SE W800I delete emails

Cant find a way of deleting them only an option to mark for deletion. Anyone
help?

Since it needs to access POP3 server to perform the deletion, you can only
mark for deletion and then synchronise, you can't just delete. If you could
just "delete" from your phone, the message would still exist on the POP3
server.

However isn't that what you want? I would quite like an email not to be on
my phone but still be available for download to a laptop pop3 client... it's
not the best implementation of email on a phone; Nokia's attempt remembers
which emails you've downloaded and purged from the phone, so you don't get
it again unless you want it specifically, much much better.

Well I can't comment on Nokia since I use SE, it works fine for me!

If I don't want an email I just mark it for deletion (apart from wasted
memory, does this make much difference to fully deleting it?) and then "send
and receive", job done!

But if you receive numerous emails per day, you have to keep those emails on
your phone if you wish to have them downloaded on a PC. Not to worry.

Agreed about that, it is a downside I guess. With 20 emails it's not really
a problem, if you get 200 then I guess it starts to become one.

One possible solution is to just download "headers only", then only download
the ones you really want to read. But I guess this depends on the % of your
daily email that is urgent! With my home email I can leave most of it, with
work email I would want to read at least 90% of it.
