UGH!!!! Why do my emails remain on ALL devices???

Recently COX disabled my email account. It has since been fixed but now when I receive emails on my iphone 6 and I bring up my COX account on my iMAC the emails stay on both my iPhone, COX server. Before whenever I would bring up my email on my iMAC it would delete them from the COX server and my iPhone. I want that capability back!!! Right now it remains on ALL of my devices and whenever I delete one on one device it deletes them from ALL of my devices. I just want it kept on my iMAC. How do I fix this????

@Emails on multiple devices

It sounds like what you currently have setup is IMAP on all of your devices.  With this setup the devices make the changes on the server which will show on all other devices.  Many people in this situation find that simply moving items you want to keep into dedicated folders instead of trying to delete them on a single device works best.  You could however setup the iMac to use POP3 protocol instead however this will cause inconsistencies with your email.
