Is anyone else running into this?

Old mail remains in Watch Mail long after it's been cleared out on iPhone Mail.
I have four (4) e-mail addresses in my iPhone: 2 Gmail, 1 Cloud, and 1 Exchange.
I've tried turning off all but the iCloud address both in watch app, and on iPhone mail itself yet the issue persists.

I've discovered that if I delete said duplicate on the watch, the duplicate Inbox message does not populate on iOS or macOS (Mail) in the trash folder but simply disappears; moreover, Mail (watchOS) does not create a duplicate in the Trash or delete the otherwise archived/moved e-mail.

If I move/archive/trash e-mail exclusively from my iPhone, the issue does not appear to happen; it's only if the e-mail is moved/archived/deleted from macOS, iCloud.com, etc.
