Please help...
First off the phone doesn't contain a server. It's a client and it isn't a very good one. The server is located wherever you get your email from and it all depends on the type of server you're connected to. Basically there are two different types, IMAP and POP. With IMAP messages stay on the server and you just read what's on the server. When you delete messages from the client it deletes them on the server. With POP you pull messages off the server and they're physically located in the client. I'm using POP servers but this email client doesn't act like it's connecting to a POP server. It acts more like IMAP.

I too had problems deleting emails until I heard someone say not to delete them. I deleted my account and recreated it. Messages started showing up and I left them there, but when I checked my mail from my home computer (it's set to delete them from the server) messages on the phone disappear. They're not in the inbox and not in the trash.

It sounds like you have another email client running somewhere that is also checking your email and when it pulls them off the server they disappear from the phone. But it would help to know if you're using POP or IMAP.
