Jessica, I sent you an answer earlier this evening on the other long mail thread that was going. One thing for sure, if you plan to read your mail on both your iPhone and on the mac, then by all means use IMAP and not POP3! Especially with gmail, my suggestions of creating special labels and filters on the gmail site cannot be done when using POP. Frankly, POP just plain sucks; it is too limitted in functionality. Only good thing about POP is you can fetch all your mail ans slirp it down to a single local box and process it further on that local machine. I don't see you doing this sort of thing. Change your gmail settings and your clients to use IMAP and leave your mail on the server. the clients will download copies of the mail as needed but then from theere you can move them to the Trash folder like you have been doing. In this case, the Trash folder is on gmail's servers and will be automatically purged from time to time and none of that trash or deleted mail will reside on your local devices.
