Sounds like it is just loading the emails from your account into your phone?

Who is your email provider and how do you have it set up? POP, IMAP, Exchange?

Certain email providers will only allow you to pull emails down by will not necessarily sync back up. Essentially, you can read the emails on your device but it is still staying unread in your email client.

Hi thanks for the reply

It's a hotmail and it is set to pop3 live server . I've got the delete email from server when I delete from inbox setting on the incoming message settings

Set up as exchange. m.hotmail.com for both hotmail.com and outlook.com (use ssl)

Setting hotmail up as an exchange account is asking for trouble. Many reports around the forum about using none exchange accounts with the exchange setup. Please keep in mind this might work for one user but not for another. You need to go to your hotmail account and setting and make sure you turn off the setting for leave mail on server. That is what you keep seeing over and over.

I only use the hotmail exchange setup way (I hate the samsung email app and use enhanced email, the best but $10)

I have never had any problems with my hotmail set up this way, but I do have problems with hotmail set up as a pop account.

Now I use my hotmail email for personal and work, I send large files, and receive many in a day, the only problem I get and this is with all phones including the iphone, is in very weak signal areas, if I delete a message, sometimes it does not get deleted on the hotmail server and when I log in with a computer I just delete it, no big deal and only in very poor signal areas.

here is a setup guide for the exchange way
