How to use IMAP on iPhone yet delete from server also

I'm searching to no avail. Can I do this (by some combination of IMAP/POP and settings)?
- Leave messages on the server except when accessed by my MacBook Pro (currently POP).
- View messages from my iPhone without having to delete each and every one (IMAP works for this).
- Delete messages from my iPhone and have it delete from the server (POP works for this).
So I can't see how to do all three. Any ideas?

IMAP option to not delete from server OR recommend alternate mail app?

Using POP in Windows computer and IMAP on iphone.
In the iphone, POP has the opton to "delete from server: never"
There seems no way to accomplish this in the stock mail app when using IMAP ?
Using POP on the iphone is not an option due to the longstanding issue of the Apple mail apps not sending a proper termination signal back. The mailbox remains locked until the server times it out for inactivity and cleans up the stale lock after 10 minutes. The result is "wrong password" on the computer if it then tries to retrieve during that period. It's a feature of POP by design to use a lock to prevent corruption caused by simultaneous access to the mailbox. BUT, BB,Android,Windows all handle this correctly so that their POP transaction (and the mailbox lock) only lasts seconds! Only ever see this persistent lock with Apple mail clients
The user likes to keep his phone inbox clean, he will delete messages as he deals with them as well as messages he is postponing to deal with on computer later.
Moving messages to a 'later' folder won't help, as that 'later' folder will not be available thru POP (for the computer)
They also don't want to use IMAP on the computer because they don't want their communications stored on the server any longer than necessary.
Can anyone recommend:
- Windows IMAP client which downloads all and keeps a local copy of inbox which does not synch with server inbox.
- Alternate mail app for iphone which allows "delete from device only // never delete from server "

That's not how IMAP works. If you want to keep the inbox clean, but not delete the messages, create folders and move the messages into them for later review.

My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
Who is your email provider?
They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks for your help.

You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

Email downloaded to iPhone is then being deleted from server

I have set the iPhone "Delete from Server" option to "never", but when I download messages to the iPhone, it is still deleting from the server. Incidentally, the same happens for my iPad).
This is a POP account.
Have I configured something incorrectly or is this a bug?

Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
If you created the account with the Mail app on the iPad or iPhone using the Gmail account preset, the account was created as an IMAP account on the device.
When accessing an account with more than one email client and the email account provider supports IMAP account access, best to access the account as an IMAP account with the email client on your computer (Outlook) and with the Mail app on your iPad and/or iPhone. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. Send a message with the Mail app on your iPad or iPhone, and the message will be available automatically in the account's Sent mailbox on the other device and available automatically in the account's Sent mailbox when accessing the account with Outlook, and vice-versa. This is what an IMAP account is designed for.
A Gmail account can be accessed as a POP or IMAP account, and now as an Exchange account also with the iPhone's Mail app which provides for Push access with received messages and for syncing your Google online contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when most people had access to a single computer and well before there were any phones in the smart phone category and well before there were any handheld cell phones.

HT3228 My Bellsouth/Yahoo mail automatically deletes from server on my iPad Mini. There is no option under Advanced to change this to "never". This does not happen on my iPhone or my Mac.

I have a new iPad mini. My Bellsouth/Yahoo mail account deletes mail from the server. There is no setting under Advanced to change delete from server. this is not a problem on my iPhone or MAC, only the iPad. It is also not a problem with my other mail accounts.

Because Airplaying to a Mac natively is not supported.
Using AirPlay
As discussed in the article, newer Macs can AirPlay to an Apple TV or Airport Express.
