Glitchy email inbox?

Having a similar issue with my wife's phone. Her email account is mobile me and usually a power cycle fixes this issue.
does it work like imap? if i do something to the inbox on my phone, will it show up in gmail?
Odd. This used to happen to me all the time when I was using IzyMail for Hotmail, but it has never happened to me on any of my iPhones on Yahoo or Gmail
Ugh, me too. IzyMail was a brief solution for me, but I hated it so much. I'm happy to pay Mobile Me now.
Mine isn't glitchy, but rather than start a new thread for a simple question, is there any freaking way to get the red delete button back rather than have archive be there? I hate this. I'm CONSTANTLY archiving emails that I mean to delete out of habit. I select multiple emails and then I hit archive because I'm used to it being the delete button.
I do not like having to hit move -> and then trash. That makes no sense. Delete should be the easier option to get to, with move -> archive being the other option.

I had this too.. my fix is this
Go into the sent folder...
let all them load...
delete all...
should take care of these..

It's happened to me once since upgrading my 3GS to iOS4. 2 emails, one just like the ones you show and one with a real contact's name on it but no subject and no content and a date from 2000. Powering down fixed it, and when the phone came back on I had 2 real emails that didn't show before. So far it hasn't happened again.

Yes. If you go into an the Mail portion of the Settings app, under each account there's a On/Off toggle that's called "Archive Mail". Putting that back to off restores the red Delete button. You have to do this for each account individually.
My wife's phone has this "No Sender, No Subject" issue as well. If you force mail closed and then reopen it it seems to go away. It looks like we have more than a few workarounds... now we just need Apple to fix it.

Yes, it's in the settings. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > click on your email account > turn archive messages to OFF. You'll have your delete back the way it was before. It was one of the first things I did after upgrading.
After installing this patch, my email is working fine again:
