Default E-Mail application

Is there an e-mail application that has an option to leave the e-mail to the server? I mean not to delete them? Like Outlook Express has as an option?

Use an IMAP server - this leaves the messages on there unless you delete them and then synchronise on your device.

Also, you can leave them on the server whilst using the Pop3 protocol - it should be something like "delete messages immediately" - make sure this isnt ticked and it should work.

Are you serious? The standard email application doesn't have an option to leave email on the server for POP3?

The inbox for Pop3 does not delete messages. It defaults to leaving it on the server. Unless of course you delete it and resync.

To tell the truth I haven't set up an e-mail account yet because I have a problem with the sim card.. But since there was no option about leaving messages on server I assumed it didn't!!! So, am I wrong? :roll:

Default No problem

If you are using Pocket PC Outlook (Inbox), you don't have any problem: it does not retrieve the messages from the server anyway.

Try WebIS Mail - I've used it for months now and find it really good. As an additional bonus, it's available free right now from Handango:
