win xp sp3 / android 2.3.5
have just started using an android tablet (samsung)
there are hundreds of emails on my samsung android, which have long been
deleted on the desktop
after some reading and research, I assumed it was a matter of syncing
the tablet with the desktop. ( as an aside, don't know why mozilla
refers back to firefox with instructions for SM). sync was done on both
sides, at least that's the message I got
but after the sync.. all the messages were still there, tried to some
other things but nothing worked.
I then checked my ISP Inbox (directly) and the same hundreds of messages
were there as well. I deleted them all, and subsequently all the emails
on the tablet also disappeared
I remembered something about server settings and messages, so I
proceeded to SERVER SETTINGS and unchecked LEAVE MESSAGES ON SERVER box
will UNchecking this box hopefully resolve my situation where my tablet
is retaining all my emails ??
In olden days, when it was just computers downloading e-mails from an
ISP, it was advised that if more than one computer was downloading from
the same account, then one computer should be set-up to download &
remove the e-mails from the ISP's server. Any other computers (laptops,
etc) should be set up to download but leave the emails on the ISP's
server. In SeaMonkey on a computer, that would be Edit->Mail & Newsgroup
Account Settings, select "Server Settings" for your e-mail account and,
in roughly the middle of the screen, under "Server Settings" tick "Leave
messages on server".
Don't know if tablet versions of SM have a similar setting!!
HTH!
