Droid 3 email accounts

[ba_rt]

Hi, I just upgraded from Droid 1 to Droid 3. The way email accounts work on D3 is different. On D1, if an email was retrieved by an another external client and deleted from the email server, that email was automatically deleted from D1 on next sync. That worked well for me, since I prefer to control emails from my PC. On D3 the emails stay on the phone, even if they are gone from the email server, and I could not find any settings to change that.

Also, on my secondary gmail account that I set up on D3, some emails seem to be pulled AND DELETED from the server by D3 and some are not deleted. Again, could not find a setting to change this.

If anyone can point me to where I can get info on how the email accounts are supposed to work on D3, I would appreciate it.

Additional info: I have 2 secondary email accounts. One ATT and one gmail, both using POP3

Gave up on trying to make Moto/Blur email stuff work. You can't change any aspect of how email is fetched and handled. It's so bad, it's ridiculous. Thank god for K-9 Mail. As described on Android Market, best email client for Android. You can customize EVERYTHING. I'm email-happy now

Thunderbird lets you manage multiple identities under a single email account.  Does Android client provide this?  Only appears to allow multiple accounts which you can link to the same email server, but causes replication of every email for however many identities you need.  Maybe there is another email client that provides this?  Thanks.
