I still can't understand it. I have looked at everything, advanced ,too, looked at the delete from server, but I don't want them deleted before they get into my iPhone. I want to read them first. So, after they are in my iPhone, I don't see how " delete from server" will do the trick. I do the "delete from server" with my account on my mac already, but I have had no luck with my iPhone. My computer is easy to handle with all mail accounts. It is just the iPhone and my insight account after my mail is in there, that gives me no choice than delete one by one.

If you want the retrieved email messages deleted from the server (e.g.,
insightbb.com) from your iPhone, you have to set that in the account
information (Settings>Mail>the account>Advanced>Incoming Settings>Delete from Server). Likewise in Mail or Entourage, although different menus to get there. In Mail on your Mac, you go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, then click on the account you are making a setting for (left column), then click
on Mailbox Behaviors--there, you'll see the options you need.

Also, what difference does it make on the iPhone?  The newer emails
automatically replace the older ones, so you end up with the 25 most recent ones (or more, if you set it that way). If want to delete an email or a text message conversation, on the list of them you can just wipe your finger across it quickly and a red "delete" button pops up. Press it and you're
done.  Couldn't be easier.
