Guys,
I have a gmail account which im checking with my iphone. I also customized my Mail on the Macbook with the same account, but for some mysterious when i delete a mail on my iphone it continues to be there when I check again my account. As if they are cannot be`synced`
 
Are you using POP or IMAP to access your GMail? This makes a difference, namely that POP deletions are only local to that machine, whereas IMAP changes affect the mail server too, and thus all machines connecting to it.
 
to be honest i dont know. i just made an account on the phone. how can i check/change wether im using POP or IMAP

PS; the gmail account is my default account if it makes difference ?
 
By default, the GMail setup on the iPhone/iPod touch uses POP. If you want to use IMAP you'll have to choose other account type and set it up manually. It DOES work though, I've tried it.
