Gmail

pool_shark

I've started using the Gmail app because it allows me to move emails to other folders (labels).

I have Gmail retrieving my roadrunner email and sending from my roadrunner email.

My problem is that it isn't deleting the emails from the server.

I don't see anything in the gmail settings on the app or google to delete messages from the server.

Any ideas?

I'll be more than happy to assist you with making sure your emails are deleted from the server. Follow this steps to do so...

open the email app

go to where you see the list of incoming emails

push the tab with the lines at the bottom of the phone

open the account settings

scroll down

open incoming settings

at the bottom is "delete email from server"

Make sure that option is selected. Hope this is helpful.

The droid 2 does not have an option for delete email on server, neither in the gmail app or the email app. The droid 2 also doesn't have the tab with the lines.

I have had my DROID 2 a few hours and have been looking for online info how to use it! I see a note from Natashia that to remove email from server to "push the tab with the lines at the bottom of the phone" and "open the account settings." What tab with lines at the bottom of the phone? Thanks!

As my post says, there is no tab with lines at the bottom of the droid 2, it's on the droid. Look at a picture of the droid.

I ended up changing the settings in gmail to not leave retrieved emails on roadrunner's server.

Now all the email from roadrunner is transfered to gmail and the gmail app on the Droid handles the email almost exactly the way I want it. I have my alternate folders, but I can't seem to tell gmail when to retrieve. Someone has stated that gmail uses some type of polling algorithym to determine when to check.
