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
