On the Gmail app I’ve set up the swipe left

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

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

Are you swiping the message itself or subject

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

Once there, change the option for "MOVE DISCARDED

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.

In the Settings app, tap Mail.
Tap Accounts.
Tap your account.
Tap your account once more.
Tap Advanced.
Select Deleted Mailbox or Archive Mailbox to send discarded
messages there.'
