Exchange Mail Account – Permanent Delete Email Message

When in MS Windows and Outlook I can hit **** Delete on a message to permanently delete an email message. I can’t seem to find a way to permanently and exchange attached email in my IOS devices. I can only delete and have the message moved to the Deleted folders item.


Thoughts?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.2

I don't have my work device in front of me, but have you checked Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Exchange "Advanced" and navigating to the section that states what to do with deleted messages folder? You may be able to adjust so it deletes within 24 hours. I know this can depend on your particular exchange service sometimes, so you may not have options, but I would give it a look.
