Yes, i saw his respond and i understand more now. What has me confused
is how my mail server's webmail handles this. But it probably uses IMAP
for this internally. I thought it should be the same as webmail is also
a client. I have tried using IMAP in the past, but something didn't work
for me. Maybe i should give it another try.

You are asking for something that isn't supported in the POP

other).
The POP protocol supports *retrieving* mail from the server. There
is no facility for syncing a client's inbox back to the server.
You may want to look at the wikipedia entry for POP, which includes
a discussion of the differences between POP and IMAP.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Office_Protocol>
If you are in doubt about what a POP server supports (therefore what
you can ask of a POP client) try reading the RFC (protocol standards
documentation):
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1939>
If you want the ability to move messages from a client back to the
server (so a different client has access to them) you need to use
IMAP. The POP protocol simply doesn't support what you want to do.
I see that cketti has already responded to your feature request,
saying basically what I say above.

I have a rather similar request. I want to be able to move
messages from Sent to Inbox (to download them into my desktop
client later)

I'm using k9 mail on Android with a POP3 service. When I
accidentally move a message from inbox to trash, I can't move it
back to inbox. All other POP3 email clients I have used allow
this.
It should be easy because trash is all right there on the phone.
The message exists. I can see it. But k9 does not allow me to
move it.
This is a k9 issue. There is nothing in the design of Android or
the design of POP3 protocol that prevents moving a message from
trash to inbox. As I said before, I've used many POP3 clients
and they all allowed this.
Moving the message does not require any action on the server. The
message exists on the phones local storage. All we need to do is
move it from one location in local storage (trash folder) to
another location in local storage (inbox).
I have seen other users ask about this, but I have not seen any
good answer.
Does that ability exist within K9 and I'm not finding it? Or is
this feature just missing?
Thanks in advance for any response.
