Thanks for your clear, concise directions on how to delete email from iPad. Every message I deleted since 2010 wound up in the email file titled 'Important'. So I deleted all of them, over 1,000, only to find they had all migrated to the Inbox. That is when I read your instructions about going to Advanced, etc. I only wish I knew how to send more than one at a time to Trash.


Thank you for your help.
