Email settings issue

[Topgun]

Hi, this is only a minor problem but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
When VM used Google for mail, if I deleted an email from my desk top (windows live mail), it then automatically disappeared from my iPhone and iPad. Since the change, it doesn't and I have to delete them manually from the Apple devices. I prefer it the way it used to be and would like to return to that. I have logged into my web mail account and looked at the settings but can't figure out what I need to change to go back to the good old days.
Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks.

You need it set up as IMAP, sounds as though you are only set up as POP3

Ok, thanks. I'll have a look at that and see if it changes anything.

You were indeed correct, all sorted now, thanks.
