    Help Can I retrieve copy of email from server?

    I have a samsung galaxy S2 and set up the pre-installed email app (Not Gmail etc.) for my pop3 account with VM recently. I received an email on it the other day and noticed when I got home I couldn't now see it anywhere on the phone, not in inbox etc.

    I have outlook express on my PC (V6) windows XP.. it has a setting to leave a copy of messages on server which is ticked so I was thinking it may be possible to retrieve the same email from the server that originally went to my S2?

    If so, how can I retrieve it as I can't find any info.

    Tia.

    Try the VM webmail?

    It's all good that the option is ticked on Outlook Express on your PC - but is your phone configured the same way? The message may be downloaded (And now removed) to your phone.

    Note if possible to use IMAP - It'll keep messages on the server regardless of where you view the messages.

    Thanks to Brydo666

    You could try recent mode if using pop3

    Thanks guys, I've tried the VM email option but it only lists emails sent to me from VM themselves and no one else. I couldn't get your link to work Windy, but I noticed it's part of VM email anyway. Don't know if the phone app has an option to setting 'save email on server' as it's pretty well a basic app... just find it odd it hasn't saved the blasted thing.
