Email Question

AnubisZX5 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-09-2007, 10:05 PM

I have a question, when I download my email from my ISP server to my Outlook program on my PC, it disappears form the Treo on the next send/recieve cycle. This kinda sucks cause I like having my email available if I want to quickly reference something. Is there a way to stop the emails from deleting from my Treo unless I delete them myself?

If you're using POP, make sure you set the option on your desktop mail client to "leave a copy of the message on the server" or something to that effect.

i had that problem, do this:

go to start, programs, activesync, menu, configure server, next, next, highlight email and click settings, on the "include the previous" tab, click on all, then finish. thats what I had to do to fix my stuff.

That will only work if he uses Exchange. I guess we'll have to wait and see if he responds.

I had thought of leaving the message on the server, but then won't Outlook on the PC download the message multiple times when I send/recieve?

I'm guessing there's no way to jsut have the Treo set to save the email to the device rather than solely relying on what's on the server?

And I don't use Exchange, it's the POP accounts through my ISP.

In outlook you need to keep a copy on server until you delete from deleted items, otherwise OUtlook will download it and it won't be there for your Treo to download. The programs are smarther than you think, if you leave it on the server it won't download it multiple times, unless you hard reset your treo then it thinks its downloading whatevers on the server for the first time.
