On your main computer, do you have Mail set to remove read messages from the server?

I use imap and typically read most of my email on my desktop pc but for some reason, even though I delete them as I read them on my desktop, they still remain on my iDevices so as a result, I sometimes have hundreds of emails in my IOS inboxes. Do I have something setup incorrectly perhaps?
