How do you save an email on the Lumia 735 phone using a POP account

Most of my emailing is done using the Thunderbird email program on my home desktop PC, running a POP email account. When I'm not at home I'd like to be able to check my email(s) on my Windows Lumia 735 phone, which is also setup with a POP account. There will be times when I need to keep an important email on my phone but every time the phone sync's, it erases emails that have been deleted from the server. I'd like to be able to keep important emails somewhere on my phone ... is there no safe place you can put them where they will stay on phone until deleted on the phone?

My Internet provider is Time Warner and they couldn't help me. John

You would need to create a sub-folder and call it something like "Saved Mail." You can move emails to that folder after reading them.

Thanks 47seijar for your response ... I actually thought of that but I can't find anyway that allows me to make a folder. How do you do that on your phone?

The folders that are available on my phone are:

I tried moving mail to all of these folders and it will move the email(s) to the folder I choose but as soon as my phone sync's again ... the email(s) disappear if the emails have been removed from server.

Still haven't found a solution but did find out a couple of things.

1. My wife has an iPhone and what I want to do works on her iPhone 5. Her account is setup as an IMAP for the incoming and SMTP for outgoing. She created a folder on her phone called "Saved" and if she moves an Inbox email to the "Saved" folder, it stays there, even if the email is deleted from the server.

2. When you use a POP account it will ONLY synchronize the Inbox folder.

I think I've correctly setup my phone with the IMAP incoming and SMTP outgoing info. but can't find a way to create a folder i.e. "Saved" on my phone to move email to, in order to test.

Any thoughts from anyone?

You could always forward your mail to an Image account like Google or iCloud for example.
