Nov 30, 2015 8:32 AM in response to LHallby LHall,I think I found it. It's a Comcast setting. Under preferences there is a subject called "POP settings for other apps". That had somehow been changed from "keep" to "delete". I've changed it to "keep" and hopefully that fixes the problem.

Dec 1, 2015 4:23 AM in response to LHallby Smokerz,To do what you describe you need to get off of POP and set your mail for imap. There is a Comcast web page where you sign up for imap and wait three days for approval. The big difference using imap other than syncing mail to all devices is that trashing an email deletes it on all devices.

Dec 3, 2015 7:21 AM in response to Smokerzby LHall,When I changed my password, my account somehow defaulted to IMAP, so that's where they're set. Yet today, after I deleted some emails on my Macbook, then they never came through on my Mac Pro.
I actually never had this problem when everything was POP. Maybe I should try to go back to that.
