty of this Apple. I can't, for the life of me understand how everything UI/UX expert think it was a good idea. It's not like you to be as this disconnected from the experience of your customers.

  • Forgotten ID Apple or deleted e-mail address

    I have to give you the full story so that you can understand what happened.

    I broke my iPhone screen 5 a year ago. I used another phone since then, but today, I finally decided to repair it. At the time when my father it was a service guy, but it didn't fix it because I decided to get another phone instead. However, my iPhone had a bout 2 weeks in his shop.

    Today, after the replacement of the screen, the iPhone asks me to put in place all over again, even if I make a reset to the factory settings or anything. This would not have been possible from the phone with broken screen showed no picture. As I remember, the phone is connected to this ID Apple even as I write, which is on a Yahoo e-mail address. However, now it requires a Gmail account. I had an Apple on a Gmail account some time ago, but the problem is I deleted this email address.

    What can we do now?

    I bought the phone in an Orange shop a few years ago. Would they be able to unlock it for me somehow?

    There is no Apple store anywhere near my house.

    Unfortunately, unless you know the Apple ID, there is absolutely nothing that can be done, you cannot use your mobile device. You may be able to find your Apple ID to get your old and forgotten Apple ID

    Generally you cannot delete email addresses.
