Deleted Apple Emails Return on Android Device

For the past couple weeks, my Apple emails won't delete when using my Android phone. This was never an issue before, but now when I open my Apple email on the Android phone and then delete emails, they repopulate. When I attempt to then check my trash folder, it opens for a second and then disappears.


This happens when opening the Apple email directly, or within the Android mail Widget by checking "All Inboxes"

I have no problem with my emails not deleting when viewing these while using my Apple devices.


Any fix recommendations?

iPad, iOS 10

Not sure if you guys have found a solution yet. I am using an Android phone and syncing my icloud mails to it. I read something about having a second trash in icloud, so I wanted to go check that out and delete it. Meanwhile on my phone I went to my apple inbox, selected the trash, waited a while for it to sync/load and now when I delete mails, they stay away. Hope this helps - it worked for me (don't ask me how).

Hello dena61,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. Although you may need to contact support for your specific Mail app, we can try to assist for issues you experience if it happens when visiting the iCloud website to review your emails. To start, we'd like to ask a few questions.


  • What web browser are you using? Does it happen on multiple browsers?
  • Are you running the latest software version for your device?
  • It sounds like this is a new issue; what changed with your device since the last time it worked as expected?
  • Are you able to check your iCloud email from an Apple device? If so, do you experience the same issue?


Best regards.

Hi, This is happening on my pixel 6A phone and when I'm using the mail app from Google, which has my Apple email added to it. This has been happening for about 10 days. I just checked the last app update, and it was March 7th, so this must be the reason. I don't have the same issue in my older iphone or iPad. So knew it was something with my Android phone, and the March 7 update aligns perfectly with then the issue started. I hadn't thought to check the app update, good idea, thank you.
