However on the Apple Mail app there is no Delete option for swiping left or
right. There’s also no Delete button on the toolbar! I must click the three
little dots to finally find the Trash message option.

I'm sorry, but there most certainly is a swipe option to delete.

Those links opened up on my phone,  it they don’t open up on my desktop

there is no Delete option.

Are you swiping the message itself or subject header in the inbox? At least
in my app, selecting the subject header in the inbox and swiping left shows
a delete option.

Did you look at the screenshots in postimg? It clearly shows I don’t have a
delete option. And neither does the bottom toolbar within the message
itself.

Ah, finally.

Your issue is that there is a choice to be made for each email account
to either trash or archive emails when you swipe to "delete" them.

Go to Settings:Mail:Acccounts:<account involved>:Account:Advanced

Once there, change the option for "MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO:" from

Your instructions finally game me a Delete option when swiping left and on

In the Settings app, tap Mail.

 TBF it is rather buried and it's odd that different mail accounts have
different default behaviours. I have gmail and non-gmail accounts with only
the latter defaulting to delete.
 

Oh, I agree it's buried.
But it is inherently dishonest to come to a group looking for answers when the actually answer was so easily found.
