  1. does Mail leave deleted messages on the server?


    Have a new Surface pro 7 and have set up old IMAP email accts from local isp, not outlook in Mail. Don't see a setting about leaving deleted emails on the server or not. Thunderbird on my desktop lets me move deleted messages to trash folder. Email app on my Android phone lets me choose 'never' for removing deleted emails from server. Can't find the setting in Win10 mail on the Surface. Does that setting exist? And if not, does Mail remove locally deleted emails from the server? Thanks for any advice.

    :)

    How to leave messages on server using Mail App pop account


    I have the Windows Mail App on one of my 3 machines. The other to use Outlook 2016. Under Mail App (pop3 accounts) when I delete a message it removes it from the Cox server. Neither of the 2 Outlook machines can find the message and Cox Webmail does not show it.

    Is there a setting that will make the Mail App leave it on the server as Outlook does?

    Thank you.
