Just to add, for clarity, that means to say it deletes server-side what has

Everything you've described screams "switch to IMAP".
There is no syncing with a POP server. You can delete upon retrieval, or you
can leave it on the server, all of which can get very messy when introducing a
new POP3 client.
Most desktop POP3 clients allow you to move e-mail from the Trash back to the
INBOX. I don't know if K-9 does because I don't use POP3. But what you're
doing at that point is working with local folders on the client, you are no
longer interacting with the server.
For IMAP, you can do everything you want and more. E-mail read on one client
syncs with the server and thus all clients (if properly configured). You don't
have to mess with the various folders classes, set everything the same and be
done with it. When you get back to your desktop client, you can easily archive
e-mail to a local or server side folder. Deletions sync and you can even sync
the trash, setting to only empty the trash from the desktop client (which is
what I do). K-9 also has an Archive folder.
However, K-9 does not support creating folders or local folders. It's designed
to be both robust and portable and too many knobs can be to its detriment.
I honestly don't know why anyone bothers with POP3 when IMAP is available, and
understand less why people stick with a service that only offers POP3.
*EVERYTHING* you want to do (with the exception of local folders) is available
with IMAP.
