Since this is definitely a Google/Gmail issue you might want to call Google
Accessibility via the Be My Eyes app and ask for advice.

This may be a
gmail question not a voice over question. Dismiss it if you think it
inappropriate for the list.
I've been going through the "ALL" folder and getting rid of all the mail I
thought was deleted but never has been. Everything is in there including notes
and they date back to 2017, which was when I set up the g mail account on my
iPhone.
All was going well until suddenly all the mail from the All folder
wound up in my In box. I don't remember saying move all to the In box but that
is the only thing I can figure out happened when I told it to move a few of the
posts back to the in box.
Someone told me that there is a way from the phone to tell gmail to
delete all deleted mail from the server but I can't find it anywhere in
settings on the actual phone. My guess that if this is even possible it must be
done from gmail on the internet.
In settings I see a place to turn off notes and calender which I take to mean
notes and calaender appointments will remain on the phone but there will be no
back up that I can access in the archive or All folder which I"m not sure means
it will never show up anywhere in ether space. Is that a correct assumption?
I picked up a cheapphone from Consumer Cellular and left it on the original
apple account which means if I cloud is on everything from my old phone starts
to get transferred over. I've turned backup and the drive off because I do not
want all that old gmail on the new phone. Same with not wanting Outlook on the
new phone either because it too never truly deletes everything you've deleted.
I intend to move everything over from the old phone which is still functional
for the most part but has a different number, when the new phone gets unlocked
in 180 days or so, I will move my T Mobile chip to the new phone and ditch the
consumer cellular service. I would have no problem keeping it other than I have
a free lifetime t Mobile account through a family member and I do not want to
give that up. I would in fact recommend CC for anyone who wants to look into a
more affordable option. I bought a new 6S for $150 which some may laugh at but
it's more than adequate for now until I find the need to replace it with
something with more memory. It's running 13_ and qualifies for the newest
updates and there is no hitch with it's performance. I wil switch it over to
Spanish and run it on wi-fi alone once I buy another new phone somewhere down
the line.
Any suggestions how to once and for all get mail off the server so it does not
download to other devices? I did a google search and the only useful thing I
found before losing patience was to go into the All folder and get rid of what
is in there.
I hope all are hanging in there with social distancing and recovering from
being sick or trying to prevent getting sick. I'm taking this time to clean up
my computer and files on the phone and generally things are busy as ever due to
the fact that communication through this technology is running smoothly.
