I'm new to the e-mail implementation in WM2003SE.
I have been configuring my account and it seems to work.
I had been searching in WM for an option to leave a copy of the mail on the
server but could not find it.
I was pleasantly surprised though (for a change) that a copy of all mail is
left on the server by default.

This is OK, but anyhow I would like to know if there's a way to change the
setting in WM.

AFAIK, not in WM2003. Microsoft's "usage scenario" of a mobile device
assumes that you archive your email on a "real" computer, so if the mobile
deleted mail from the server, that would cause problems for users.

My WM6 device gives me the option of deleting messages from the server when
I delete them from my device, but I still see no option to delete them when
initially retreived.

For all the faults of Windows Mobile, MS does a pretty good job with the
protection of your off-device data, like PIM and email, IMO. Some minor
annoyances in the mobile OS seem to be intentionally implemented for that
reason: i.e. the removal of multiple contact selection to prevent mass
deletions on the device that would migrate to Outlook at next sync , the
removal of the "replace all all items on PC with items from mobile
device" option in Activesync and WMDC, the inability to overwrite a
synced desktop Excel spreadsheet after editing on the device (you now
have to save the edited sheet with a different filename, so you can't
inadvertently alter or delete unsupported functions in the original) etc.
(I'm not personally a fan of all of these restrictions, but I understand
the reasoning behind them.)

Sure, you can really still f**k up your desktop data from your mobile,
but it requires trying a LOT harder these days than it used to! ;-)

to expand, while the default is to leave it on the server, you control
what's deleted by deleting messages and the settings on how those
deletions are handled on the device... i.e. delete what you want gone
from the server and move items you don't want to see in the inbox to a
different folder.
