Hello all,
I had a quick question and no way to figure out an answer to this. Prior to doing the most recent HTC Evo 4G update, I had my mail app (default one that comes with Android) setup so that it would check my POP3 email account and download mail to the phone. I would do this by shutting down Outlook on my work PC so that email would reside on the POP3 server/account.
But once I got home I would start up Outlook and it would physically download and remove those emails from the POP3 account. At the same time, the mail app on the phone would then remove the exact same emails from the inbox on my phone as it was syncing up with the POP server.
This was a PERFECT setup for me since I don't have an Exchange server/account at my office. This way I didn't have to manually delete all emails from my phone but they would 'disappear' as the mail was removed from the server.
Now... it has changed. After the update, mail stays on the phone even after it's deleted from the POP3 account and downloaded to Outlook. This leaves me to manually delete the email on the phone which at times, I just don't have time to do and would like to have it working like it was.
I have deleted and re-recreated the account to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas on why this isn't working at all? Has anyone else seen it? Or did some OS level feature get reset and I have to make a change somewhere outside the mail app in the OS?
Thanks
Bradley
