What steps do I take to delete email from my iPhone and it’s deleted on all devices in Gmail. It works across all devices if I delete through gmail on the web but not if I delete from iPhone inbox. Thanks
iPhone 4s, iOS 9
Go to Settings/Mail/Accounts, tap on the account, and make sure it does NOT say POP ACCOUNT. If it does, delete the account, restart your phone, and add it back.
And note that when you delete an email on the phone that action is synced to the mail server, so you need an internet connection when you delete mail.

Thanks for replying. It doesn’t say POP ACCOUNT. It’s SMTP if that’s relevant. If I go into ‘advanced’, there’s an option to ‘move discarded messages’ to ‘Deleted mailbox’ which is not checked. Should I check this?
thanks
Yes, check that. Sorry I didn’t think of that!
Thanks so much. It works perfectly. Couldn’t have worked it out without your suggestion.
