Comcast/Xfinity is setup as IMAP, I guess I need to find a different email 
client for my phone.  I never noticed that I was getting emails on my phone 
that were being deleted from the server until recently. In the past I 
thought I was also getting them later when I went to Outlook on my desktop. 
It seemed I was getting them on both devices.
My bad for not noticing this a long time ago.
Thanks
