Hello Pheasant Plucker,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. Deleting emails across devices depends on the type of email server you are using. If you are using an IMAP server, they should delete across all devices regardless of settings. More info on that can be found here: Mail - Official Apple Support


Using that you can search you email address and ensure what kind of server you are using. If using a POP server, it will only delete on the device it was deleted on.


If you are using iCloud mail, mail will delete across all devices when deleted on one.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
