Q: How can gmail go to Trash NOT Archive?

Another option is to use Google's Gmail app. I find it much better than the iOS Mail app.

Dec 11, 2012 10:23 AMby Hotkey,A) please note paragraph 4 link to that exact instruction and I state my settings do NOT list Archive On/Off! I note that if I have Gmail set up with a Gmail account type, rather than Exchange account type then it DOES show up but I'm not sure I'm losing functionality without Exchange type setup.
B) I have tried the Gmail ap but it does not support UNthreaded view which is the only way I can work efficiently with Gmail. So until it does (was hoping it would with recent 2.0 version!) I'll stick with iOS ap.

So, I'm still asking my original question which is "How can I get Trashed mail (Using the Trash Can icon) to actually go to Trash and not archive in All Mail with my Exchange iOS mail set up for my GMail IMAP account?".
I hope there is a solution.
