Hi Stuart I have my Mail mail account setup using IMAP, which it sounds like your me.com etc might be too. Check in Mail.app accounts and see if it says IMAP or POP.
Anyway, if I read or delete an email on one device, then it shows up as read, or deleted, on my other devices. This only works if you have set up your email to use IMAP. One thing tho is that this only works for things left in your Inbox, or Sent, or Deleted, or Drafts - accounts that are stored on the server. However IF you have transferred an email into an 'ON MY MAC' folder in Mail, then you can't read, delete or anything with it from another device.
