On my iPhone I primarily use Gmail app to read and manage my two Gmail
accounts. Sometimes I use the Apple Mail app.
 
On the Gmail app I’ve set up the swipe left option to delete a message.
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.
 
Why is this and how do I expand the swipe options to allow a delete action?

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

 
Not on my phone….

Those links opened up on my phone,  it they don’t open up on my desktop
browser. Here’s another link to a different photo hosting site. Notice
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.
 

 
The header in the inbox. Do you have a Gmail account?
 
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.
 
 

 
Here’s a picture of the toolbar:

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
"Archive Mailbox" to "Deleted Mailbox"
 

Your instructions finally game me a Delete option when swiping left and on
the toolbar. They made that really difficult to find. It didn’t have to be
that complicated.

Thank you.
