#Outlook 2016 for mac not deleting emails from server how to#
Please, Microsoft, fix this SOON.Ĭlearly there are settings in Outlook for problems (1) and (2), but I have no clue how to find them. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or internet service provider (ISP)” I know from reading this forum that this is NOT an ISP issue. The error message is “reported error message (0x80042109): Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. I can receive e-mails, but I cannot send them. I prefer to receive e-mails when I choose to receive them, not when Outlook chooses, and (3) Yes, I know Microsoft needs to fix this, but I'm going to throw in my 2 cents anyway. In all the years I have been using Comcast and various versions of Outlook, the e-mails haveīeen deleted from the server when they arrive in Outlook, which is how I like it, (2) Outlook automatically receives e-mails from the server. In Outlook 2016 (the client, NOT ), (1) when e-mails arrive in Outlook, they are NOT automatically deleted from the server (Comcast is my ISP). Almost everything is working (yes, that was a surprise to me, too), except:

It’s too soon to know whether it’s helping, but I started permanently deleting these messages, bypassing the recycling bin, with Shift Delete.I bought a new HP laptop with Windows 10. This has occurred three times in the past 2 months but with each occurrence, fewer extra messages are being downloaded.
Recently, a multitude of deleted ICI files, reminders that integrate into the Outlook calendar, have been downloaded as well as duplicate or triplicate copies of messages still in my Inbox, some read, others unread. Nevertheless, I’ve been getting messages that were deleted, in some cases years ago. With AOL, it’s now POP3, whereas previously it was IMAP, which synchronizes the server with Outlook. I suspect part of the problem is the protocol for accessing email. Previously, I never had a problem with Outlook when email was hosted by Verizon, or previously when Yahoo hosted Verizon email. The problem only started recently, about a year after AOL acquired the Verizon email server. This issue has happened (again randomly) to all 4 of my Verizon/AOL accounts.Īnyone have any input as to what is happening? And possible solutions?Īgreed. I’ve used Outlook for well over a decade without incident. So, I am assuming it's an Outlook 2016 problem? I also check my email on my Samsung S7 phone, and I DO NOT have these re-download issues. The only way that I can deal with this is when these double emails shows up, I then choose to put them into the DELETED ITEMS, meaning when it's deleted, it's gone from the SERVER too - which kills the whole idea of having a back-up of the needed emails for 90 days on the server. Outlook downloaded these on March 27, I read them, decided to keep them and for some reason, they were re-downloaded again on March 31 (today) as new emails (but in reality, repeats). When you go to the Inbox > Options tab, you can view the 'POP and deleting downloaded messages' feature. Launch Outlook and go to its 'More' options at first. Attached are 3 screenshots showing the latest issue. To fix the emails disappearing from Outlook 2016 after reading, do the following check. I have double checked all of my Outlook settings and it all looks correct. And Yahoo mail automatically clears out the Trash in 7 days, and the site says it cannot be changed. When I deleted something in Outlook 2016, the message went to trash, not deleted. I noticed on the server I had a Trash and a Deleted Items folder. I have my Outlook parameters set to deleted email from server if over 90 days and/or when Deleted from "Deleted Items" inside Outlook 2016.įor some reason, those emails that are still on the Verizon / AOL server (and already had been downloaded and read but NOT deleted), get re-downloaded onto my Outlook 2016 at random times. I use ATT Yahoo mail, I have an '' domain. All converted without any problems from Verizon to AOL servers. I have been running Outlook 2016 (version.
A strange problem has started about two months ago, and it happens randomly.
