Exchange Activesync - does all the email get stored on the phone?

A few users have Exchange Activesync on their smart phone.  How exactly do the smart phones retrieve the email and store the email?  I think that the Blackberry devices (for example) use a web "portal" to just view the email on the server...like Outlook Web Access...I think.  Therefore, nothing actually is saved in memory on a Blackberry device.  On the Activesync devices, it looks the device actually downloads 10 days worth of information.  Is that correct?  Will it then automatically delete things older than 10 days?  Is there any way to see historic (older than 10 days) information?

By the way, setting this to All mail will use up all of your program memory on it's first sync if you have a lot of mail. I just accidentally hit it when I was looking up the settings for this post. Suddenly I started getting Windows Mobile out of memory errors. :-)
