I access my email from tablets using IMAP, then grab all my mails at the end of the day using Thunderbird over POP3. Thunderbird is set to download and delete. Works fine for me. I think when you set K-9 to use IMAP, you have to specifically tell it do delete emails. Otherwise, they're left on the server. David W.
