How do I keep emails deleted on my S5 from being deleted on my computer?

[rcorona106]

I use Outlook at work and receive my work emails on my S5. I want to be able to delete messages on my phone but still keep them on my computer. How do I do that?

Do you know off hand if this is an exchange account? If it is, I've not discovered a way to leave messages on the server as of yet.

I am having the same problem on my new Motorola Droid Tubo. I have worked with Motorola and Verizon tech supports without any remedy. I have MSN email service.

My email account is indeed an Exchange account.

My email account is indeed an Exchange account.

Seems to be the deal breaker there.
My work email is an Exchange account, and those settings are determined by the server setup.

Being a network admin and having administered Exchange for 12 years from 5.5 to 2010 for 2500 users I can tell you that it is not an option. your email is in your trash even at work when you delete it and depending on the policies your admin has set you can even retrieve deleted items from an emptied trash can for a period of time if needed.

If there is such a server setting I have never seen it. But no one at my org has ever asked for what your asking either.

I have a similar issue....have always had my work email on an android based phone....work switched to G5 phones...now mail does not stay on phone once MS Office is opened on desktop. This is true of 10 other phones all switched to G5......

We want to be able to keep emails on the phone, and delete as we wish. Perhaps this is a simple fix, but I'm stumped....I've not had this issue in the past.

If desktop MS Office is closed we receive our emails...if open, we receive none on the G5 and those you do receive disappear when you open MS Office.

Can anyone help me??

Is this a MS Exchange / Corporate account or a POP3 account?
