I apologize because I do not understand it in a technical way so I cannot
actually define iMAP or POP. I only know what kind of results I get. Back when
I was using pop, my computer or iPhone would download the emails
from the server. When I used my gmail as a pop account, my iPhone would
download emails that were new to it even though I had already downloaded and
deleted them from my computer. So, I had to re-delete them from my
iPhone. My computer and my phone were not “synced” or in other words they did
not match at all. Now that I use iMAP my iPhone and my desktop, my laptop, and
my iPad all match. If i delete an email from my desktop, then
all of my other devices reflect that. If I move an email from one folder to
another on my iPhone, my desktop and all other devices show that email in the
folder that I moved it to. If I create a new folder, (gmail calls
them labels) then all of my devices will have this new folder/label. Also,
anything I do on the web version of gmail is reflected on all of my devices and
vice versa. I don’t know if I made any sense. I absolutely do not
know or understand how this happens and what the technical differences are,
sorry. I just know that it’s a setting/preference in gmail and on your devices
that you have to set up and finagle to your liking and I totally
love using iMAP. :) I only have experience using iMAP through gmail so I
cannot speak for other email/internet providers. I also have no idea how this
works with Microsoft outlook and PC mail clients but I imagine iMAP
functionality is similar but setting it up may be different than what I have had experience with. :) I switched exclusively to using gmail for it’s iMAP capabilities and stopped using my internet service providers email.
I suggest you google this for a much better explanation than I am capable of sharing. LOL! Also, there are peeps on this list that can do a much better and more thorough job than I have done. All I can really say is that
I love iMAP and how it works for my personal needs. :)

What is the difference between a pop account and a iMAP account?

It’s possible that you did not set up your email as iMAP on the

on your pc or on your iPhone. Maybe your iPhone is set to pop while
your
computer is set to iMAP…It’s just a thought. I once had two mail
accounts
set up for the same email account in gmail on the same mail client.
I had a
iMAP version and a pop version. This was when I was in the process
of
switching over from pop to iMAP. It was a very long learning
process for me.
:) I don't just get things quickly, I have to experiment and
experience
before it clicks. :) Anyways at that time, I even had iMAP on my
computer
and pop on my phone. So, I am just sharing this so you can explore
the
possibility that they are not both set to iMAP. :) It’s also
possible that
both your phone and your computer mail clients are set to POP and
therefore,
they will not mirror each other. I use iMAP and I do any mass
deletion from
my computer because it is quicker and less cumbersome. When i
delete from my
computer, the emails also clear from my iPhone and iPad.
Best of luck,

Hi Rick,
If you use gmail and use the "gmail" account type when
you setup your
account this should not happen and the same goes for
choosing Outlook.com
if
you are using an Outlook.com or Hotmail email. If you
are using a
provider's
email with POP I can't really say since I haven't used
POP in 4 years. I
want hassle-free email and contact synchronization and
by that I mean
email
synchronization including showing which emails I read,
replied to and
forwarded and I want my Sent messages to be there on
all my computers
and
devices and not only emails I received. I tried gmail
and always come
back
to Outlook.com which uses Exchange Active Sync and
which for me always
seems
to work better overall than IMAP.

Sieghard,
I would definitely use a select all if it was
available. I use imap and
typically read most of my email on my desktop pc but
for some reason,
even
though I delete them as I read them on my desktop, they
still remain on
my
iDevices so as a result, I sometimes have hundreds of
emails in my IOS
inboxes. Do I have something setup incorrectly perhaps?

Hi Robert and others,
The ability to "Delete All" in the Trash folder
has been there for a
long time. I personally couldn't care less
whether there is a Delete
All option in the Inbox because at no time ever
do I want to delete
all my email. Of course this depends on how you
setup your mail
accounts and I could see how you might want to do
this if you use POP
where you also download the messages on a
computer. However, if you
sync a mail account using IMAP or
Exchange/Exchange Active Sync, then
you typically delete the messages you don't want
and leave those you
do want because deleting all messages would also
delete them for good
from all your other devices. I always have at
least 2 or 3 and
sometimes 10 or 15 messages in my personal Inbox
and between 10 and
100 in my business Inbox and these are things I
need to deal with before
I
delete them or move them to a folder.
I know this question has come up before, but I
wonder how many people
would actually use a Delete All option. Of course
Apple could provide
it making sure to ask for at least one
confirmation because the last
thing you want to do is accidently delete all
your mail out of the
Inbox although hopefully you would notice the
mistake and be able to
get it back from the Trash before you empty it.

Sieghard

Hello All,
This method is a pain, because if you have more
then 100 it will slow
down, and eventually voiceover stops talking
until you delete that
batch.
I find it interesting, that you can go in to the
junk folder, and
trash folder, mark all of the e-mails, flag them,
and then delete the
entire amount at once, but you can not do this
with the inbox.
It seems to me, that Apple must have thought
about doing this with the
inbox, or is going to allow it in a future
release if the junk and
trash folder allow it.
Thanks,

Yes, Choose "Edit" when your in box is open
and the list of e-mails
is on the screen, tap each e-mail on the
list twice to select it.
When you're ready, delete them all at once
by moving to the trash or
deleting.
HTH,
Penny
