Hi
Can any one advise me on something.
I have a PC, android phone and an ipad.
I have 4 e-mail accounts. Lets call them A,B,C and D.
On my PC I have A, B and C as POP3 and D as Imap.

What I would like to do is the following.
I would like A, B and C to be viewable on my mobile devices when I am out for the day and to down load the e-mail to my PC when I get back to it. While I am
out I may wish to reply but once I download them to the PC I want them to clear off my mobile devices.

I want to keep D as Imap as I use that and need those e-mails permanently accessible from any device or PC.

Would I be right in thinking that I should keep A, B and C as POP3 on all devices and D as Imap on all devices?

What is happening at the moment is that I can view the POP3 mail on a mobile device during the day time when say I am at work but when I get home and open outlook 2010 and download the mail, it stays on my mobile devices.

I could change them to IMAP too but I have a large number of sub folders with a lot of e-mail and I feel safer with an offline copy for security against hackers and also if I lose one of my devices, someone has no chance of accessing those e-mail.

Advise please
