Gmail's spam filters work on the server-side, not on the email client side.
You could set up a Gmail account to go fetch your email from your email provider (set this up within the web-based Gmail) and then attach to that Gmail account with your phone. If you do this, your non-Gmail email WILL be run through the Gmail spam filters, when that email is fetched. I do this for some friends and clients who insist on keeping their comcast.net or att.net email accounts, for instance. They get another layer of spam filtering, courtesy of Gmail.
