here is nice article on IMAP vs POP for Gmail
http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/0...ersus-pop.html
Here is how to enable IMAP

AFAIK Hotmail only supports POP3, so either you need to set to download and delete or leave messages on server.

It may not be designed for it, but we've been doing it for years with all email, so no reason to step back now. It works on all of my Symbian phones. And not all email has IMAP access.

on every Symbian device, using even the default email client, when you delete a message, you get the question "Also delete from server?" And I have a few webmail accounts, at&t/sbcglobal personal accounts, and a few related to my blog team that are hosted by the admin. All of my accounts are POP3.

Sounds like you are looking for an IMAP solution hence why Google is becoming so popular.
Sorry without trying to hijack this thread I have a related question…
If I delete a message from my hotmail account using the N900s email application it delete just fine. But then when I check my hotmail account using my computer (web browser) the messages are still there.
Is this normal behaviour? If so, this makes the built in email app pointless for me, because as I go though and check my mail I have to repeat myself by login into hotmail using a web browser and deleting again.

I wouldn't think it fair to call it a step backwards: this is Maemo not Symbian 60 so some things work in a different way. Symbian tends to be a consumer appliance whereas Maemo tends to be IMHO (not exclusively) a techie base at present.
I would however suggest it might be worth a brainstorm for this functionality and see if it gets picked up. I can't tell without source code but it would seem a simple enough modification to impliment. I would however suggest an option similar to saving web site options to avoid being plagued with the question each time if you didn't want it.

The most recent Symbian devices have an option to delete from the device and server or just the device by default, so you no longer get that message, but I like it because some stuff I do want to keep there but not on the device. I get tons of email a day, hundreds, and its how I manage my communications and research. I'm really missing my N95 8gb for mobile functionality. I miss posting while walking my dog the most.

You want to use IMAP for this.
