Gmail for iOS 5

[JackB03]

I just added my gmail account and received all my emails. As I try to delete them, it gives me the option to "archive" instead of "delete"???

What is this? Where do they go? How do I delete emails?

Thanks,
Jack

That's the way Gmail works. Everything is archived instead of deleted.

So how I delete them?

I setup my gmail as exchange server and it will work the best...

Then you can delete, see the link below.

I have not set my Gmail up under exchange, but I now have a "delete" option, "move" option, and "mark" option when I edit my Gmail. It was not there before (I had the "archive" option) and I don't know when it changed! I have an iPhone4 with iOS5. One day last week, I was "locked" out of Gmail for some reason (would not accept my password) and had to do some searching to find a link to "unlock" my account. Maybe something was going on then?

If you go into Gmail under "Accounts" instead of the "Inbox" you will see all of your folders for Gmail, including Trash.
