Cant leave email on server ?? charge returned

Other apps to suggest are Maildroid and K-9. Both 3rd party email apps.

As for POP3 emails being deleted off the server and not your phone, just log into your POP3 email providers web mail site and change the setting to leave the emails on the server for X amount of days.

In my case I logged onto Verizon's webmail, and changed the server settings to keep all emails, regardless of status (read, filed, deleted) on the server for 4 days.

As for POP3, look folks some people do not want to migrate for any reason. They may want local control of their address books. They may not want to have to tell 300 people to start to use a new email address for them. POP3 still works and works well.

Since you're using POP3, your options are going to be limited. You would have a lot more flexibility with an IMAP GMail account. Exchange not required. Plus, GMail is free.

From what you describe, a simple change in methodology would serve you better.

Instead of deleting the email from your phone after you've read it, why not just file it in a folder/label for review later when at home? You can move it from your Inbox (if you don't want to "see" it on the phone) and then review it from your desktop when you get home. It's everything you say you want, but without having to delete anything.

Google calls GMail folders "labels", because you can actually have an email "labeled" in multiple folders at once without making multiple copies of the same email. If you use the GMail app on your phone it's really easy. After you finish reading an email on your phone, simply hit MENU and choose CHANGE LABELS. Then uncheck "Inbox" and put a check next to your "Review Later" label (or whatever folder label you decide to call it). That will hide it from your Inbox and put it in the "Review Later" folder. Then you can go into GMail when you get home and re-read/review everything in your "Review Later" folder, and then do whatever housekeeping you want with it from your desktop.

The point is, POP3 is an ancient email protocol that isn't very good for sophisticated email management. Try GMail. It even allows you to funnel POP3 accounts to your GMail account so that everything is centralized.

Agreed. Most of my email accounts were already set up as IMAP, but I've converted a few of the straggling POP3 accounts to IMAP now that I've got a smartphone and access my email from both my phone and PC. IMAP folders let me access messages I want to save from any of my connected devices.

Same issue, returned my Charge after 2 days of total frustration. Too many "work-arounds" for something a Blackberry does automatially. The droid won't sync directly with Outlook either! (only if you have Outlook on an Exchange Server with Touchdown but not a single user tether connection).
What were these folks thinking?

For POP3 Accounts, if you "Manually" set it up, there are options to set up Email check frequency(Never, Every 5 mins,10,15,30, hour, 4 hours, Once a day) options to "Delete email from server", Options to have different user/password for incoming and outgoing servers...
