Thanks Giangi and John for your replies. I was not notified of them, that’s

I don’t feel very much like switching to IMAP because I fear to lose the
little amount of control I still have on my email.
IMAP provides more control, not less. Checking mail from multiple locations
with POP3 is unreliable at best. Inefficient at its worst.
Your suggested solutions have always been in effect:
1. I always leave messages on server in the K9 and also in the stock Android
mail app (still used on another phone).
2. "Mark as read when opened" is unchecked in K9.
3. Leaving messages on server in the computer’s email clients settings does
not help. However it seems that I get different behaviours when using
different clients on computer.
4. Gmail is set not to mark messages as read when downloaded by an email client.
Yet if I open messages on K9 or stock app, I won’t be able to download them
later. The only way to retrieve them locally is to go to Gmail on the web and
forward them to myself.
I am so tired of all this showoff outside an amateurship inside software
programs... (commercial ones included).
Why not just use the stock GMail client? Gmail is kind of a custom IMAP
implementation, and if your e-mail is filed into folders, you'll never get
them with POP3.
