I use Comcast as my email provider. Within the phone settings I have it set to "delete from server when removed from inbox". Not only does it NOT delete emails (i.e. spam) from the server, but sometimes when I go to check for new mail on the phone, it re-downloads those emails I previously deleted. Has this happened to anyone else?
I have searched for this EXACT problem everywhere. Hubby and I
have Comcast as well we use different computers diff itunes accounts
but have, obviously, same "comcast" account, diff email address
of course. We bth have the iPhone 3gs and ONLY my husbands
iPhone does this, mine does not!!! Please help! I called comcast
they of course blame Apple. husband ready to turn iphone into
paperweight. Lol
My Comcast email account does NOT do this...BUT both my Yahoo email addresses do this all the time. Even if I go on my PC and log into my Yahoo accounts and delete my emails there, they still will eventually redownload onto my iPhone! I have no clue as to why...but it does get old having to delete the same emails over again! 😟
I have the same problem (gmail account). I get old e-mails I have already deleted and items from my spam folder put back in my inbox and then pushed to my Blackberry. Very annoying.
