would apple please stop taking options away from us: iPhone deleted emails from server

I just discovered that my iPhone deletes emails on the server when I kill them on the phone – regardless of what I want to do with them. This is a nuisance and an insult.

I don't want Apple doing my thinking for me. I signed up for a service, not a lobotomy.

This is disgraceful and should be amended at once.

Nonsense. We used have the option of not deleting. And we also used to be able to change IMAP to POP. Now we have no choice but to sync everything.

You clearly don't understand what you're speaking about. You can blame Apple all you want, but Apple has nothing to do with the type of account your email provider uses. If you're not happy with your email provider, complain to them.
