Deleted email messages When I delete a message on my iphone, it deletes the message on all my devices. I have a pop and imap account on my phone. It only happens on the imap account. If I delete an email from one of my other devices, it does not delete it on my iphone.

iPhone and iPad won’t give a choice of IMAP not POP When trying to set emails in iMAP format, I deleted the account and tried setting up a new one. I did everything it says to do but I’m not given any choice between IPOP or iMAP it just automatically goes to iPOP

IMAP email disappeared (possibly after upgrading to iPhone 13/iOS 15.0) My work email has disappeared from all my devices! I'm in my office on Monday morning, open mail on my iMac and my inbox is entirely empty. I still have Sent messages and Drafts, but fours years worth of incoming messages have vanished. Checked on my new iPhone, and the same thing; nothing in my work email account. I checked the webmail interface in my browser; no incoming email at all. Nothing deleted or archived, just gone. The last time that I know I accessed my work email was from my laptop at home on Thursday. I was out of the office Friday, which is also when I got a new iPhone 13 mini. Switched everything from my old phone Friday afternoon, everything seemed to go fine, didn't think to check my work email at the time. I have other email accounts that are fine (gmail and my personal mail on a POP account) on my phone. I guess it could be coincidence, but it looks very much like my work IMAP mail disappearing coincided exactly with my setting up and copying everything over to my new phone. Anyone else seeing mail problems migrating/upgrading to new iPhone/iOS 15?

You need to ask AOL your using their email account.
