I do not want to delete mail from the server when I delete it from my iPhone, how do I prevent this?

[iMore Question]

I do not want to delete mail from the server when I delete it from my iphone.

I am not a tech person, and have struggled with my iPhone. I have ios 8.1.2 on an iPhone 5. I noticed that mail deleted from the phone also deletes it from the Comcast server and I do not want that. This did not happen before the ios upgrade. I found the setting and switched it manually to the option "never" delete mail from the server. The next day, I again noticed it was deleted from the server, and rechecked the setting to see that it apparently reset itself. I have had icloud backup enabled, and now I have switched it off. Will this fix it, or is there another fix?

I'm curious. Does the server have IMAP or POP?
