If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Worked for me! I set the trash to the server's trash and all is well. Thanks 🙂

Turned accoount off and back on as suggested and it worked. Took seconds. Many thanks.

I've found that quitting Mail and resetting the iPad will resolve these problems. Hopefully it'll work for you too.

Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I tried these steps but could not solve the problem. I never could do the final step as I could not find the place where it said On The Server

Thanks for solution.

Thanks for all your responses. I appreciate your efforts. Hopefully someone with a Microsoft Exchange account has a solution.

For me this is one fishing email from "apple" that won't go to the trash.

As simple as it was the first step worked perfectly on I phone 7 running iOS 10.3.3

So simple, thank you King-Penguin, it's been driving me crazy for ages. 😀

Was able to do it just by deleting the email account and adding it again. 😉
