As people correctly point out, this is *exactly* what IMAP solves, but, I do like using POP3 as it's quicker (no waiting for messages to download when I click them, or move them, or mark them as read, or save a draft.. It's only a second or so, but its still annoying)

Since having to wait a second to open an email isn't so big a problem on a phone, I would use POP3 on my computer, and IMAP to receive emails on the phone..

That way you aren't cluttering up poor GMail's servers with two copies of the same message, still get the localy downloaded POP3-messages on the computer, and can read emails on your phone without hiding them from the computer
