Leaving emails on the server

Is there any way to leave my emails on the server so that if I read them on the iPhone 3 GS I can still download them later on my computer using Windows Live mail? There are two accounts I want to be able to do this for - one is IMAP, the other POP.
Thanks

IMAP accounts ALWAYS leave emails on the server - what you see on the phone/device is a mirror of what's on the server.
POP accounts are not designed for multple cliets.  Some POP servers can be configured to keep a copy of the email on the server after being dowloaded to a client, but then you risk redowloading deleted email as deleting occurs only on the client device. Not all POP servers can be configured to do this.

    Follow these directions, but pay attention to comment 1 regarding drafts. Best instructions I've seen on how to set gmail up as IMAP.

  • How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

    How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
    Pop account

    Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.

    IMAP email is server based. All messages remain on the server and are viewed remotely when using an email client like Thunderbird. If you delete the message from a remote device it is removed from the server.

  • How to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

    how to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

    If this is a POP mail account:
    Settings > Mail.... > Your account > Advanced > Delete from server > Never.
    However, this will risk re-downloading as new mail
    IMAC  accounts mirror what's on the phone in the server, so deleting from the inbox on the phone will either send it to the trans folder on the server or leave it in the inbox but marked as deleted (depending on the server)
    Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone Trash

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

  • Mail Mac has deleted all my emails from the server..how to get them back?

    Mistakenly, I've changed the options in Mail app in Mac, which says "Remove copy from server after retrieving a massage" Immediately, and it deleted all my emails from the server. Is there anyway to return all my 3000 emails back to the server? cuz I want to access them from anywhere :S it's a hotmail account.

    You can create a new IMAP account in Apple Mail, and move all the messages to the IMAP folders. They are synced with the server.
    I don't know if hotmail supports imap though, I would prefer Gmail.

    I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?

    Hello Stern snapper
    If you are having issues with receiving email on your iPad, then check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue. You may just need to remove the email account and add it back in.

  • Mail downoading old emails from the server

    I have a SBC/Yahoo/ATT/?? account that has been working fine. It was updated to their new secruity and pop server settings a couple of months ago. Since then, I have been prompted several times to re-enter the password when doing send/receive. That was ok, just annoying at times.
    This weekend I opened up mail and it downloaded every email from the server (as if they were new)! I had certain emails set to redirect to my office, and so my office email got filled with redirected messages. It did not delete my messages from the server, but now I have duplicate/triplicate emails on my desktop. What happened and how do I prevent this from occuring again?!
    Please help.

    This is a POP account, right? What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
