    Hi All
    i have my iphone set up to check my Eircom emails. HOwever once I've checked it using my iPhone it no longer shows up when I log into Eircom maill using my PC.

    I'm pretty sure its just a button I need to tick....but can't for the life of me figure out how to change this setting!!

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks
    :confused:

    Into settings, mail, pick your account, then into advanced and there's an option at the bottom called delete
    from server and set that to never

    Just regarding changing it to never, make sure you log into the webmail account once in a while and delete the mails, else it will fill up entirely. Either that, or have the setting to delete after certain number of days, or when it is deleted on the iphone.

    I only say that because eircom's email is phenomenally unsafe. More often than not, they turn up in other peoples spam filters because they're so unsecure. A nightmare of an email system.

    If the user is using an iPhone to check their mail, and they'll be doing that a lot because it's always with them, forwarding their mail to a gmail account means a much easier setup and retrieval process. Also a better reading experience as ios4 will take advantage of gmails threaded mail feature.

    Also, just in general, gmail is just an unbelievably far superior email account.

    Also, eircom's email accounts may not be around 9 months from now...
