k9 mail is pretty good, but you still have to deal with the Android
touchscreen interface which makes select-delete hard. This may be the
actual root of the problem.

The other solution is peace, tolerance and understanding on the part of
complainers. We can see your mail client and it's not like you are a
clueless Web2.0 newbie without street cred.

I had to eat humble pie a few years ago and back off and stop being the
biggest ass BOFH in the world when folks used a phone. I recommend
people do this. One's number of friends goes up :-)
