Alright, I looked through the forum and didn't find the answer to my issue. I read my Hotmail email on both a PC through a web browser and my iPhone 3GS. I haven't had any problems with this setup until about a month ago.

When I delete my email from the iPhone, its deleted when I go to Hotmail on a PC through a web browser. However, when I delete email via Hotmail's web client, it doesn't delete on my iPhone. I've setup my Hotmail on my iPhone through the Activesync option (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account ... > Microsoft Hotmail. So it's not POP or IMAP. I would expect this type of behavior if it was setup as POP. There's no option to setup as IMAP. Activesync should act like IMAP, but it apparently is not.

Because it was working and not it's not, I'm wondering whether something else has changed. Either Hotmail has changed their service, Activesync is not functioning as it should, or an iPhone update has changed some setting.

So, does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?
