what *i* do is like this: i use mutt & balsa to read my mail, so if i want
something on the pilot, i save a copy of that message with a name like '1'
or '2' or '3' (etc.) to ~/palmpilot/mail (my 'mh maildir'). i set 'mail
sent from pilot' to 'file' and 'mail on host' to delete. so, every time i
sync my pilot, it moves '1' and '2' and '3' to the pilot (deleting them
in the process, mind you, thats why they are copies). this won't
automatically delete emails on the pilot if they are deleted locally, but
it's good enough for me. YMMV.

(note: emails must be saved *individually* to '1' etc, so you cant select
a bunch of messages to move to '1' or '2'...)
