deleting email

[jnine1271]

Is there any way to delete emails from the Droid X handheld and not on the email server?

There is not a setting on the Droid X that will allow you to delete an email from your phone only. It will delete the email from the server as well.

Are you serious???? WOW, Motorola really blew it if that is the case. I always keep my messages on the server to take care of when I log in on my PC.

On mine, I delete the emails from the cell but they do not delete on the server and i prefer they delete on server also..

Yes.  I wonder if you have a setting off?  When I hit delete on the X, my emails are still on my earthlink server so that I can still get them on my PC for follow up.  That is the way I prefer doing it.  But yes, dig around in the settings...I thought there was a setting for "don't delete from server".

I have my mail at work synced with Outlook 2007 and when I delete e-mail on my phone, it moves it to the deleted items folder in Outlook, so they are not permanently removed.

Thanks for your personal experiences everyone.

I have my hotmail account synced, but I can't find a setting to delete on the server when deleted on my X.  The original Motorola Droid had that setting.  Am I missing something?

No you are not missing anything.  There is no setting that deletes the e-mail off of the server when you delete it on your phone.

Does Verizon intend to add the "delete on server" feature to the droidx?  When i return from a week trip I dont want to have to go through 500 emails on Outlook if I have already read and replied on my droidx
