First off, it would be better to start a new discussion rather than replying to a message that is now 2 1/2 years old.


When you open Mail if you are seeing your Inbox press the back button in the upper left. It will look something like:


<iCloud


From there you will see your Mailboxes. If you select iCloud toward the top of the list it will just take you to the Inbox again. Look toward the bottom and you should see iCloud listed in a shaded area. Once you click on that you should see all your folders, inbox, sent, junk, trash, etc.

Hi glorraine,

Happy Holidays!

The resource below will explain how to erase email messages in your iCloud email account, and how to empty the Trash mailbox. I've included the key information below. Click on the link for full details.

iCloud: Reduce email storage space

Erase messages using your iOS device

On an iOS device set up for iCloud Mail, you can free up iCloud storage space by permanently erasing iCloud email messages in the Mail app.


  1. Delete messages, which moves them to the Trash, by doing any of the following:

    • Delete a message that’s open: Tap User uploaded file.

    • Delete a message without opening it: Swipe from the right to left over the message title in the message list, then tap Trash.

    • Delete multiple messages: While viewing the message list, tap Edit.

  2. To permanently erase all messages in the Trash and free up iCloud storage space, tap Trash in the list of iCloud mailboxes, tap Edit, then tap Delete All.

Cheers!
