WM2003 Inbox - how to keep mail on server?

ChicoJeff · 10-21-03, 05:24 PM

Is it possible to configure a POP3 account in the Inbox that will retrieve email from a server, but leave a copy on the server?

I would like to use this method to read my home email, but I also want to have it waiting at home once I return.

I checked all options I could see and found nothing.

thanks

In my case it worked (on Windows Mobile 2002) just set it as an IMAP acount not a POP one. Try it and tell me.

PS: I am having a nightmare trying to find out how to upgrade to WM 2003 without losing my pop/imap acounts emails on my Axim. No backup seems to restore fine on 2003... No ones knows how to pass/sync this accounts emails to PC (Outlook)...

Pocket Inbox does NOT delete mail from your ISP mailserver.

The option to delete mail from you're ISP's POP3 server is an option you set using your desktop mail client.

Yes, Pocket Inbox DOES delete mail from your ISP mail server. As soon as you clear any deleted messages from the "Deleted Items" folder in Inbox and connect to your mail server, those items are deleted from the server.

I couldn't find a way to turn that off either...

The answer truly is not to delete messages from the device, or do not clear them from the device until they are cleared from your home POP server.
