I'm using my iPad to retrieve my email, not Hotmail or Gmail. It's an email account supplied by my service provider. When I retrieve my email, from my iPad, why is that when I go to my Outlook email on my laptop, email which I have already read days ago (on my ipad) still downloads in my Outlook? How can I fix it so that when I have downloaded and read my email on my iPad, then delete it,(from the trash bin) it goes off my service providers server so it's gone for good so I don't have to go to my Outlook mail and delete them from there?
Got a tip for us?

Like Sdevante said you are probably set up for POP3 (which is rubbish). Does your provider also offer IMAP?
If not, I set up a new GMail account, and you can set GMail to fetch the emails from the POP3 account. GMail supports IMAP and Push.
I had that problem with Hotmail. I wasn't going to pay for the premium account to get a feature that should have been included 5 years ago! Set up like I said above and haven't looked back.
