gmail and pop email question

[lewdog50]

Have searched the threads , but I have not found an answer yet.

I just started routing my email addresses through gmail to make use of their spam filters as they work better than the ones on my email server.

I have configured the pop3 access on my phone to download my email from gmail, no problems there.


My problem is when the phone checks the gmail server for new email, it clears all of the email that was in my inbox on the phone.

I have gone through the settings on the phone many times looking for anything I might have screwed up during the set-up process.

I know IMAP might be the better option for me, but to me this problem is werid and would like to solve it.

Any help would be great.
