Help E-Mail Synchronisation.

I'm using the default E-Mail app on the tablet. My new Yahoo E-mails appears in the app no problem, however, when I delete my E-Mails from my laptop they sit in the tablet app.

Can I get them to delete automatically in line with my laptop?

IMAP (or IMAP4) is a common alternative to to POP (or POP3), and would work the way you want. I don't know if Yahoo supports IMAP however, nor do i know whether you'd have access to those e-mails without an Internet connection. With POP, e-mails are downloaded to your device, so you'd be able to read them with or without an Internet connection.

There may or may not be an option on the Tab to leave messages on the server (after downloading), or delete them once they've been downloaded. I don't use POP, so it's hard for me to say.

Look for instructions on yahoo.com for setting up IMAP e-mail.

Re-added account manually using IMAP, works perfectly, Thank You.

I had the same issue with gmail on the standard email app. I could no get it to work properly so I've switched back to the gmail app. The gmail app works fine although I prefer the layout of the general email app better.
