Receiving Mail......Need help!!

I have my iphone set up to receive emails so that I can check it while away
from my desk but once I receive it on my Iphone - the message is never
received in my Windows Live Mail email account.

Is there a particular setting that I should have set ??

Is this for an IMAP or POP3 email account? You may need to change a setting
on your iPhone to leave a copy of your messages on the server. I can't tell
you if the iPhone is capable of doing that, or how to change that setting if
can since I don't have one.

Re: Receiving Mail......Need help!!

An iPhone and iPod Touch only supports pop3 capability for a Windows Live Email account.
Unless the message is left on the server, once delivered to an iPhone/iPod touch email client the message will no longer reside on
the server.

To use pop3 on an iPhone/iPod Touch, the Windows Live Email account requires a Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription($20/yr, U.S.,
not available in all countries).

If your Windows Live email account is a Hotmail Plus fee based account then ensure the account settings on the iPhone/iPod Touch
are configured properly:
- Settings/Mail Calendar Contacts/Select Account/Advanced/Delete from server/
You should have at least 3 settings to choose from(Never, Seven Days, When Removed from Inbox)

Fyi...the iPhone/iPod touch if using current firmware and if not modified/hacked by the user is programmed to inform of the Hotmail
Plus requirement when setting up a hotmail/live/msn.com account.
