Thank you. &nbsp;I'll have to rethink how I use my Outlook so as to keep the benefits of the sync without the trauma of unintended deletions.

Thank you.  I'll have to rethink how I use my Outlook so as to keep the benefits of the sync without the trauma of unintended deletions.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Gmail account, which forwards to both my iPhone 5 and my Outlook 2013. &nbsp;I want the email that's in my Outlook Inbox to remain unchanged, regardless of whether I've read or deleted the email online or on my phone. &nbsp;Right now if I delete the email from my online Gmail account it disappears from my Outlook, and if I read the email on my phone it becomes marked &quot;read&quot; in Outlook. &nbsp;It's wreaking havoc in my business. &nbsp;Please help.<br />

Thanks,<br />
