How do I stop my S6 from deleting emails from the Comcast server when deleted from device?

[AC Question]

how to stop s6 from deleting emails from comcast server when deleted from device.

When this happens, it never makes it to my outlook on PC, which is where I address my email.

Most fixes will say go to settings on "incoming mail" and check "never" delete from server, S6 does NOT have this option. Is there anyone out there that knows how to fix this??

Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like you're using the POP3 server. I suggest changing to the IMAP server, which syncs with the mail server, instead of physically downloading the emails and then deleting them on the server. You probably have to remove the Comcast email account from the email app, then add it back, this time choosing Manual Setup. Use these settings for the IMAP server: Using Email Client Programs with Comcast Email

Use K9 email, a free app. It has the option to never delete from server plus lots of other goodies that the default email app doesn't have.

B. Diddy is right. Switch over to IMAP and your problem should be solved
