Good day balletplus,


You do not mention what type of email account you are using, but the behavior you are describing would be normal for a POP (Post Office Protocol) account. A POP account is not kept synced between devices such as your MacBook Air and iPhone. Other email systems such as iCloud or IMAP do sync between devices. See this article for information about different email account types - Mail (Yosemite): email accounts


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Safe computing.

I have this same problem all the time, I delete on macbook but they aren't deleted , it's only happened on latest edition of mavericks for me? so prob need update fix. I can even delete on my macbook, change selecctions and then they're all back. It's just apple going to **** these days unfortunately. Delete on my iphone very easily using gmail.
