The culprit here isn’t the Android, it’s POP3 – a protocol that has no place in the multi-client world of 2011.

The native Android Gmail app doesn’t delete messages off the server, and elsewhere I use IMAP whenever possible.

POP3 clients can be configured to leave mail on the server, but that’s just a hack for the single-client/single mailbox folder mentality of POP3.
