Considering that accessing e-mail on a phone is slower and more cumbersome than in a computer, storage is more limited, and downloading messages may cost you depending on your data plan, processing spam in a portable device (phone/tablet) is generally not seen as the best solution. Server-side filtering tends to give you a better experience, as long as the filter is not prone to false positives. Even so, a remote-storage (IMAP/Exchange ActiveSync) solution usually gives you easy access to the spam folder, so you can check for those pesky false positives. Anyway, if you delete a spam message via IMAP with your phone, it shouldn't reappear later in your computer, no matter if you use POP or IMAP on the PC. But I'm unaware of any client-side spam filter for Android (or iOS, for that matter) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
