Re: Stoopid iPhone
It really depends on how the pop server is configured. Some delete emails, some don't. Some let you choose. gmail, is one that lets you choose to "delete"* downloaded emails, if your client tells it to. *"Delete in Google terms means they disappear from your on line inbox, but like the FBI, Google has infinite storage space, so they have an archive backup that's not available to the user, just in case... That's just company policy, they are after all in the information business. On 1/15/2019 1:04 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: Eric, I have a POP connection and use Thunderbird.

Re: Stoopid iPhone
Sheesh, John. This is pretty simple stuff. You don't want an email account on your iPhone?

Re: Stoopid iPhone
That's part of it. Earthlink is not my ISP. It's an email only account that I signed up for several years ago when Time-Warner's email servers went down for several months. Time-Warner's "support" told me I wasn't paying for email, it was just a bonus Time-Warner *gave* me out of their corporate generosity and as such it didn't matter if they ever got the email server back on line because I wasn't being deprived of any service I was paying for. I escalated my complaint as high as I could, but never reached a level where the person I was talking to was able to understand that NOT HAVING email service was indeed a problem. Unable to reach through the phone-line and dope slap the idiot assholes I was having to deal with, I got a non-Time-Warner email only account and put myself on the waiting list for Google Fiber. The other part of it is I don't want to use the iPhone for email. I have perfectly good computers that handle email just fine. I bought the iPhone to run *GasBuddy* and *The Photographer's Ephemeris* and maybe *PhotoPills*. On 1/15/2019 13:04:39, ann sanfedele wrote: Eric, I have a POP connection and use Thunderbird.

Re: Stoopid iPhone
You might have better luck at the Apple Genius bar. If your phone is still under warranty it should be free, and their techs can usually solve any problem.
