Gmail on Samsung Galaxy S3 - urgent help needed

[Luke300586]

Hi all,

I recently got a samsung galaxy S3 upgrading from an iPhone 4S, i know how to add my google/Gmail account ok.

The problem is with my Gmail- when i delete an email of my phone it deletes of Gmail on my pc inbox aswell

On my iphone i had it set up as POP i think, when i deleted a email of my phone it stayed on Gmail server on my pc as a unread new email

How can i do this on my S3 ive tried loads of times and also changing the settings on gmail on my but im getting really confused
thanks in advance

I believe that is a "feature" of the gmail app. I think you have 2 choices, you could shorten the sync days in setting to 1 and then only delete email older than 1 day, but I think a better alternative is to change email apps. I use MailDroid and I believe it is better than the gmail app and it give you the choice of deleting locally only.

Will the email app you mentioned still let me sign on to google play?

Any email app will not inpact anything to do with Google Play
