Can I delete an email on my iPhone and it will be deleted on my Mac computer? If not how can I do that so I do not have to continuously go to both to delete messages?

Make sure the email account is configured as IMAP on the server and on all devices accessing the email account. IMAP configured emails are synchronized across all devices accessing the account.
