As well as a desk top computer with Thunderbird, I also get emails on my two ipads. How do I stop emails being deleted on the other computers when it is deleted on any one of them?

That's the design of IMAP accounts, keeping the account in sync across all usage of account. You could set all three as POP accounts, but then they will get out of sync eventually.
