It is deleted from the server only, it stays on your devices, and is also synced to new device when you add one.

Where did you see this? Or just learned from experience?

Cannot find it now, but that's how it was discussed at the time when chatmail server became a thing. It is also how it is configured in chatmail:

You obviously must trust that the server runs this configuration, but you can always run your own chatmail, or regular postfix. (If you don't need "federation" with other mail servers, you don't even need port 25 open).

However, you can also configure your app to delete messages from the server sooner.
