Hey bobwindom,
I can see from your post that you're unable to delete emails from your device. I understand the importance of managing emails directly from your phone and want to help. If this account is an IMAP account not setup automatically, please go to : Settings -> Account & password -> Select the concerned email account -> click on the account -> Advanced -> Deleted Mailbox -> confirm the mailbox is properly selected. Once you have verified this, mark the messages you want deleted as unread using these steps:
If you delete them from the web and they still appear on your device, then you'll want to remove the account from your Settings app and set it up again. The link below can show you how.
If you can’t send or receive emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Regards
