Hi - I have an iPhone X, iPad Pro 12.8 and an iMac M1 Monterey 12.0.1 - when I delete emails on my iPad or iPhone -they immediately delete on the other. Unfortunately, this is not the case on my iMac - I still need to go through all my emails and delete. How do I sync them all? Thanks!
iMac 24″, macOS 12.0

hmm...
Do you have the iMac set up as IMAP as well...?
check >System Preferences>AppleID>iCloud
You can try signing out of iCloud and back in again:
Sign out of iCloud Mac
Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support
Sign into iCloud
Sign in and use iCloud.com - Apple Support
For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account, then add it back.
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac
Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Note—
• IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync
• POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them
• "On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss

Thank you - that was the problem. My desktop was not using Cloud for mail since my Cloud is always full and I can't figure out how to clear it of unnecessary items to free up space.
