can't delete email from iphone

has anyone noticed problems in the last 30 days an inability to delete email from the phone? I have rebuilt mailboxes to make sure I didn't have some weird sync feature clicked and it's not working. Very annoying.

iPhone 4, Windows XP

More info needed.

MSExchange? Gmail? Yahoo? Work Exchange issue?

Detail as much as possible including what you've already done so we're not repeating stuff.

Both on my yahoo account and on MS Exchange. I checked my sync options, deleted accounts. They load emails fine, but I can't delete them from the phone. I'm having a similar issue with calendar items not showing up on one or the other in MS Exchange.

I've checked my sync options, but as you know, iphones don't have a ton of settings that need to be tweeked. i had 'sync all' messages and changed it to 'last 2 weeks' and no difference.

Because you're having problems with both Yahoo IMAP and MS Exchange, also with the Calendar sync too, I would imagine it to be a problem with your iPhone and not a server side problem.

Have you tried defaulting the iPhone to factory defaults? (Backup data beforehand!)

I downloaded the 4.1 software and the calendar and both emails are working now.
