How do I stop emails deleted from server being removed from my inbox

Sorry to not have got back to you before but due to personal pressures have not been able to look at the iPad for a couple of days.

I do not know if the App is set to use POP3 or IMAP I cant see what protocol is being used in the settings. The App is the standard App that comes with the iPad. I would be grateful if you could tell me how to setup the account for POP3 which is what my Email Service Provider requires. I would be happy to use another (Free) iPad client App if such a one exists.

This issue did not happen when I originally set up this email account on the iPad. I only deleted the account to clear the space on my iPad that the App was taking. It seems that when emails were individually erased the iPad did not release space back to the system, especially attachments.

I hope you can help

Kind regards

Very many thanks.

I have set up a POP email account using the methods you kindly advised.

I managed to set the incoming POP 3 server port to my SP's port number of 110 but can't find how to set up the outgoing SMTP server port to 1025. How do I do this please? Or can I just take the default which has been setup for me?

On the "Advanced" tab of the settings is where one can setup the Incoming Server Port but there are no options for the Outgoing Server ports.

Thanks and kind regards

Once again sorry for not getting back sooner but have been unable to get access to my iPad since your reply.

Anyway, I changed the SMTP outgoing server port address as you advised and all OK.

Many thanks for all yoir help in this matter.

Kind regards

Fun? I find Apple and IoS a bit of a struggle although I have been in IT since the early 60s and mainly concentrated on large mainframe systems and latterly Unix and MS, both to a Sysadmin level, IoS passed me by before I retired. Without the internet and support communities like this it would be impossible.

Once again, many thanks and kind regards

Last October/November you helped me with a problem on our iPad Email. You said in one replt to "Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts. Select Create New Account, choose Other, and use a false name for the email, say fred@bogus.net. Apple doesn't know how to configure bogus.net, so it gives you the choice of IMAP or POP. You can then enter the correct details in that window and continue to complete setup."

Well .did all you suggested and everything seemed to be in order. However, just noticed that when replying to an email on the iPad in the "Cc/Bcc, From:" field on the outgoing email form it has an entry fred@bogus.net. Is there something I omitted to do or is this normal and I should just ignore. By the way, it does not seem to happen with all emails being replied to.

Your comments will be most welcome.

Kind regards

Thanks for contacting me. Sorry not to have replied earlier but found the email notifying me of your reply in my ISP's online Spam/Junk mailbox when I was looking for another email a sender said he had sent me. I will look at what you suggest later today.

Kind regards
