[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 6198140, member: 31216"] I have home Internet (and email) through AT&T. Until last month, I had Internet/email through TWC. The following situation started since the switch to AT&T. I have an iPhone with AT&T service. This has been the service I've had for years. Yesterday I tried to get the below issue fixed through AT&T's technical support, but the agent didn't seem to understand my angle. I'm going to take my phone to the Apple store this afternoon in hopes they can solve this, but I thought it would be helpful for me to ask around here, for two reasons: 1- Explaining it here might help me better explain it in person. If y'all understand me, then maybe the tech will understand me. 2- Maybe someone here can tell me what to do and save me a trip to the local Apple store. I usually check my email through my iPhone. When I get home in the evenings, I check it again on my home computer (with Outlook). On my home computer, I can save emails to certain folders for future reference, or I can delete them as unneeded. I sometimes like/need to keep some emails on my iPhone for reference, even after I've checked it on my home computer. I had my home computer/Outlook set up to delete messages from the server when I checked my email. This hadn't caused me any problems until this recent switch from TWC to AT&T. Here's what I used to could do: Emails came to my iPhone during the day, and stayed on my phone until I intentionally deleted it. When I got home in the evening and checked my email on my home computer/Outlook, the message would be deleted from the server. But the message would still be on my iPhone as well as my computer. So I could have an email message on both my phone and on my home computer even though it was deleted from the server. No muss, no fuss. I like this. Now though, I'll get email to my iPhone during the day. When I get home and check through Outlook, and the message is deleted from the server, it also deletes it from my iPhone. Obviously, what happens is when my iPhone checks for email, it shows me what's on the server. If there's nothing on the server, my phone shows nothing -- even if it was showing a mail a moment before. A mail that was showing on my phone a moment before will disappear right before my eyes. It doesn't go to trash, it just vanishes. That's not what used to happen. I know I can set my home computer Outlook to not delete from the server when it checks. And I have now set this. Now it will only delete from the server when I delete from Outlook. But that means that if I want to keep an email on my phone, even if I don't want/need it on my computer, I can't delete it from my computer. Again, this is something new that didn't work this way a month ago. I'm thinking there must be some setting in my iPhone that I've done differently when setting up my new AT&T email account that wasn't so for my old TWC email account. But I can't tell what. Any ideas? Thanks, Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
