I'm working up these following from an iPhone but the steps should be very similar for iPad:


  1. Navigate to the Trash or Archive mailbox
  2. Tap "Select" in the upper right
  3. Tap the selection circle to the left of each message you wish to move
  4. Tap "Move" at the bottom of the screen
  5. Tap the "Inbox" or other mailbox where you would like to move the messages
