Mail to delete messages from the trash on iMac

Mail is deleting messages to my trash folder despite me selecting 'Store on the server' and "Never permanently delete" in the menu of the mailbox behavior for how to deal with deleted messages.  I checked the settings on my iMac, iPad and iPhone and everything seems in order, and yet my basket on my iMac is deleted approximately daily.

I have an IMAP of Yahoo! account.

OS X Version of Yosemite 10.10.5

Thanks for any help!

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.

Mailbox behaviors preferences - help Mail

Permanently erase deleted messages when

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.

If your account provider configures the server to delete old messages, the messages are deleted regardless of how you set this option.

When the trash and Spam folders are empty?

Yahoo Mail regularly deletes the contents of the Recycle Bin. This isn't a parameter, you can change.

Take care.

  • How to delete messages from the Apple Watch

    I see that most of my older posts are still on my Apple Watch.

    These messages can be removed from the watch?

    Hi Ernie

    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,...).

    To delete messages:

    -On your watch, open messages (via the home screen, accessible via a simple press on the digital Crown) > when you view the list of conversation, by sweeping left on a conversation > tap Delete / Trash.

    I want Thunderbird to delete all messages on the server everytime I open the program and collect the messages. More specifically, when I move a message read in a folder I don't want a copy of this folder or message on the server. How one who accomplishes?

    Where is the folder to which you move the message?

    Move your messages to local folders in Thunderbird and they will be stored on your computer and deleted the folder.

    My guess is that your account is configured to use the IMAP protocol and you would be more comfortable with pop.

  • 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.

  • Mailed - by-automatically delete the messages in the trash

    I used to set my mail to automatically delete messages in the trash after a week. Since I upgraded my iBook to OS El Capitan (10.11.4 Version), I can't do that.  Why did change that?  I thought that new operating systems were supposed to make it easier, not harder.

    It deletes messages immediately, or not at all? Open Mail preferences and verify the setting it. Do you have other devices with this email account? Have you tried to rebuild the trash?

  • Thunderbird deletes the messages from the server if I said not to do so.

    I use a POP3 server and have 'leave messages on the server - until I delete"checked but Thunderbird is still deleting messages from the server before my other e-mail viewer gets it.

    If my other program (from MR2ICE under OS2 on another machine) Gets the first messages, I'll see them on both machines.

    If Thunderbird 'em first I don't get them on the other machine, and, when I check via webmail, they aren't there.

    Thank you.

    If you want to see messages on several machines, POP is not the best choice. You choose to use POP, or is it you imposed by the e-mail provider?

    I don't have a job here POP account to check with, but you can try with the option ' until I have delete ' unchecked? You doing anything with messages, such as moving them to another folder?

    I've never been confident with the way that ' until I have remove the ' works; If a message has been moved out of the Inbox to another folder, and you remove it, a request to delete the message always spread on the server?

    With IMAP, by moving a message to a folder in account to somewhere the IMAP server can not see it is actually a deletion; the server can no longer see the message, so syncs by removing its own copy of this message. I haven't checked through what a POP server is in similar circumstances.

    Mail is left on the server unless I choose the option to delete messages immediately, I want to delete messages from the server when I connect to Thunderbird and they have been downloaded on my PC. When I delete messages on my PC, I want them to go to the trash until I empty folder.

    This worked on Windows Live Mail.  Would switching to POP server help?
    

    Messages, I've read about IMAP seem to say that they would be removed by default. Maybe I'm wrong...

    Message filters can move a message to any folder. See 'Tools' from the main menu.
