    Unless the e-mail accounts are icloud based.  i.e they end in @icloud.com, then  no deleting them from the Mac will not keep them in iCloud as they are not there in the first place.

     

    You should still be able to access them through their respective Web Mail clients though.

     

    If they are iCloud.com based, then yes you can remove them form the Mac and they can be accessed through http://icloud.com by logging into each account there.
