Email storage on my phone

[nanllyn]

I wanted to get my email through Google on my phone but I get some emails that I want to keep for a long time, such as recipes, but they don't need to stay on the phone. What do I do to get them off the phone without having to delete them?
I found that when I deleted them from my phone it also deleted them from my gmail online. It's great they are so synced except for wanting to keep some but not on the phone.
Thanks for your help.

archive them, it'll be removed from the list, but not permanently deleted.
