I use a comprimise here.

I pull everything from my cs at cskk.id.au inbox, deleting it. But my mail 
filing forwards a suite of messages to a separate account which is for 
my phone. So anything important sends a copy back out to the cloud.  
Well, a personal external server. Um, in the cloud :-(

Likewise, any email I reply to sends the source message and the reply to 
that account.

In this way my phone has access to a copy of the critical stuff and also 
any ongoing email discussions.
