Outlook Mobile Delete question

OK, this is probably a silly question, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
I have set up a mail account to Gmail. In that account I'm forwarding some other accounts of mine, so it gets pretty crowded.
What I would like to do is delete messages from my phone but NOT from Gmail.
Outlook Mobile offers two choices, as far as I can see: when deleting messages either
Move them to server trash, or
Delete them off the server.
Neither of those suits me. I only want to delete them from the bloody phone.
A further restriction is that I like to use my mail from TF3D, and therefore would rather not having to install another mail client unless TF3D can somehow be coerced into working with it.
Oh, and in case you wonder - I don't sync my mail with the desktop Outlook. I'm using Gmail more and more...
Thank you all for your help.

have you tried both options, and seen what the effect on the server inbox is?
ive thought of this before, and it annoyed me greatly, but i cant remember the solution. plus, we all know how wm doesnt word things correctly.
rory

err... sorry.. duplicate post.. don't know why

Tap on mail (touch flo)
Inbox
Menu-Tools-options
Tap on Gmail
(setting should open up now)
Hit 'Edit Account Setup'
Click on next next next next next
(hide key board on Automatic Send/Receive screen)
Hit 'Advanced Settings'
When deleting messages: (drop down menu)
You can set it there to not delete the messages from the server
Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer. However, I only have the two options described in my first post. Can you see a third option there?

err.. oops. Just checked again
I could have sworn it was there!
Sorry mate. guess that was on the P1 or something.. not sure.

This might not be a feasible solution, but ... just a thought..
You could set it to keep the messages only for the last 4 or 5 days..
that way, they won't be on your phone, but will be on your server.
A POSSIBLE workaround.. definitely not a solution

Here is what I configured to use the diamond without loss of messages during their removal :
I created a special e-mail address to use with my mobile phone, like [email protected].
And I set up a redirect additional for all my messages to it.
Now, I can delete all my messages without erasing the ones on my main account.

Try to go to "tools" - "option". Click the account you need to edit. Click "send/receive schedule" - "advance settings" - "when deleting messages" dropdown menu.....

Same thing. Just the two options.
Delete from Server.. or Move to Server Trash

OK, I think I've got it. It all boils down to the fact that the default Gmail setup is IMAP. If you change that to POP3 (using the instructions from Gmail) you will be able to delete your mails on the phone only.
It would be nice if someone could confirm this. It certainly seems to be working for me.
EDIT: WORKS! I get "Keep them on server" now.

The problem is related to the gmail server own rules. I have just made a test account and there is no "keep on server" option on the WM mail client. On my other account (my own domain/server) there is no problem.
You could use another mail provider (hotmail, live) for example.

Turns out it actually is IMAP vs POP3. While IMAP is generally better, when you do something locally (on the phone) it is as if it was done on the server (a disadvantage in this case).
The key is to fool Diamond into not recognizing Gmail, which means giving the address as [email protected][B]gm[/B].com, then put all the POP3 settings.
On the other hand, I've noticed it will only download the unread messages...

Hi,
I cant find what you mentioned. Could you write a step by step if you dont mind please, just incase anyone has the same issue ?
1 . Click on Settings Tile
2 . ......etc......
Thanks in advance !!!

settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.

Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

Hopefully MICROSOFT WP7 team can fix this.....I'll think I'll send them a tweet, and it would be great if you guys could do the same if you use twitter ....
Thanks again guys !

[Q] Need Help With K-9 Mail

Since the Gmail app isn't yet working on our rooted Nooks, I've been using K-9 Mail (Version 3.319). It works fine, but would be a bunch better if I could figure out a couple of features.
First, is there any way to link the K-9 Mail to Contacts, so I wouldn't have to type the recipient's email address every time I send a message?
And, second, is there a way to change or remove the Signature ("Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse the brevity.") I had it removed once -- on an earlier version of the program -- but now can't find that option in Settings.
Thanks for the help.

When you're on the Inbox screen, hit the menu soft key, go to More -> Settings -> Account Settings
Then go to Sending mail -> Manage identities -> <your identity>
From there, you can un-check the Use Signature button and/or change your signature

Account -> Account Settings -> Sending Mail -> Signature.
Sorry, I haven't looked at B&N's custom contacts stuff yet. But I'd take patches

How to UNDO "Merge with Google" ?

Hi guys,
I accidentally hit "Merge with Google" in my Contact settings but I see no where to UNDO Merge with Google.
How get I get it back to the way it was originally?
Thanks!!

just press on the contacts and it should display the details.
there is a field " joined contacts " and if you press on it, you can use the minus sign to separate them

Oh I tried that but the "minus" sign is faded out and cant be selected

Any other possible solutions?

bump....for suggestions

Maybe your contacts arent synchronised with google? Log in on your gmail account and check by yourself.
Also go to settings -> accounts and sync -> your google account and uncheck sync contacts.

I too have this issue, I cannot see my calendar (important), nor can I see any of my zoe's (not that they really matter).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

For info, i'm on stock firmware with Telus (canada).
Right now all my calendar event are save in my Gmail account.
I tried saving the event in different calendar (tried theme all), and no one show in Blinkfeed.

Got it!

Spoke with HTC this is what they said...
"We appreciate you took the time to provide us with that information. To solve this situation w will remove the email account where the calendar was synced. To do so, please go Settings > accounts and sync > tap on the account > once it is open tap and hold on the bar where the name of the account is displayed and select remove. Now please set it up again and make sure the calendar will be filled. Now please go to Calendar > tap on the Three dots Menu > Accounts > + button > select account > fill the fields. Go to blinkfeed screen, Swap down slowly to reveal a menu > Tap on the three dots menu > Topics and services > slide to the left and select calendar.
Then you can check on the main screen of the blinkfeed and make sure all your events are being displayed there."
I did this, and rebooted and voila it was there.
One thing I should point out is that I had to add a 'Hotmail Account' (under accounts & sync) before it would work, simply adding my Sympatico account to 'mail' did not provide me with the same options. Also, you do not have to delete the 'mail' icon from your task bar/panel as it will start to grab your mail from the 'hotmail account'. Lastly, if there are no calendar events for 'today' you may not see the calendar event until it is the correct day. Hope this helps.
I am new to HTC so I can try to help you further if required but no promises. If I have broken any form rules please forgive me.
Cheers,
