The issue I'm having is when I clean out my inbox, everything I've already reviewed in my inbox using my computer is not updated using my phone, regardless of how many times I am hitting refresh. It is very frustrating. Maybe I'm doing it wrong????

Thanks for any help!

I also use a hotmail account.. I'll look into it and get back to ya within the next couple hours.

Personally.. I do most of my email the other way.. use phone more then computer.

Well Amber.. I got some bad news. It seems that what you are trying to do isn't possible using the built in email program on your Adndroid phone.
A few of things you can do is...

1st: in setting reduce the amount of days emails are shown in the in box to just "today" that way you only will see emails from today.

2nd: switch auto updating to "Manual" that way you won't automaticly get a bunch of emails.

3rd: You can also set your email to "check when opening" email program. That way it only checks for new email when you open the email program.

While in the web browser: click the menu button, then add bookmark (best to type in web address manually because as soon as you go to the website the address changes in the address bar to something really long).

Once you have saved the bookmark exit out of browser altogether.

Now longpress (hold finger on blank spot on homescreen until menu pops up) then choose "shortcut", then "bookmark", then choose the bookmark you created earlier.
