How to Leave Pop Email as Unread?

[Guest hooded]

So I've successfully setup my wm2003 smartphone to check my gmail. It will pull down any new email. My main is that when I then go home to check my email (again through pop3) The messages I got on my phone do not get downloaded. So I assume whats happening is that my phone's email client is telling the server to mark any email thats been downloaded as downloaded.

Is there any way around this? I suppose some form of syncing could work, but it seems like any mail I have on my computer would sync to the outlook folder on my phone rather than the pop folder and vice versa.

Help would be very appreciated.

BTW I have a SMT5600

I'm not too sure how it is with the SMT5600, but on the Voyager (WM2003), you have a choice when it comes to POP3 mail whether to download the 1st 500kb, 1000kb or just the headers. I opted to download just the headers when I send/receive email from gmail. This way, unless I download the whole message, the server will not recognize it as read.

In some cases, even after I have read the message, I just highlight it and mark as unread (menu + 7). I hope this helps.

I don't know about your mail server or device, but most pop accounts/services offer you an option to "leave a copy on the server".

"leave a copy on the server".

I am having the same problem with WinMob2005 on my I-mate SP5.

It downloads the emails regardless of size or hearder sellect. I want to view them on my phone but leave them on the server for later use.

I have it setup this way on 3 PC's and 1 PDA. The 4th machine is where the emails will be actully removed from the server.

Its it possible for Windows 2005 to leave the emails on the server!!
