Hi, I highly recommend you have everything set up with imap. This means
your computer, your iPhone, and anything else. This way, no matter which
device you use, the inbox and labels, called folders, will always be the
same.

I need some help thinking through how I will set up my iPhone's email
settings after I get it. I have a Gmail account and will more than
likely use my computer to read 90% of my email but I want the option to
check email on the iPhone while I'm away from the computer. Here is the
applicable information:
1. I have my Gmail account on the web set up with both IMAP and POP
enabled.
2. I have my Outlook email client used on the computer set up to
download via POP all my Gmail messages which are then moved on the
Gmail server out of the inbox into the All Mail folder. In other
words, I can access all my Gmail messages via the web interface
since none are ever deleted.
3. I want to set up my iPhone email to access my Gmail account so I can
read any messages in the inbox while away from the computer but not
to delete them from the Gmail servers.
Here are my questions:
1. If I check messages in my Gmail inbox with the iPhone, are these
messages actually downloaded to the phone not unlike how they are
downloaded to my computer in Outlook or does this depend on some
iPhone email setting?
2. If I'm able to view the messages with my iPhone as I do with the
computer using the web interface, I assume I could use the iPhone to
move them into the All Mail folder via IMAP to retain all the
messages on the Gmail servers and also to avoid having messages I've
already reviewed again downloaded to my computer's Outlook client
via POP.
I know this question is primarily procedural but any help in explaining
how mail is treated on the iPhone and helping me accomplish my goal will
be greatly appreciated.
