Leave email on server


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Sorry if I'm being really dense, but is there a way you can get the phone to download entire emails but leave a copy on the server as well?

I thought this is how I had it set up but it still seems to be downloading the mail and deleting it on the server which I don't want it to do. I want it to download my messages so I can read them on the go, but when I connect Outlook I'd like that to download and then delete them. I'm tend to download email on my phone to keep up to date, but then delete it as soon as I've read it so as to save space.

Any suggestions? The only way I can think of is to download just the first so many bytes but if I do that, I don't always get all of the email.

Cheers guys,

Try using the IMAP account of your e-mail provider (assuming that it has one).

Try this:

1) Goto Inbox,

2) Select Menu --> Options

3) Select E-mail set up

4) Go through to server type and select IMAP4

5) Then for incoming mail server change pop.xxxxx.xxx.xx. to imap.xxxxx.xxx.xx (where x=current settings) (or whatever the IMAP address of your e-mail provider is)

6) Go through to end of e-mail options,

7) Now when you check it should leave a copy on the server.

Apologies if I am totally wrong on this....

It will automatically leave it on the server.

However, if you delete it on your phone then the next time you connect it will delete it on the server.

Thanks Bazz, I was wondering why it took two connections to delete them.

Ah I see. That's actually a bit annoying - I thought having lots of emails stored on the phone slowed the perfomance?

I think if you delete the emails from your SPV and emply the Deleted Items folder BEFORE you Send/Receive again, the emails will stay on the server.

Are you sure that spv will delete the email on the server the next time you send/receive if you deleted them on your spv?

I tried and they all are still there even after connecting 3-4times...

I use pop3 & smtp servers

Thank you.
