Yes, stop deleting messages you want to keep. That is how IMAP works. IMAP is server based. You view messages on the providers server remotely. If you delete a message from any device or at the server it is gone.

POP downloads messages to your computer and by default removes them from the server. Then they are not there for your mobile to see. You can mark the option in the email client to leave on the server but then you have to manage removing them from the server manually before it fills your inbox on the server. I suggest you Google POP vs IMAP and learn how the 2 protocols work.

What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you want to delete them when using the mobile?
