When I got the iPhone, the guy at Verizon set it up so that it was linked
to my earthlink email address. Unfortunately, whenever it connects to wi-fi
(or to my Ethernet at home) it downloads mail to the iPhone, but anything
it downloads to the iPhone doesn't come to my inbox on this computer.
I left it hooked up overnight while it updated iOS and it downloaded 76
email messages from Earthlink. Took a quick glance at the inbox and then
over to this computer to see which ones went there instead of here, then
back to the inbox to see if there was some way to forward them ...
But when I got back to the inbox on the iPhone, *NOW* it says it's empty. I
don't know where the messages went. They're just gone.
Do you know what kind of email account you have, i.e., POP or IMAP? If POP,
after messages are downloaded to a device they are deleted from the server,
and this are not available to other devices. IMAP synchronizes mailboxes
between devices.
It's a POP server. Not that it matters.
I don't want the email going to the iPhone whether they stay on the server or
synchronize or whatever. I want my email to come to this computer or to my
laptop when I'm traveling.
