gmail and leave messages on server iPhone 3g

I have an iphone 3g connect to my gmail account. If my phone downloads an e-mail it's pulled off of the g-mail server. I know it was possible to leave them on the server although I can no longer find the setting.

Any ideas?

I love the pushmail feature when you set gmail to synchonize like this:

That wiill leave them on the server, unless you delete the messages, and sychonize read vs unread.

If you want to use POP and leave messages do this:
On the phone go to Settings>Mail>Your account > advanced > delete from server > never

Sorry, you need to also do this within the Gmail settings. Log into Gmail Go to Settings > Forwarding IMAP & POP > select When messages are accessed with POP Leave in Inbox

For my GMail I have:

IMAP Access Enabled

POP (nothing select out of enable for all mail, enable from this point forward, or disabled)

Should I enable POP for all mail?

Because this "On the phone go to Settings>Mail>Your account > advanced > delete from server > never" setting is not available.
