My phone is locked down, but I think you can go into Settings ->
Passwords and Accounts and then double tap on your email account. You
may also need to double tap on advanced after that. Like I said,
hopefully someone else who's iPhone isn't locked down by their employer
can be more precise.
BTW, if you're using a common email provider then the default settings
should be used automatically. For example, if you're using Gmail then
you'll get IMAP by default.

have some of the same issue Joy described. Is there a way to check which I have
on the phone and to change, if it is on POP?
Best regards,

You are right, it is a pop account. Can I change it only on the phone?
Because there isn't a way to do so on my computer. Let us just say that I'm
running an old system and old software (for the moment anyway) and leave it at
that.
But would the type of account really prevent me from selecting and deleting messages en mass?
Thanks!

What you describe sounds like you use the POP protocol which should be avoided
like the plague. I don’t know your email provider, but most nowadays support
IMAP and if you set up your email account on your iPhone as well as your
computer using the IMAP protocol you will have no more issues such as you
describe and in addition you get proper syncing of emails, e.g. if you reply to
an email on your iPhone the email will show as replied to on the computer and
the corresponding sent message is in your Sent Items folder, if you delete an
email on your iPhone it will also be deleted on the computer. Essentially with
IMAP any changes you do are done on the server and any devices whether it’s one
iPhone and one computer or one iPhone and 5 computers get all the changes.

Subject: IPhone Email Questions
Good day,
I am having two problems with my email on the IPhone.
First, I have the one server and email account. I mainly use my Email on my
primary device which is not my IPhone. I have my mail set to delete from the
server when it downloads to this computer (my primary device), and not to
delete from the server on the IPhone.
My problems/questions are, that the phone is downloading mail more than once
even after the message has gone to my primary computer and therefore is no
longer on the server. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
And what makes that problem worse is although I have repeatedly checked and followed all
the instructions I could find (and tried a few variations) I have been unable to delete
the entire contents of my in-box. I have "marked" the messages in every way
possible but nothing I do changes the delete button from dimmed. Is there some other
background setting I need to change or something I can fix so I can mark and delete all
these messages at once? It is time consuming and very unpleasant to have to do them one
at a time, and to have gotten rid of a substantial number only to see them all come
flooding back is very frustrating. (To be Extremely polite!)
Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joy
