Why can't I delete email messages on my iPad?

Hi. I use Gmail through Mail on my ipad. The thing is when I swipe right to delete an email, the only option available is "archive". How can I delete and not archive? Also, what is "archive" what does it do?
Thanks.

  • Why can't I delete email messages from ipad3

    Sometimes I can, other times not.  Rebooting sometimes helps.  Last time I had to remove the mail account and reinstall it,  This is not an Apple account

  • HT1430 why can't I send emails via my iphone & ipad?

    Why can't I send emails from my iphone & ipad? Everything worked fine last night, but I updated my software yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been having the same problem with one of several email accounts on one iPad2 and one iPhone5.  It has been driving me crazy.  I have deleted and reinstalled the email accounts more times than I can count and was ready to throw the device out the window.  However I just found a post from another user who stated that they were able to solve this problem by confirming that the outgoing mail server password was corrected.  Apparently they found that after an upgrade the old password was retained by the server.  I had never checked this because it's a few extra steps to get into the outgoing mail server.  When I did I found that it was incorrect.  Once changed, I was able to send the email again.  Problem solved!  Also I agree that the other user was rude in commenting to you the way that he/she did.  Hope this helps you

  • Why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini since iOS 8 update? Every time I try to delete an old mailbox that I added it boots me right out of mIl completely. I want to clean up and get rid of old unused mailboxes?

    why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini after the ios8 update?

    The mail app is crashing on you for some reason. Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Why can't I delete individual messages on either my iPad or my Mac when I can on mt iPhone?

    Why is it that I can delete individual messages on iPhone, but can only delete the entire messages to any one contact on my Mac & iPad?

    Hi,
    On the Mac version try Control Clicking the individual messages concerned.
    I am not sure why you iPad is reacting differently from your other iOS device.

  • TS3899 hi - why can't i delete emails once from iphone and ipad at the same time?

    When I delete emails from the iphone they still appear in the ipad. Why? How can I delete from both devices at the same time?

    You can and it should be automatic depending on your refresh rate.  If your phone and iPad refresh every hour, or only on request, then the iPad will not show the change until you refresh the email account.
    Next time you delete emails, try it....Refresh the screen on the iPad.
    This only works if iPad has internet connection.

  • Why can't I delete voice messages?

    I can't permanently delete my voice messages. They keep coming back

    Which carrier are you using?   Voice mail is a carrier feature.
    You may need to manualy check your mail the old way, and delete all of them off the server.    Google your carrier's website for instructions.

  • Why can't i send text messages with my iPad

  • Why can I not send mms messages on my iPad???

    I can't send mms messages on my I pad???

    Not likely,
    An ipad is not a cellular phone even if it has a cellular module, that module is for data only so sms/mms messaging is not available to an ipad with using a third party app that transfers the messages from voip to cellular phone networks.
    So messages on an ipad is an Apple only protocol and only works to other Apple users that have also registered their devices with messages, attempting to send to a user with a different device (android for example) will simply fail.
    Here is a support article for trouble shooting messages:

  • Why can I send a text message from my iPad mini from my contacts?

    I try to send a text message from my contact list on my ipad mini ,
    the contact name comes up in pink.....Can you tell me why?

    Hi,
    Because you are choosing an Contact ID (iPhone Number or Apple ID) that is either not registered or currently unavailable.
    A iPhone away from WiFi connection may also be out of range of it's Cell/mobile Service. (Or Switched Off or in Airplane Mode).
    An iPad may not be on a Wifi Network  at present. (or run out of Power)
    You may know a Buddy's email and it may also be an Apple ID but that does not mens that they have "registered" it for iMessages.

  • Why can't I delete rented movies on my ipad after watching?

    I've watched the movie I'm done with it and it's still there taking up space. I want it off my ipad!

    I was able to remove the expired movie by repeatedly pressing on the play button and the icloud symbol to download or play the expired movie. Itunes asked a few times for my username/password and after a few attempts at persistent pressing of the try to play or download the expired movie and being challenged a few times for my iTunes credentials, the movie cleared from my iCloud movies and the Rentals option disappeared from my iPad. Hopefully some of this persistent approach forces the cache on your device to sync up with iTunes and clears the expired movie for you. Good luck!
