Mails dissapere on iPad - outlook "steels" them?

Hey guys,


A very enoying problem. 😕


I have 2 emails set up my private email (hotmail) and another POP3 email set up on my iPad and I have something like 1000 mails on the POP3 server.


Ok the hotmail works allright! The issue is my POP3 email.


It has normally been no problems but now all of a sudden my mailbox is empty and it doesn't fetch the information from the server (old mails). It works though, in the way it receives new emails. But the inbox has been emptied 2 times now. All mails from this server is gone from the iPad.


I have tried following sollutions:


- Rebooted the iPad

- removed the email account and re-set it up. (no luck)

- I have now (today) set up my Outlook express and windows live mail to not delete emails from the server (only deleted emails).



I dont know but I think the issue started when I set up Outlook Express on my computer (only used windows live mail before). Now I set up the Outlook express for the pop3 account but I figure especially now that I have made the server settings (to not delete) I should be able to collect emails right?


It works without a problem (both emails) on my iPhone


Please I need some help on this one, its My company mail and well this really is enoying.


Thanks


Rickard

Richard, are you still having this problem? I have two ipads and it's doing the same thing on one of my ipad's private small email account that is a pop3 account. No one has been able to help me even after I restored my entire ipad 2 which is new.


Can you share the solution if this has stopped happening. I've lost my email over 15 times, every couple of days usually, in that private account of mine.


Thanks,

Martha
