[Hidden-tech] ipad email question (Neal Priestly)

[Lynne Rudié]

Hello again H-Techies!
	As Tad said, the problem was not that I had a desire to sync my  
devices. In fact I prefer not to sync them because I use the devices  
differently- I want all messages to come in on my computer where I can  
sort them in folders. But I want to be able to delete the ones that I  
don't need to carry around on each mobile device. I know, very manual,  
but it works for me.
	I couldn't figure out why I could delete the messages from the iphone  
but not the ipad. I'm so happy to have been pointed in the right  
direction for that. I'm also going to re-read the manual because I  
obviously forgot a few things and need a review.
	Thanks again
	Lynne
