email keeps re-downloading

I just checked my home settings (Outlook) and the box to leave mail on server is (and always has been) unchecked. On my iPhone I have it set to Delete from Server When Removed from Inbox. But, the problem with repeated downloads persists. My email is a verizon.net account, by the way. Any thoughts, anyone?

Thanks.

Anyone come up with anything? This is getting more and more frustrating each day. one thing I have noticed is that sometimes, although there's no pattern as far as I can see, after I go through my email, at the bottom it says "Loading more messages X total, Y unread." If i press that , nothing more downloads and the ones I previously deleted don't download again. I'm getting really tired of deleting the same 20-30 messages over and over and over.

Thanks!

I am having a similar issue which frustatinly is only happening when I am on data romaing overseas (and therefore paying a SIGNIFICANT amout of money to constantly redownload my messages.)

I can go for a few days and email will be fine but then, for no reason, the iphone will redownload all messages for say the past 30 days. Today (9th May) I went to check mail and all messages since 11th April where gone and were in the process of redownloading.

I travel ALLOT with my work and this is simply not a workable solution. It never seems to happen when I'm home (in UK). On digging into this it may be related to somethng on exchange server and the timestamp on the messages? However I'd like apple to comment on and fix the issue!

I'm afraid to say it, and I may be wrong, but I haven't had the problem since upgrading to iOS 6.

Still an issue with ios 7.1.1! It's been 4 years! E-mails keep downloading repeatedly...forever.

Still an issue with ios 8! on an iPhone 6. Apple just ignoring this issue for 5 years. No bigs.

I wasn't having this issue until the recent IOS upgrade.. 😟 now i am.

I'm on IOS 9.3 on an 6s.

Does anyone have any updates on how to fix this?

I feel that we should not have to change anything on our email settings on the computer.. its an iphone/application issue.. not a computer problem.

The only thing that has changed is on the phone.

i should note... it seems to only be my hotmail acct doing this... gmail is fine.
i have disabled my hotmail acct on my phone for now - but again that's not ideal.

Deleting and re-installing my e-mail account solved this problem. Thanks for sharing!

Happens daily to me now. Has been getting worse every month for the last year. Simple solution: Android
