Help - Old letters on Mac marked as unread on iPhone

[pk78]

I just got an iPhone 3G and I synced it up with Mac Mail. There's just one problem: whenever I read a letter in Mac Mail and even delete it, it still shows up in my iPhone as new. Here's an example of what I'm saying:

- I get an e-mail, read it on Mac Mail, delete it.
- Later I hit "update" on my iPhone's Mail app. and it will show the message I deleted on Mac Mail and mark it as new.

Is there anyway the iPhone can update with Mac Mail?

Thanks!

What type of e-mail account is it? POP? IMAP?

Sounds like it may be POP and the messages are being kept on the server.

It's POP. If I set it to delete off the serve will that delete it out of my GMail account online? Also, how do I change that setting?

Sounds like you're should change the connection to IMAP so that a change on one device changes everywhere.

Not to sound stupid, but do you know how I do that?

Google's got a great tutorial.
