iPad Mini 3 incoming mail settings - how to 'never delete from server'?

[pixellady]

Hi,

Just got the latest iPad Mini 3. If I delete an email on my iPad, it doesn't come in on my computer (Mac Mini 2009). Is there an incoming mail setting that allows you to select "Never" for "Delete from server"?

On my iPhone 5, I can delete emails and they will still come in on my computer. The setting is located here:
Settings > (my email account name) > Advanced > INCOMING MAIL SETTINGS Delete from server

Thanks so much!

Sounds like you have a POP account? Who's your email provider. There may be a setting for that at the provider. Better yet, you might be able to switch it to an IMAP account.

If using POP:

If using IMAP, deleting the message from one device will sync that change back to the server and to all your other devices as well.
