Emails deleted on one device aren't being deleted on the other device(s)

I have several email accounts - personal and business. When I delete an email from any of the accounts on either my iPhone or iMac it doesn't automatically delete it from the other device. I'm pulling out what hair I have left! What's the fix???


Thanks.

iPhone 6

maybe your mail provider setup is set to pop3 but maybe the mail provider also support imap
