mail wont delete

My iPad 2 had accumulated 5.4 gig of mail. To purge; I went into each email account to

1 Empty each Trash folder

2 Delete the Sent mail, then emptied the Trash folder again

3 Delete all unwanted mail in Inboxes and emptied the Trash again.

In total, the above must have deleted well over 90% of the total emails on the device.

I confirmed that no email has a large attachment.

However, the space as not been released. Actually, the amount of space reserved has increased to 5.6 gig since the purging.

What needs to be done to release the space?

I am on IOS 7.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 6.1.3
