With a POP account on iphone, how do you get the sent items off the machine?
On an iphone that's being retired. Wife had pop account. So sent mail from the phone is only on the iphone in the sent folder. Doesn't come off with backups, right?
She wants to save those sent emails.
I was looking at 1 way - setup icloud email account on the phone. then i go into the pop account's sent folder. chose edit, check 1 then move... choose the icloud inbox and it seems to go (graphic shows it dropping into that folder). And it is not in the sent folder of the pop account anymore.
But it doesn't show in icloud account.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get those sent items back into the pop sent account?
Another way to do it?
i tried ifunbox but couldn't find mail folders.

I can't comment on your iCloud issues but for backups, why not create a new email account as IMAP, and copy folders, emails to the new IMAP account. Should copy to the IMAP email server and be available to any client that access the email account.
yes, going forwards, we're setting her up with exchange / o365 (our own domain).
Am I wrong to think that imap isn't as good as exchange?
