Depending on your
email sync settings, your phone could either delete them from your phone* after a specific period of time or keep them forever*. Go to Settings > email+accounts > tap on the email account of concern > you'll see "Download email from". Here you can
choose the time frame within which emails are kept in your phone, e.g. if you select "the last 2 weeks" then emails older than 2 weeks will be deleted from your phone*.
*- Only from your phone, but not from your email account, i.e. you should still see all your older emails if you log-in through your browser.
