I use an iPhone to send and receive my Windows Live Mail with no problems and it is configure to NOT delete mail from server and works perfectly.

I now have an iPad and cannot configure a mail client in the same way. When i setup a new mail client selecting 'other' and configure my POP3 and SMTP settings the same as on my iPhone there is no longer an option under 'Incoming Mail' which allows me to check 'Delete from server' - NEVER so everytime I delete a mail item using my iPad it deletes it from the server?

Contacted Apple Support and they point to mail provider???? Please help.
