Hi.  I'm responsible for K-9 (though we seem to be collecting new
contributors at a reasonably brisk pace).  I implemented delete-on-server as
one of the first things I did.  I'm not sure I'd say that we've fixed a
_lot_ of the bugs in the core Email application. Many improvements come from
the fact that we started with the opensourced version of Email, which
appears to be a newer build than the one shipped with the G1.

You can find out a bit more about what K-9 ships with at

It's my intent to feed back improvements to the core Email application,
though I'm not 100% sure everything we do will be deemed 'right' for a core
application. I've signed a CLA and will encourage all other contributors to
do so.  As far as I've been able to determine, it's not possible to install
local builds of a core application or distribute an improved version of a
core application to the Marketplace without doing a fair amount of
name-changing. This makes contributions a little more painful, but I'm
confident we can make it go if the Android team think any of what we're
doing is up to snuff.
