Hello jlykins78,
Here are some steps to help:
• Are you finding the issue is only when deleted on your iPhone, or does the same thing happen when deleting from another device?
• When you receive an email on one device, do you also receive the email on your other devices?
• If you delete an email from the email providers webmail, do you see the deletion on your other devices also?
• Make sure each device is connected to the internet by cellular data, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet cable, so that the email server can contact the device to sync any changes.
These questions can help to determine where the issue may be originating, which can help to resolve the issue.
Once you determine where the disconnection is from, you'll also want to check the email settings to make sure each email account on each device is set up properly. The email set-up tool, on this page, Mail - Official Apple Support, can help to determine all settings are correct.

For additional assistance, verify with your email provider.
Take care!
Hello! What email provider are you using? For example, is it an iCloud email, Google account, etc? (Please do not share your full email address here).
I ask because the type of email account you have can determine how you access your email.
Looking forward to hearing back to you!
