On iphone 3GS I have iOS version 4.1 running. The thing is when I swipe a mail in my Gmail account on iPhone, it always displays the Archive button. So, to delete some mail in my inbox I always have to open the mail, use the Move to button to move it to Trash.

In Yahoo email account and other accounts however, it displays a Delete button on swiping on a mail.

How can I set Gmail to show Delete button on swiping?

Regards

  • Go to the iPhone Home screen.
  • Open Settings.
  • Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  • Open the desired Gmail account under Accounts.
  • Make sure Archive Messages is OFF.

To make swiping archive mail (and remove it from the current folder, but keep it under "All Mail"), make sure Archive Messages is ON.
