Apple mail behavior Archive/Delete not consistent

My different apple mail inboxes are showing different swipe behavior. Even though that when I check Settings > Mail > Swipe options, these setting only show one behavior.

Hi nicolasmertens,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're seeing different swipe options for different mail accounts. You can set Trash or Archive as the default option for an account. This article explains how: Delete emails on your iPhone or iPad.


"Set Trash or Archive as your default option

Depending on the type of email account you have, you might see Archive instead of Trash when you try to delete emails. You can edit where your deleted messages go in your Mail settings:

  1. In the Settings app, tap Mail.
  2. Tap Accounts.
  3. Tap your account.
  4. Tap your account once more.
  5. Tap Advanced.
  6. Select Deleted Mailbox or Archive Mailbox to send discarded messages there."


We hope this helps.


Take care.
