Any way not to delete IMAP mails from the server after deleting them from my mac or iPhone?

I think you misunderstand IMAP.

IMAP keeps all the messages on the server. That is literally how it works.

The server is point-of-truth for your mailbox, which is why IMAP supports multiple client devices (such as desktop, phone, tablet) connecting to the same mail account and seeing a consistent view.

Not sure what you're trying to do by deleting messages from your Mac/iOS device but still having the message on the server.

Thanks

Sorry your don't, that is how IMAP work.

OR you can ask your email provider what options you have.
