El Capitan Mail Delete Issue. I am able to move emails to trash on my iPhone but when I open mail on my mac a few of the ones I deleted from my phone are still in my inbox while others have moved to trash. It is happening to my gmail and OS X Server mail accounts. Open the Apple Mail application by clicking Mail in the top menu bar.; Select the Preferences option.; Click the @ Accounts option in the top bar.; Click the 'Server Settings' tab.; Edit the Host Name fields to match your DreamHost mail server name.; To edit the Incoming/Outgoing ports, UN-check 'Automatically manage connection settings'.The 'Port' field and 'Use TLS/SSL' checkbox then appear.
