mail across multiple devices

I have my mail account linked to my iPhone , iMac and iPad but I have to delete messages from all 3 devices which is time consuming and a pain. How can I set up so that deleting from my phone (most commonly used device) will delete emails from all 3 devices at the same time ?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.6

The email account needs to be configured as an IMAP or Exchange mail account in order to synchronize changes between the server and all clients.

POP3 accounts do not support synchronizing changes.
