I assume you are using outlook exchange for your work email?
If so, there is a setting within the account for the outlook exchange account on the phone to sync sms messages. Un tick that and the messages should stop going into your work email.

What about the ones that WERE already sync'd? Do they stay on the server? They don't show in my inbox, but when I delete an actual email they pop up. How do I find them...I HAVE TO DELETE THEM!!!
 
I think they were talking about SMS not emails. For emails, if you set it up as a premium account, then deleting the emails on your phone would mean the emails in the server will be deleted as well...

Same situation on a Samsung Galaxy s3 synced to our office
Exchange Server.

My solution:
press "Email" icon
press Menu button
scroll menu to bottom and press "Settings"

press your exchange account to open settings for the account
scroll to the bottom and look for "Sync SMS"
uncheck "Sync SMS"
"Changing SMS settings" will flash briefly
back out of the settings or press the home button and you should be done. Worked for me.
I had some screen shot links to post, but new users are not
allowed to post links or images. Perhaps at a later date...

So, in my scenario, my incoming texts are getting into my email. I want a copy of the outgoing in my email as well.

Is there a way to set this?

So on my SII I
press Menu button
scroll menu to bottom and there is no "Settings"
I try on "Account settings" but I only see "General preferences" no SMS.
I try on "Sync options" and only see "Peak sched..", "Off Peak.." "Period to sync email". And that is is!!!
This only started happening recently. If I go to accounts I get the same screens. Please HELP!!!
