Hi there StartyBlackwater,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are no longer able to delete your emails from the Mac and have them removed from your iPhone as well. Did you possibly import your mailbox? Mailboxes imported to the Mac and then deleted emails will only be deleted from the Mac and not the server or other devices. Learn more here: Import or export mailboxes in Mail on Mac.
Another common cause would be if you created a mailbox containing those emails on the Mac and not on the server as changes or deletions would not be synced across other devices. Learn more here: Create or delete mailboxes in Mail on Mac.
We hope this helps!
