Gmail is acting as designed. Gmail actually labels each message and
doesn't actually use folders. What you think of as a folder is just all
of the messages with a certain label. The All Mail folder just contains
all of the messages you have on Gmail regardless of what label it has.
If you delete a message, archive it or move it into a folder, you'll
still see it in the All Mail folder.
Gmail doesn't delete messages right away. It add the Trash label to the
message and then deletes it in about a month. If you're seeing the
archive option and not the delete option then you need to go into
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars and double tap on your Gmail
account. Double tap on your account again and double tap on the Advanced
button at the bottom of the page. Now select deleted mailbox for your
move discarded messages into option. You'll now see the delete button at
the bottom of each message instead of the archive button.

Hi Folks,
Sorry if this has been covered on this list before, but as I haven't had a ;g
mail account, I haven't followed any of the threads discussing the use of
g-mail. I have the usual folders but I have discovered that there are a few
extra ones. I have an all mail folder and when I double tapped it, all the
mails which I thought I'd moved to the trash folder came back. Is this normal
behaviour? I am using the native email client on a 4s running ,i,o,s6.3. I do
have the g-mail app installed and I've had a look in there also. I have also
come across 2 buttons, folder and starred. Can anyone shed any light on this?
When I am in the inbox and I wish to delete an email. I can only archive it or
the other option I have got is move it to the trash folder Direct. What is the
best And quickest way to delete emails?
thanks in advance,
Take care,
Carla.
