Q: Deleted emails keep reappearing
I have a pop3 email account. I manually fetch emails from my PC and from my iPhone. I want all emails to eventually get loaded into Thunderbird on my PC so my settings are (a) when the PC pulls down email they are deleted from the server and (b) when the iPhone pulls down email they are not deleted from the server.
If I (a) delete all emails from my iPhone and close mail on the iPhone and then (b) pull down emails from via my PC which deletes them from the server (which I can confirm does happen as the server mailbox is empty when I login via a web email client) and then (c) reopen mail on my iPhone then the mails I deleted in step a reappear.
Why is it so?
