How do I delete my emails from my phone and server?

[Jess Prater]

Hello, I just switch from an iphone to a galaxy alpha 4 and I'm having some issues with the email. I have a yahoo account and every time when I delete my emails from my phone, they always come back after a couple of minutes. I've checked my incoming and outgoing servers and it's set on IMAP. How do I get them deleted from my server? Can you please provide step by step detail or a website that will tell me how to do so, I'm not having any luck. Much thanks!

Welcome to the forums. Are you using the Yahoo mail app?

No, I don't have the app. I just access it through my email app.

See if the actual Yahoo app makes a difference. There might be a setting in the general email app that might be causing problems too.
