Please log in for more thread options All valid information, but regarding your last point:
"WM6 is working as designed which is that when you download and delete the
messages off the POP3 server (e.g. you download the emails to Outlook at
work/home), then it deletes the copies off your mobile. Some people don't
like this but I think it's a good way to work. It means that you don't have
to delete your email from both your mobile and main email PC. If you want to
keep an email, simply move it into another folder."
On my WM6 (and WM5) Smartphones, there is no way to create a new folder to
which the mail can be moved if I want to keep it. It would be nice if I
could make a saved messages folder, but the best I can do is moved a message
to the Sent Items folder if I want to keep them.
>> Another point is when set up, user name read "recent: XXX@gmail.com"
