What mail service? What mail app? Gmail in the Gmail app is a one-for-one copy of your mailbox. What happens in the app happens on the server. The only mailbox type where you can set it to work the way it sounds like you want it to is POP. There may be POP access for Gmail but it's not likely to be the Gmail app.
