I just googled this. To get a delete button: 1. Go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars, and double tap your gmail account. 2. Find the switch button called "archive messages". Double tap it to turn it off. 3. Now, in mail, that archive button will be delete, and messages you select for deletion will go to the trash folder. 4. While you're in here, check out the other options. Use the "check for mail" to select when mail gets updated, and so on. There is a mail preview option, which shows part of the message on the screen. It isn't accessible (vo just skips it) so turn this off if you want to fit more messages on each page.
I'm really glad you asked this, because I never knew about it. I no longer have to go through three steps to trash messages, it's a quick double tap! Thanks.
