"I check the same accounts using an Android phone, webmail, TheBat and Outlook. Using IMAP means that a mail is marked read when it's read on any of those clients. Also all mail is available to all clients since it sits on the server. I'd suggest using only IMAP" In other words, when mail is received by your third-party mail host, such as GoDaddy.com or 1and1.com, it stays in your account on your mail host's server? Do you ever download it to your computer so that you "own" a copy? Do you trust your mail host to never lose your e-mail, even if it is 5 or 10 years' old? Is it possible to have IMAP and still download a copy to your computer? If you have set up a whole bunch of folders for your mail, do you have to do the same for your phone? Aren't the folders located on the computer? If so, how can you access folders from the phone? Or, is it that when you read mail from your phone, you just have to wade through everything and not have folders?
