Comcast email

If I fetch Comcast email to my iPad, does the email literally MOVE off of Comcast’s server, or does my iPad simply COPY the email but leave the original on Comcast’s server? Thanks.

If you set up your Comcast account on your iPad as an IMAP interface (likely), then your email is handled directly from Comcast’s server. In other words, if you delete an email from your Comcast account on your iPad and have an IMAP setup, it is deleted on Comcast’s server.

If you don’t know whether you’re set up as IMAP and can’t tell from Settings > Mail > Accounts …, seek assistance from Comcast.
