Sync Mail with ipad and computer

My mail account on my Mac mini will not delete emails now that I have a new ipad 13.4.


How do I sync the Mail accounts on different devices with my computer Mail?

iPad, iOS 13

I checked that all the email accounts on all the devices were IMAP - one on the new ipad had defaulted to POP. I deleted that account and added again as IMAP.


What I realised was that all my setting on my email accounts on my computer had changed once I linked with the new ipad. The setting were set to never delete Trash or Junk mail. Once I changed those settings the Mail I can delete emails.
