Options for deleting emails...

I moved over to the Pro from a Blackberry and I was wondering if there was an option similar to the Blackberry when it comes to deleting emails. With the BB you could choose (when viewing each message) to delete the email from the device or from the device and the server. Is that possible with the Pro? I was having trouble trying to figure out how to best search for that but I did try and didn't see anything similar.

Thanks!

I do not know what your email client is. As far as internet email like hotmail,yahoo and such there is no delete option PER EMAIL that lets you decide whether to delete of off the server or not. But you definitely can manipulate the over all option by logging on to your email account on your pc and making the determination there,i.e you can log on to your gmail /settings/imap or pop/select delete off the server or not and this setting swill aplly to all.

It is possible but not from the message I believe. If you go into that email clients settings, under send/receive schedule and then advanced settings you can choose which option you want. Besides that I'm not sure.

Yeah unfortunately I don't see a way to do it except to go into the settings each time. I just like to free up the inbox throughout the day and have the option to leave some messages on the server while permanently deleting others...especially spam.
