    I've been using my gmail account on iPhone since I got it a few months ago and everythings is fine, if I delete a mail on my phone, its gone when I log online on my laptop and vice versa. However, I recently set up a second email account on my iPhone (hotmail) and its not syncing like the gmail...i.e. when i delete a message on my phone, its still there when i log online and vice versa...is there a setting I should set specifically for this. I cant see why cos i used default settings just like the gmail account and it works fine for that. maybe its just hotmail?? Or is it because its a second email account on the phone?

    There are two main email protocols in use today, POP3 and IMAP.

    POP3 is the simplest it just fetches new mail from the server and every email application looks after it's own folders. IMAP will allow you to synchronise your folders across multiple applications/platforms.

    Unfortunately Hotmail does not provide IMAP unless you buy a premium account.

    What you can do is set Gmail to retrieve all your email from hotmail and to put them in a specific folder in your Gmail inbox and then use gmail as an email client.
