I have 3 email accounts on my phone. Gmail, Hotmail, and a personal domain (run as IMAP on a host, not Exchange). I like the Moto Photon's combined messaging (texts and all email accounts visible in one place), which is like the Blackberry world I switched from. However, the native applications will not delete emails from the server, which means when you open you email at home, you have lots of emails you thought you had already deleted.
Second issue, and more important, is that Sent emails do not get saved on the IMAP server. This means any replies you sent from your phone are essentially lost (unless you BCC yourself, and then go through multiple steps to file them away later on another computer).
I read about lots of different alternative email solutions for Android. I installed and tried several, but none really fixed either of the above issues. Or, if they did, the interface was very awkward.
Finally, today I tried Maildroid Pro. I started with the free version, just to test it, and it seemed to work great. So, I bought the ad-free version. So far, it is great! The only thing that could make it better is if I could have my text messaging incorporated into the "combined account" area.
If IMAP email functionality is important to you, I strongly recommend Maildroid Pro. I know it is expensive for an Android program, but it is the only answer I was able to find. And it works well.
