Delete a message
Deleting a message moves it to your deleted items folder, so it’s still on

Do one of the following:
• In the message list: Throw the message off the side of the screen and
tap Delete.
• In an open message: Tap and tap Delete.
To avoid deleting a message accidentally, you can turn the Delete
Confirmation preference on (see Set email preferences). If you do
accidentally delete a message, you can move it back to the original folder

device permanently, delete it from the deleted items folder. To delete all
messages from the deleted items folder, open the application menu while
in the folder, tap Empty Trash, and then tap Empty Trash again.

email preferences. To add any other email folder to Favorites, see Add an
email folder as a favorite.

preferences).
TIP If you change the folder where you store deleted messages for an IMAP
account (see Enter advanced account settings), deleting messages from the
folder removes them from your device.
