Trash Function in Mail

For some reason I can no longer swipe to delete messages on apple mail. I’m only seeing an archive option. How do I get this back?

Mail on new ipadpro No icon for trash appears to make it easy to delete messages. Sliding gives option of Archive but not Delete. I am familiar with Mail on a MacBook Air and would like the ipadpro mail app to behave similarly. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Missing deleted email messages in Trash folder I suddenly can't see any email messages I've deleted using the trashcan icon (delete) in my mail's Trash folder. It only works if I drag a message to the Trash folder. I have checked the box in "mailbox behaviors" to send discarded messages to Trash.

Mail app now has Archive rather than Trash Suddenly when I swipe to the left on an email in the list view it says Archive. It has said Trash or Delete forever. How do I change it back?
