There are several posts about this, but I am still confuses...

I have two e-mail accounts on my Mail app- a comcast and a Gmail.
The comcast e-mail allows me to delete a message on the phone but keep it on the server (I can still access it on my computer later).
This is what I want.

The Gmail, however, deletes it on the server when I delete it on the phone. I have tried going through settings into the "advanced" menu, but that's not working (from what I can gather, it's because I'm on an IMAP sever instead of POP.)

I would really like to be able to delete messages on my phone but access them later on my computer.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
 
POP3 & IMAP can offer so many confusing options - you might need to 'experiment' a little w/ your account on Gmail - enter your account there and then go into 'Settings' and look @ the POP & IMAP options - there is a POP choice that will leave a copy of your inbox mail on the Gmail server - see what is checked in your settings - good luck! :)
 
It's true that eBay strives to make its site as user friendly as possible. There are pages upon pages of help topics with extensive and comprehensive answers to nearly any question you could have regarding the use of eBay.

Ummm?
