Since updating to iOS 14 I can’t delete mail on my phone. I’ve tried swiping left and clicking delete from the list view and also going to the email itself and clicking on the trash icon. Neither works. It has nothing to do with my mail server, as I am easily able to delete emails on my Mac.

I just had the same issue, it’s seems to be something to do with verifying your email account and it’s easy to fix.
Go to: Settings > Mail > Accounts, select the appropriate account. Select “Re-Enter Password” and then enter the password for that account.
The password can also be found in settings if you’ve saved it on your phone.

iOS 14 is ****! They’ve messed up the notepad, calendar and I’m having to input passwords for email accounts every time I want to access them. I’ve missed important work emails because of this and my workflow is totally disrupted. Is something actually better-that is useful?
I can't delete emails on my new iPhone 12. They keep coming back immediately.
I am on IOS 14.3 and don’t have the option to re-enter password... this is an outlook live account
I am having the same problem trying to delete emails from my Inbox. I am on IOS 14.4. Re-entering password didn’t resolve problem.
Deleted mail isn’t deleted., what can I do? Is it ah inherently an Apple or iPhone problem? Do I need a differed program? Or a different computer?
thank you
best regards,

glad I could help.
just a small point I’ve discovered, for some reason it doesn’t seem to retain the password or sign in automatically.
I’ve had to re-enter the password most days; I’m hoping that gets fixed by a future update.
@andytomcho @kcalgary
same. but it only just started yesterday with my email.
i’m on v14.4, apple email, iphone 8+.
i’ve played apple’s software game for 3 decades.
v 13 & 14 have pretty much destroyed any remaining confidence in apple software.

Steve 1878,,,,,, thank you for your information on how to help me with deleting emails as you said it was so simple,, thanks again
What mail service are you using?
Then I guess you will be shopping for a new smartphone from another company. Good luck to you.
I delete emails in the Outlook on my "Non-Apple" laptop, so far the only way that I've found to clean it up.
