How do I see my trash icon on my watch?

Hello KDG1234,

Thanks for posting. As I understand it, you have a question about a Trash icon on your Apple Watch.

For clarification, are you asking about the Trash icon you use to delete mail, or are you looking for something like a Trash/Deleted Messages option? On your Apple Watch, the Trash icon is used to delete mail as shown below: Manage mail on Apple Watch

"Delete, mark as unread or read, or flag a message

Open the Mail app  on your Apple Watch, tap the message, then firmly press the display to:

• Delete a message: Tap Trash.
• If you’re looking at the message list, swipe left on the message, then tap .
• Mark a message unread or read: Tap Unread or Read.
• If you’re looking at the message list, swipe right on the message, then tap the Read or Unread button.
• Flag a message: Tap Flag. (You can also unflag a message that’s already been flagged.)
• If you’re looking at the message list, swipe left on the message, then tap .
• To change the flag style, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then go to Mail > Custom > Flag Style.

If you swipe on a message thread, the action you choose (Trash, Flag, Read, or Unread) applies to the entire thread."

To answer your second question, generally speaking, deleting an email on one IMAP-type account would delete it from all other devices that share the same account.

Take care.

Settings>Passwords & Accounts. Tap on your Gmail account. Tap on "Account". Tap on "Advanced>Move Discarded Messages>Deleted Mailbox.

Also, tap on Mailbox Behaviors>Deleted Mailbox. What is checked?

Are you using Gmail? If so, depending on how you have it set up on your phone, you'll see Archive instead of Trash.

Hello KDG1234,

Thanks for replying. You mentioned you see "Unflag." You may not be able to delete a flagged message. Try unflagging it, and then see if Trash appears in place of Archive.

Cheers.

Glad you got it figured out!
