If the email account is a corporate email account, there may be a profile installed on your iPhone. To delete this profile tap Settings > General > Profile.Tap the Profile and then tap Remove Profile.
On your Android phone or tablet, open your device's Settings app and then Google and then Manage your Google Account. At the top, tap 'Data & personalization'. Under 'Download, delete, or make a plan for your data', tap Delete a service or your account.
Go to Settings > General > Profiles or Profiles & Device Management,* then tap the app's configuration profile. Then tap Delete Profile. If asked, enter your device passcode, then tap Delete.
To delete your work profile: Go to Settings > Accounts > Remove work profile. Tap Delete to confirm the removal of all apps and data within your work profile.
Changes you make on your iPhone with a POP email account don't affect the emails anywhere else. So you can delete an email on your iPhone, but have it remain on the server and still be available on your computer.
The only way to delete emails from all your devices at once is to set up each device with your provider's IMAP server. That way, you can log in to any device that has direct server access via IMAP (your tablet, phone, or computer) and delete emails there.
If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out. Tap Sign Out again, then tap Delete from My [device] and enter your Apple ID password. Then go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > Sign Out.
