Hi Terri, I hope others will chime in and give you more information since I am not a fan of gmail/IMAP and use Exchange/Exchange Active Sync which, for my personal basically means Outlook.com. Anyhow, if set up correctly as IMAP and if IMAP is enabled in your gmail settings online rather than POP your email is kept on Google’s servers and any changes you make on any device that is properly set up will reflect on all devices. In other words, if you delete on your laptop you are deleting the message from the server and this change is synced to all other devices and the message will also be gone. Having said this, Google has this strange All Mail or whatever it is called mailbox where even though you delete stuff from your Inbox the mail is kept. I am not sure if it is kept forever, but it is at least for a while.
Good luck, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Terri Stimmel Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2016 9:48 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Questions regarding email, and an iPhone and a laptop? Hi everyone, I would like to know something, if somebody could possibly help me? I have a laptop running Windows 7, and then I have an iPhone S. I have a Gmail account. I was wanting to know, if I delete email off my phone, will it still show up on my laptop? Also, if I delete my mail off my laptop, will it still show up on my phone? If this is accurate on both ends, can I fix this issue If so, how do I go about doing it? I have collected a huge amount of mail over the years, because I always thought it was being deleted from the server. Come to find out, when I started using IMAP, it wasn't. Now I have over 3000 messages, I am slowly trying to get rid of. I don't just want to delete it all at once, because I know that there are some important stuff in there that I would like to have. So if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
