Hello community,
I want to change settings to my google emails to move discarded messages not to the “archive mailbox”, but to the “deleted mailbox” in the “Mail” app. However, everytime i change this setting and restart the settings app, it simply goes back and nothing changes. I tried to restart my iPhone, it didn’t help. What should i do?
After selecting Deleted Mailbox, tap < Account in the top-left corner, followed by Done in the top-right corner.

If How to set Gmail to delete instead of archive in mail on iPhone and iPad doesn't work,
I suggest : remove the gmail account from your iPhone, restart your phone, then add the email account back and set it to delete instead of archive.
Oh yeah and also i have IOS 14 and still had to press <Account and then Done. I didn’t know that so again thank you for your responses!
Is this just gmail thing- that has it "hidden" for lack of better word?
(I've not use gmail but never had to go to top left, hit done, so I am so curious).
EDIT: mine goes: mail- advance-deleted-mail-done. (sorry I misunderstood. Good work!)
I don’t really know, i use 3 e-mails. One is from our czech site “seznam” and it was pre-set (i think that’s the word? i learn english at school so i’m not exactly a pro) to discard messages to the deleted messages. But my school mail was gmail and it was so annoying to search everytime for the deleted messages, because the main opinion was archive so i just went to change it. I’m so sorry if my english is chaotic, i hope it is at least understandable...
Thank you so so much!
That's got to be it. I haven't had to change it in years, so yes, probably the iOS 14 must have change it. Thanks you.
*yes make sure to update!
I think your English is good! Much better than my Czech! 🙂
Awww, thanks, well Czech is one of the hardest languages so you have an excuse 😂😂
Yes, pre-set is the word. Your English skills are perfect. I am not native English speaker and everything you said make perfect sense to me. 😀
In iOS 13 you have to press < Account to return to the previous screen where the Done button is. This might have changed in iOS 14 (I keep forgetting to upgrade!).
How to change the “move discarded messages into:” setting?
