IMAP Sync and Management

server, and also have my iPhone connected to the Exchange server as
well. What I want to do is continue to download my email to my laptop
using IMAP, but when I download my email to the laptop, I want the
read/unread status to be updated on the server and iPhone, but I do
NOT want the email to be removed from the server (which causes the
mail to disappear from the iPhone). Currently, when I download email
to the laptop, it is removed from the server and consequently from the
iPhone, leaving me no mail on my phone, which is bad when I'm away
from my computer and want to reply or forward a message.
I have played with the settings, but cannot get the mail to remain on
the server. BTW, the IMAP account is one of 3 personalities in Eudora
(the Dominant one), and I have numerous filters in place to move mail
from the IMAP Inbox in Eudora to a mailbox in the normal Eudora
mailbox structure. Is that part of the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Probably, yes.
What I do, is have Eudora make a copy, not a move.

Yes.
When you delete mail from an IMAP mailbox, it means just that. The
email is deleted from the mailbox on the server.
Sander's suggestion of copying the mail, instead of moving it, should
work. An alternative would be to set up the other mailboxes within your
IMAP account, instead of "the normal Eudora mailbox structure". You can
move messages between IMAP mailboxes on the same server, and they will
still be available to your other IMAP clients, which can also see all
the IMAP mailboxes, not just the "INBOX".

Right. To be clear, my reason for doing a copy, is that Eudora's Search
only works on local mailboxes, not over IMAP. (I use a Saved Search as a
poor man's "Smart Mailbox", to keep track of the most pressing mail,
regardless of what mailbox it got filtered to.) Plus it gives me a local
copy, just in case the server decides to explode.
Similarly, I have Eudora copy outgoing messages to a mailbox on the IMAP
server, so that on my iTouch's Mail.app I can check what I sent, even
when it was sent with Eudora.

I might be misunderstanding, but I have several IMAP accounts - no POP
at all - and Eudora searches those on the server just fine. It takes
longer, but works.

Thanks all for the responses to my initial post. Let me ask a
followup question, if I may. I do a lot of email work offline, so
having copies of mail locally vs. searching the Exchange server is
important. When I have dealt with an email I transfer it out of my
inbox to another mailbox (let's call it "processed" for ease of
reading) where I keep it pretty much forever. How do I create a
mailbox in the IMAP list of mailboxes locally in Eudora that is then
mirrored to Exchange so that when I move a message from the IMAP inbox
to that "processed" mailbox locally that the transfer action can be
mirrored to the folders on Exchange upon next sync? (Or vice versus--
create the mailbox on Exchange and have the mailbox created in the
IMAP mailboxes in Eudora--however, I see no need to transfer messages
to the "processed" folder on Exchange and then have them automatically
show as moved in my local mailboxes after a sync). I have tried to
create a mailbox in the IMAP mailboxes in Eudora and then also create
a folder on Exchange with the same name, but messages don't seem to
move during the sync (e.g. if I move it on my laptop, then after the
sync it is moved on the Exchange server, etc.)
Thanks again for your help!

Hm... You're right. It works fine. I had some trouble with it when I
first started using IMAP. I guess I did something wrong back then. Glad
to see it works fine now :)
