Mail problems: cannot delete mail, keeps reappearing in inbox

Please help. I have deleted the same messages 100 times and they keep reappearing in my inbox. I know this question has been posted before but I do not think I need to reinstall all of my email accounts. I'd like to learn if there is a different solution, if it is related to me using both computer and iphone for email. It does not seem to happen on iphone, only computer. Thanks

I'm reasonably certain the Trash for that account is not pointing to the Server's Trash, but perhaps Trash On My |Mac or elsewhere...


Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to?
