Outlook 2010 and multiple email accounts

[Simon]

I leave POP mail on the server until it is deleted or moved from the inbox. This allows viewing by IMAP I.e iPhone. Likewise IMAP is used for viewing and deletion prior to download via POP

I only receive POP mail on one machine and the rest is IMAP

Oddly, perhaps, I find that even if I delete mail on the phone, it still seems to stay sitting on the server, as it's still there on MailWasher when I log onto the PC.

I thought the idea of IMAP was to keep the client and server in sync , although the deleted will remain until purged from the deleted mail box

[Simon]

That's the principal as I understood it, Steve, which is why it's weird that emails deleted on the phone, still pop up in MailWasher.  That said, MailWasher is checking the POP server - maybe that's the difference?

Got 2010 for £39 being a student

I got mine for £40 & can install on 2 pc's

I'm a student, Honest!

I'm the Taid (Grandfather) of a 8 year old student so I was able to buy mine for £40 and all above board.

Is it on your iPhone? Mine (albeit over pop3 with leave on server enabled) has a setting to only delete from the server when it is removed from my iPhone trash folder. This itself is set to delete items over two days old. Therefore, the email wouldn't in my case be deleted from the sever until two days after I've deleted from the phone's inbox.

I'm guessing that IMAP settings may be different though.

[Simon]

Maybe I'm imagining things, Lance.  I'll try to double check it while I'm at work tomorrow.  Yes, the iPhone is set up for IMAP, so that I can save emails sent from the iPhone, onto the computer, by moving them from the IMAP Sent folder to the corresponding POP Sent folder, for each email account.  I have to admit, I can't see how mail that's been 'deleted' on the phone, can still appear in the POP inbox, when checked with MailWasher, but I'm sure that's what happened with the Windows Mobile phone I was using up to a few days ago, as I do get some regular, not spam, but unwanted, emails that I automatically delete on the phone, then have to delete again with MW.

Still on IMAP at the moment and the problem has come to light again

I have the inboxes for the various accounts set as favourites at the top

After send/receive I still have to click the inbox for it to show any new mail (basically it doesnt say "Inbox (5)" for 5 new emails...just "Inbox" - if i click it - then it shows "Inbox (5)")

maybe i do just need to pop3...but IMAP is great from what I can see! why is it doing this 

[Simon]

Have you checked the subscriptions on all of the Inboxes?

[Steve]

Is IDLE enabled automatically on 2010 (sorry don't use it) otherwise you'll only see new mail when sync or open the Inbox and request information from the server

[mrapoc]

How would I do both of these? 

thanks

[Steve]

IDLE is part of the process on the client that tells the server it can PUSH mail to a waiting client. As I said I don't use Outlook but I would think there must be some tick boxes somewhere in the account setup to that effect.

[Simon]

I don't use Outlook either, sorry, but try right clicking the Inbox of each account and see if there are any sync options.
