I use imap mail on an iPhone and Macbook. Sierra on the Macbook and OS 10.10.1 on iPhone.

I use pop mail on an iMac. OS 10.11.6 set up to remove from server after one month (in preferences, checked the 'remove from server after retrieving message' box and selected 'after one month')

Email is via Cox.net .... before I switched the phone and Macbook to imap emails remained on the server.

I was hoping to be able to clean mail from the phone and Macbook but later have it download on the iMac via the pop accounts but when I delete mail from an imap account it removes it from the server.

Anyway to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.
