Deleting question.

Hi Everyone,
Im new to this forum......

But... I am thinking about switching to gmail IMAP but I am sorta confused about somethings.

lets say I get an email from JO BLOW and I hit REPLY and reply then move it to a folder called MAIL FROM JO BLOW

then a few min later.. JO BLOW replies back to me. I open it in my inbox read it and then hit delete

I was reading that gmail if you move the inbox copy to the GMAIL / TRASH FOLDER it would delete the whole thing? even the email I saved in the JOE BLOW folder.

but what if I dont want to copy in the JOE BLOW folder I just want to delete the copy in the inbox.

I was googling about gmail imap and was reading on that.

I use outlook 2003.

so I am wondering.. wow gmails IMAP is so confusing I am still using gmail POP as of right now.


Thanks,
Christopher

yeah? im still using gmail POP..... Ive been afraid to switch over to imap for the fear of loosing a good email.

I tried it in outlook express on a different account and when I deleted the replies from the inbox the orginal stayed in the folder that I assigned it in.

I am hopeing others will also reply back to this and hopefully their answers will be NO that doesnt happen so that way I can switch to imap!

Thanks for the input!
