    If your phone won't send emails most likely you did not enter your username and passcode for your mail account a second time, for the outgoing mail server.

     

    Deleted emails coming back is a more complex problem. This will occur if a mail fetch on a POP3 account is not closed properly. This can happen if you attempt to read email before it finishes coming in. When you open the email app wait until all email arrives before reading and deleting it. The phone will beep when the retrieval is finished.
