IOS 8 mail app only archives even when set to delete for gmail

iOS 8 and Gmail is behaving oddly with regard to delete and is still only archiving them. Option IS set to the delete option in the account setup and not archive. I have read the Apple guideance documents on deleting and archiving in Gmail accounts.
In iOS mail app in gmail account , long swipe left (delete), short swipe left then choose trash and short swipe and choose move to trash all have the same effect on message. The message disppears from inbox and if you look in the trash folder for the gmail account you momentarily see message as it syncs with server then the message disappears from trash folder. (looking directly at server shows message not present).
However looking at the "All mail" gmail folder shows message STILL present there.
Compare with the iOS Gmail app. Delete a message from inbox and it appears in trash folder and stays there. At this time it is also still present in the All Mail folder. Choose then to delete forever option and disappears from both Trash AND the All Mail folder.
iOS Mail app with Gmail accounts appears with the TRASH option only to move emails to trash locally but then as soon as sync with server it disappears from the Trash folder with no further action but remains in the All Folder. This is in effect an Archive. It should
work as as the Gmail iOS app - messages deleted or trashed are moved to Trash (from where they can be restored ) and remain there till deleted permantly manually or the Trash can is automatically purged after set time on server.

Seems to work properly for me. Are we looking at the same place? to instruct it to Delete instead of Archive:
In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (select account) > Account (select your e-mail address) > Advanced.
Mailbox Behavior for Deleted Mailbox: Trash.
then
Move Discarded Messages Into: Deleted Mailbox.
It wasn't this way by default. Move Discarded was Archive, and it gave the results you described. Changing that to Deleted works for me.
I set the Swipe left-to-right to Archive. So now one swipe will Archive, the other will Delete.
oooh... p.s.... this seems to work as well:

What model iPad and what iOS version is it currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Mail App 4.3 crashes when selecting individual email for reading

Does anyone have experience with this problem? Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi Ernie,
I've gone thru my applications and do not see anything that appears to be an enhancement app. I previously had Missing Synch installed (since removed). As far as plugins, I do not think I have any but do not know how to confirm that. I've looked thru Mail.app's menus and preferences, and do not see any indication of any being installed.
I don't know if I it has any bearing but under System Preferences/Other, I do have MacFuse installed.
Thanks again for the help,
Greg

I signed up for the OS X Yosemite program, but I used the apple ID for my phone and ipod. The mail app on my Mac is set up with my gmail. Will i still receive the beta program, and if not, how do I fix this?

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Is you Gmail address set up in your iCloud account as the primary? Then nothing to do.
If not, you can set it up that way, here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Or just configure iCloud on your phone or your Mac.
On the Mac, iCloud System Prefs, sign in and check the Mail checkbox.

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

IOS 7 mail app security concerns

I just witnessed something that made me very concerned about the iOS 7 Mail App security. I was changing my mail account password. (I am still stuck with a Hotmail account.) So after I changed my Hotmail account password in a desktop web browser, I was expecting to do the same on my iPhone. But, what I observed totally shocked me -- I was still able to receive and send emails from my iPhone using the Apple Mail App (that still had my old password!) for some time before the Mail app crashed and only when I restarted it, it then prompted me for a password.
Now picture a more dire situation. Someone steals my iPhone. I immediately log in to Hotmail and change my password. But the thief with my iPhone can still send and receive emails from my Hotmail account. I don't need to go any further with what this can lead to, right!

If a thief steals your phone, then hopefully you put a passcode lock on your phone, and are also using Find My iPhone.
Guys, don't lead it in the wrong direction. This is not about setting up the passcode. Obviously that is the way to protect your data. But as you probably heard from Apple themselves about half of people who use iOS devices don't have passlocks set up. At this point I'm concerned why the Mail App lets me send and receive emails with the old password?

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanks

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to that page and go off it. How do I close them? I'm sure they are draining my battery. Can someone explain what I'm doing or not doing correctly? Thanks

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

TS3899 iPhone 5s Mail app shut down automatically when try to send email

I just set up new iPhone 5s two days ago from iPhone 5.
Everything works fine except Mail app.
Due to Mail app, I had to set up new configuation instead of back up from old iPhone 5.
Mail app works fine 1 day, but after the day after, the mail app shut down automatically when try to send email.
Just one specific email account has problem. It worked fine on iPhone 5. Same setting on Pop and SMTP. Exactly same~~
- I did try to reset iPhone 5s pressing home button and sleep button for 10 second. It did not work
- I did try to reset all information and install iPhone 5s and the problem still exists.
- I did try to delete specific email account and re-make it, but it did not work
Funny thing is that if Lanuague is English, then sending email is working. Absolutely no problem.
However, if Language setting is Korean, then Mail App shut down automatically.
I'm heavy email maker and if it is very annoying.
Does anyone have same issue like this?
I believed it is iOS7 bug?
Can anyone help me on this???

Am having similar problems with a new iPad Air. It will recieve email in Mail as directd from my domain email account. It will not send, advising server does not recognise account. I have checked and re checked settings.
My computer and old iPad work perfectly. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
By the way sending email directly from the domain email account works perfectly but I prefer using Mail.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail. It was fine yesterday and just went mute today. I have Mac OSX 10.7.2 and a MacBook Air. Is there any way to fix this easily?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
Is this a common issue?
Has this been solved?

It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone. When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

IPod continuously flashes "Do not Disconnect" even when set to automatic.

iPod continuously flashes "Do not Disconnect" even though iTunes says "Update is Complete" and even when set to automatic update. It mounts both in iTunes and on the Desktop.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have alredy tried rebooting both the iPod and computer.
Thanks.

Patrick,
Welcome to the discussions.
Sounds like you've got Disk Use enabled. Try unchecking the Box "Enable Disk Use" under iTunes>Preferences>iPod Tab.
