Hi William, I have exactly this set up. I use Google Mail which is set to imap with only inbox stored on the server. I read mail on both my iPhone and my iMac. Using my iPhone I delete mail items which require no further action and these are also deleted from my iMac. If a mail item needs a complicated reply I leave it in the inbox on my iPhone so that it appears in the inbox on my iMac from where I can answer it. If I delete mail from my iMac it does not appear on my iPhone. Best wishes.....
