Nothing strange about setting it up. Select other, then put in your details such as incomming mail server and username and password. Some places you use whole email address as username. Outgoing mail server would be from your phone provider.
Any specific problems? Reply back with error and ill help.

So you email address is something like firstname.lastname@email.com?

Who is your network provider for the iphone? O2? Vodafone? 3?

Can you not simply sync with iTunes, having ticked sync all mail accounts?

Sending email
iPhone works with almost all web-based and desktop email clients. If, after setting up your email on your iPhone, you can receive but not send email, try using the Vodafone mail server:
Vodafone Mail SMTP
Host name mail.vodafone.ie
User Name
Password
Use SSL Off
Authentication none
Server port 25

When I delete emails on iPhone they're still on pc, and vice versa. Is there any way to ensure that one deletion will work across both devices?

Tap Settings on the iPhone Home screen.
Now tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the desired account under Accounts.
Select Advanced.
Now tap Delete from server under Incoming Settings.
Select:
Seven days to have iPhone Mail remove mail from the server a week after it has been downloaded.
When removed from Inbox to make iPhone Mail delete mail from the server only when you delete it from your iPhone Mail inbox.
Never to keep copies of all messages on your POP server.
Press the Home button.

Yes, see if your mail provider supports IMAP and set up the account on all devices to use that.
