why does my ipad delete emails from my partners iphone

When I delete an email from our joint account, it deletes it from my partner's iphone, even though my settings say "delete from server never"

If you're using an IMAP email account (like Apple's iCloud email), it synchronizes email across devices. So, delete from one device and it removes it from all other devices using that account. Delete from Server Never just means there's no expiration date. When you manually delete something, that overrides that option.

Need separate email accounts.
