Here, this sounds like info@ is a 'list'...

IMAP protocol is where mail is stored on the SERVER... yes, when an IMAP
client connects, a COPY is downloaded locally for reading, but the
server retains the main/working copy.

It sounds like all of them are simply talking to the same IMAP account
(info@) - in which case, that's the way IMAP works. If multiple people
are connecting to the same account (or shared folder) over IMAP, and one
person deletes a message, it is deleted for all...

Sounds like you want POP accounts, not IMAP...
