Sent mail from the iPhone is kept on the iPhone and doesn't make it back to the server. This is a short-coming of the program.

I can't believe this hasn't been detailed in the (countless) reviews I've read. I thought
email was synced between devices, not just the email account info. (Syncing account info. is no big deal; it would take, what, 2 minutes to enter by hand?)
Assuming this is true, and I have no reason to doubt 'torifile' on this, iPhone doesn't come close to being a true mobile email solution. I'll be deleting hundreds of emails every day instead of just allowing my main Mail and my iPhone's Mail to sync. Very, very disappointing.
