Eircom Email - Viewing online vs. downloading to Outlook Inbox

    Sometimes I check my Eircom email online via my iPhone.

    I've noticed that if I do this - i.e. if I open the email on my phone to read it - it doesn't then download later to my Outlook Inbox.

    Or should it?

    Thanks.

    D.

    Ok.

    Worked it out.

    But, when I go to settings in Outlook it says, Server Type POP3 and POP3 is greyed out - I don't seem to be able to change it, or can I?

    Thanks.

    Eircom seem only to download unread messages. There does not seem to be anywhere when on web mail to mark them as unread.

    If I've viewed one online that I want in my in box I just forward it to another of my email accounts. I haven't tried sending them to the same account I'll try that.

    Edit Yes you can just forward them to the same email address and Outlook will download them.

    Hi,

    This problem seems an Outcome of bad synchronization between Outlook and Smartphone. It is better to fix this setting issue as soon possible to remove your existing problem.
