First may I recomend that you reconfigure your mac GMAIl to use IMAP. Otherwise, when you delete from one system it may not delete from the other.
Now on to the IOS issue... 1. By default GMAIL does not delete, but archives e-mails. I am not sure if this is important for you, but when you archive a message it is still in gmail, but not in any folder/tag. There is an option to change this in the IOS 5 Mail settings. I believe it is a check box. If you don't do this then the swipe you are performing is probably just archiving the message and not moving it to the "bin" folder. To delete multiple threads... 1. Near the top right of the list of messages is a "edit" button. Tap this button and then select the set of messages you want to perform an action on. Then at the bottom will be "Delete N ", , "Move N", and "Mar N" where N is the number of messages selected. Just tab the appropriate button and complete the action if necessary.
