But with POP3, you can erase messages on the iPad and they will still be in your webmail/ home PC.
This advice misses a key point. The POP3 has to be set up in a way that the messages are not downloaded from the server to your ipad, but your home computer is set up to download them. I haven't found a setting in the ipad that allows you to leave a copy on the server.
