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.

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

Once there, change the option for "MOVE DISCARDED

Your instructions finally game me a Delete option when

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

You seem to be confused as to the purpose of these newsgroups.  We are
here to help each other and find solutions to problems.  It's not to
argue with people and call each other names constantly.

I had an issue with my Mail app so I asked a question of the group.
Some people tried to help but didn't know the answer.  You took the
extra step and researched it and provided the solution.  I expressed my
gratitude for your help.  You then mocked me for not researching it
myself.  Is this the way you help other people too?
