I have taken a part of thread from gmail forum then added my own observations on having experienced same issues on post reply

has any one got a solution to problem

I have used Thunderbird with POP for many years (using my own domain via Google Apps). It works perfectly since I can access all my emails that comes in during the day wherever I am, and then by the end of the day download them all to my desktop computer (which then empties the online inbox).

Recently I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate version) which currently runs Android 2.1. I initially configured the phone with POP. The problem with that was that every time it refreshed/checked for new incoming email, it removed all current email on the phone and oddly enough placed them in the Trash folder in the online interface. Basically, it looked like I logged in online, marked all messages in the inbox and then moved them all to Trash. I had the same behavior with other clients that I tried on the phone so I eventually gave up and opted for IMAP instead. Initially this seemed like it worked just fine, but I then noticed by the end of the day that Thunderbird did not download all the messages that were located in the inbox. So I simply logged in online, marked all messages in the inbox as unread, and then tried to download them with Thunderbird again. But it still did not work.

So now I'm in a pickle here. I want emails on my phone so that I can check it during the day, but I also want to empty the online inbox by downloading them to Thunderbird using POP.

So what should/could I do?

Computer:
Operating system: Ubuntu 10.04
Program and version: Thunderbird 3.0.6 with no plugins or extansions

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate)
Operating system: Android 2.1

I have got exactly the same problem using galaxy s............. Iwent through exactly the same procedures as MockY using several sifferent email providers with no success.
samsung tech uk were absolute s**t the sanctimonious plonker i spoke to on both occasions after waitying 30 mins each time tried to blame my smartphone provider then my isp provider virgin who give them their due tried to help but to no advail. I went back to samsung again and this time there cop out was to say they dont support the email software the problem is android ( why do they preload such crap then) after spending manys hours and every possible configuration of pop3 imap4 I had to settle for using the forwarding option in my isp account to push mail to a gmail account, this works fine (do not forget to tick leaving emails on server otherwise the forwarding will remove emails by default stored on isp server) The only problem here is i use imap to cordinate the removal of emails from several email clients and i can find no way of sychronising the removal of emails from my phone via gmail to delete same from such accounts.
At the end of the day samsung tech support sucks! we can wait for android 2.2 and hope this issue gets resolved as the phone is very good value but iam considering sending back and changing to iphone as i know the push mail option works

Identical problem here. The preloaded email program sucks. I can receive okay, but it doesn't allow me to send anything. Sometimes it sends, sometimes it doesn't. For the most part it doesn't send emails.
The easiest solution I found is to forward to your gmail account.

Sony announced that it plans to launch a tablet PC running two operating system Google Android.
Devices, the so-called S1 and S2, will go on sale at the end of the year.
Robot is currently the fastest growing mobile platform, and is expected to claim a share of 38% of the market by the year 2015.
It was much anticipated entry of Sony in the market for inspiration, but it comes at a time relatively late in the day, compared with other manufacturers.
Apple launched the first version to require the company leading the industry in April 2010.
It is expected that its IOS to remain dominant for several years to come, but with a shrinking share of sales.
Sony said that the first discs will come in the form of the two agents: one will have a traditional 9.4-inch touch screen, while the other displays will feature dual 5.5-inch fold closed.
In addition to the operating system Android Base Honeycomb, and Sony to add many of its features, are including the ability to transfer video and music to TVs and stereos using standard wireless DLNA streaming.
The company proposed that there will also be a kind of integration with the PlayStation Network, and the possible functions of play.
And strength would help the name of Sony electronics giant is likely to gain some traction in the market inspired fragmented.
Faces dozens of similar devices running the robot itself, has become recognized brands and an important way to distinguish quality.
However, the Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi surprise revelation in the company?s decision to identify the devices such as Sony exclusively.
Spencer Kelly looks at the click of a how to differentiate the Tablet hardware manufacturers
?It is interesting that it comes with the Sony brand rather than Sony Ericsson,? she told the news.
?This raises questions about what you intend to do to connect the drive to the operating system on a Smartphone users because the revelation is going to want that same experience.?
Ms. Milanesi and suggested that the success of Sony CD will depend on whether the technical specifications looks as good as is the case when he put the devices in the end as they do now.
She said that many manufacturers, including HP, has fallen into the trap of announcement machines that outperform the competition, only to find that they appeared to be less competitive than in the time that went on sale.

I'll echo that sentiment. We have an internally hosted mail domain (via Exchange) that is working just fine, but we have a number of employees who have POP mail hosted through a marketing partner (...long story...), and the mail handling for those POP accounts is horrible (they act more like IMAP accounts).

We have their Outlook clients set up to leave copies of the messages on the server for X days (otherwise, new messages on the phones were disappearing as soon as Outlook downloaded them), so that let's the messages stay on the phones during that period, but when users delete messages on their phones, those same messages are then deleted from the server and (during the next send/receive) from Outlook as well. Our users like to keep their phone inboxes trim, but tend to keep many messages in Oulook for a long time. It's an acceptible behavior for some. What's not acceptible is that there is no option to tell the phone not to delete messages from the server when deleted on the phone. It's a clear sign that they don't want to keep copies of the messages on the phone in the first place.
