That's more of an iPhone question than anything else... unfortunately, as far as I know, the answer is essentially what Michelle told you. You have to use the iPhone to explicitly remove the messages from the server. Unfortunately, according to what I've found with a few Google searches, that's currently impossible. For example, these folks: http://blogs.freshlogicstudios.com/Posts/View.aspx?Id=44a01293-3b32-4ee0-b23c-fac99348e1cd have created an extra utility just for expunging messages. Of course, the utility has to be run from a desktop (Windows) machine. An alternative is to simply convince mutt to hide these messages from you, which you can do using limit. But it might be simpler to simply have mutt do an automatic sync whenever it enters a mailbox, e.g.: folder-hook .
