To delete archived email, open the archive folder then slide the individual email to the left and select Trash. You can also use the Edit feature to select then delete more than one at a time.

iOS Mail App - Stop archiving emails? How do I stop Mail on iOS v16.6 from automatically archiving emails? I will see emails appear in my inbox then after a couple seconds they disappear. This is maddening. I very often need to reply to these emails, sometimes not immediately, but when I have time. After searching I found that they are being automagically archived for some inexplicable reason. I then have to go to my computer in order to find and reply to them. In the Advanced settings for iOS Mail (per email account) there are only two options: Archive or Delete. I want neither. Just leave my mail alone please. I cannot fathom the logic of randomly hiding email messages. It's nonsensical. And yes others are having this problem as well (I searched without finding a solution). This "feature" renders the mail app almost worthless, maybe worse than worthless because people may miss important emails without even knowing it.
