Hey guys!
I have an iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1. I noticed a couple of days ago that everytime I open the Mail app the emails are redownloaded... It's like the email accounts are empty and the phone downloads the emails... It's really annoying... It started all of the sudden.
I tried to delete my email accounts, restart the iPhone... But the same weird thing happens...
Any ideas?
 
"Yahoo" is not what I meant by "type of e-mail account," so I probably should have been more clear. Are they POP(3) or IMAP accounts?

I've added the accounts through Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Account... and I have no idea what kind of accounts are: pop3 or imap...
But after reading a little on Google it seems that iPhone uses IMAP to download emails from Yahoo ...

And now I notice that from my Hotmail account if I delete emails they just keep coming back!
I even went on my account from my pc deleted all emails... But they redownload on my iPhone...
Hotmail is pop3 account...

What the heck?

And I'm not the only one with this problem:
