How does the gmail Android App compare to the Webmail experience when using multiple gmail accounts?
Just use the GMail app and not the Email app. You can select what email to send from -- it shows all the addresses you have set up in GMail -- and has a surprising number of GMail's features for a mobile app. It does go through GMail's servers and you will have your archive. I don't think you can set up and manage POP accounts from it, but if you're not ...

Unbelievably this bug is still outstanding as of Android 4.0.4.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1029
The only fix for this is to use a different email app. Most people end up switching to GMail.
Not happy. I miss my Nokia N900.

The default settings by K9 have at least two mistakes:
use imap.gmail.com instead of mail.gmail.com.
use full emails for usernames such as forname.surname@myFirm.com, not just forname.surname.
Example settings
Incoming Email settings
Username: forname.surname@myFirm.com
Password: correct
IMAP server: ...

How does the gmail Android App compare to the Webmail experience when using multiple gmail accounts?
There are three ways to access Gmail in Android:
Setup an POP/IMAP account using Email app. This is not recommended, since you lose many of Gmails' unique feature.
Use the Browser and Gmail's mobile view. This is not recommended, since you don't get mail notifications.
Setup Gmail account in the Gmail app. This is the preferred way of using Gmail on ...

There are email replacement apps, but unfortunately the few that act similar to HTC Mail will cost money.
Touchdown by Nitrodesk: Touchdown is my preferred email replacement as I use the exchange functionality, and imap protocol. It can tie into most major email services, and also offers some premium features for business users.
Enhanced Email: A more ...

I think I've finally solved this one by using some of the folder settings in K9. In Settings --> Account Settings --> Fetching Mail, I set Poll Folders and Push Folders to "Only First Class Folders", and this seems to have done the job. To be honest, I'm not sure what these settings mean exactly, but I'll live with that.

As far as I can tell, no, there is not a way to configure where sent mail is placed using the IMAP email account on the Galaxy S III. There may be a 3rd party email app that can do this, but not the stock one on the S III. As suggested in the comments K-9 Mail does what you want.

As with IMAP mails are stored centrally on the server, you can see all mails from all IMAP clients. You can automatically store sent mails to a "Sent" folder (instead of only send them and not storing them), which is configured on a per-client basis.
I cannot tell for your desktop clients how to do this, but with K9 you can select the folder in
Menu → ...

The Couldn't open connection to server happened to me as well on IMAP Email set-up, then I noticed that the default IMAP server was imap.mydomain.com. So I made the following changes and it started working:
Incoming:
IMAP Server: mail.mydomain.com
Outgoing:
Security type: SSL/TLS (Accept all certificates) - If I didn't change to this Security type it ...

Email APP
If you are referring to the APP named "Email", you don't have to make any adjustments, the subscription process is fully automated, I just test.
Ps: No options available on this application for that type of settings, perhaps the reason as to why its fully automated and by default in sync.
Gmail APP
If you are referring to the Gmail APP, you ...

I would get back in touch with your email provider's tech support. We know that your phone and network are working correctly (your other accounts work fine) and that your phone's apps are working correctly (you found no difference with K9). That means it's the IMAP connection you're trying to make with this particular server.
Do they have any backup ...

I'd recommend switching to K-9 Mail if the default Email app can't handle this.
In K-9 Mail, once you've set up your account, long-press it and select Account settings -> Folders. On this page you can change the Drafts folder, Sent folder, Spam folder and Trash folder to your preferred ones.

I believe you are talking about Gmail app and your work account is also Google account. If its so not only you can chose what IMAP folder to subscribe but also what notification you want on that folder.
Press Menu -> More -> Settings
Under Account Settings click your email address
You'll see a option "Sync inboxes and labels".
From there you can chose ...

There are some additional options available in K-9 Mail, but it offers only the following choices: "All", "Only 1st Class folders", "1st and 2nd Class folders", "All except 2nd Class folders", "None". Not sure if this helps in your case, depends on your folder structure.

Sounds like it's just not copying sent messageinto your mailbox at all, only keeping them locally. I would assume that's just a shortcoming of the app and you'd need to use a different one that supports that feature. The default client is very basic and buggy. Have you considered using Gmail? You can configure it (through the web) to get mail from an ...

I'm afraid this is not possible with HTC Email application. This email app sync the "Inbox" folder automatically, but every other folder you have is not synced, the app gets all mail in the folder when you enter that folder to see what's inside.
You have the option to use K9Mail, a free e-mail client for Android which supposedly has support for push mail ...
