Well, at the least I can tell you that the Nokia E50 has a decent enough
IMAP client - works over SSL for reading, works with SASL for sending;
and you can delete mails from either the phone only or both phone and
server.

The only issue I have with it is that, if you haven't used it in a
while, but have been reading your mail from elsewhere, when you
reconnect with the phone, it'll grab all the headers of the latest mail,
but mark them all as unread. Not a major issue really, just more of an
annoyance.
