I have set my iphone 3g to remove emails after 7 days but it doesn't seem to. Using pop3. All else seems good. Any ideas?
Also, how can I manually delete a zillion old emails via webmail or otherwise?
Thanks
Peter
Hi Peter, I am assuming you are using IMAP on the iPhone.. seems to be logical since depending rather they have added an ability to store email on the iPhone. I used my Blackberry for a long time on my account. And the issue with using any phone for email, is not always is the application on the iPhone going to delete and purge the emails. You have to understand that when deleting email from the phone you should have an option to delete from phone and server.
I would suggest contacting support in regards to this, it may be the apple application itself doing it since mac and apple both use different processes than what is on other smart phones. If, you request a mass deletion, then I would advise that they will delete all email but support does not have the ability to just pick and choose email to remove. So, I would check the application to make that it is deleting and purging email off the server from the phone.
