How to sync iPhone with actual email in email server

Some time back we suvcesfully configuir our iPhone to keep all emails that are sent to our email address (with EE help).  Previous to this the problem we had was that our Outlook when receiving emails first, our iPhone would not received.  Nevertheless, it's fixed and we're happy.

The problem now is that some email address, in the iPhone receive so much junk mail that when I delete them in the email server, the iPhone is not updated (email servers are gmail, hotmail, yahoo)

How can I sync my iPhone with the email server?

the iphone client for yahoo and gmail will allow you to delete messages off the server. Are you sure that it is not working for all three of those services?

In any event, go to Settings, Mail and each individual account. Make sure you are using IMAP instead of POP for accounts that authorize it. Make sure that all folders are being synced.
What version of Exchange do you have?  (assuming you have Exchange)

no exchange.

Our concern is gmail, yahoo and hotmail.  When at the web-mail, we also do our moves and deletes (since its much easier).  Wehn we see iPhone, its filled with all those emails.  

We want at least once a week to have these 3 iPhone emails be sync with their respective email server.

Hope this clear what we want.

Judt tried it with gmail and after entering email & password, the only screen that appear next was the one with
    'Mail' ON/OFF slider
    'Calender' ON/OFF slider
    'Notes' ON/OFF slider

No screen where IMAP can be selected
