activesync should update your normal outlook unless you delete the mails from your xda
though personaly i set my xda to leave the mails on the server so i can still get to them without using activesync

I have my emails from my pc in the ActiveSync folder on my xda2. If i delete an email in this folder when i sync next it puts this email back on the phone.
How do i select to leave the message on the server from the xda?
thanks

to tell you the truth then i dont know how to turn it off it's not something i choose it just does it or in this case it just dont do it
as in delete the mails from the server
about moving a mail from the pop3 mail box to the activesync hhmmm now thats a good question not sure right now

i just had a play around and discovered that the message is automatically left on the server, which is good and bad, since ive got an email address just for my xda (not that its much point...just got loads of pop3 accounts to use up and couldnt resist)

well most mail box's got a www interface aswell as a pop3 one
so if your xda mail addy also got a www interface then you could use that to empty the mail box
also does it download the same mails all over if you connect again ?
and does it also do it if the mail is deleted ?

ok now im confused.
1)
Sent email to address
Recieved email on xda
Download full email body
Deleted email on xda
Checked email on xda...didnt recieve again
Checked email in outlook didnt recieve email
2)
Sent email to address
Recieved email on xda
Didnt download full body
Didnt delete email on xda
Checked email in outlook, recieved the email
Check email on xda, xda removed the email in the inbox
3)
Sent email to address
Recieved email on xda
Downloaded full email body
Didnt delete email on xda
Checked email in outlook, recieve email
Email deleted on xda when send/recieve done again
4)
Sent email to address
Recieved email on xda
Download full email body
moved email to another folder (not inbox)
check email in outlook, recieved email
Email remained in ther other folder when sebd/recieve redone
note, activesync was sync while i was testing.
The only way it seems, to keep an email on the phone after youve downloaded it in outlook (if this email is not your synched address) is to copy that email to another folder.
Maybe a thirdparty email app would be better than the built in program. Could be a project for me to do, tho im sure theres plenty out there
