How to delete emails on an iPhone

The best and most professional way to communicate with your friends, colleagues, or even family members is via email. While instant messaging does give us a more personal and real-time experience of communication, the more formal exchanges are better executed via email. In an earlier tutorial, we showed you how to set up an email mailbox on the iPhone, and its a fact that once you start using the email feature, very soon, your mailbox will be overloaded with emails, and sometimes, it so happens that you run out of space, and actually stop receiving emails until you clear out some memory.

The best way to clear out unnecessary emails is to delete them from the mailbox and then from the trash, an operation that can be accomplished very easily, on the iPhone. Let’s now take a look at how you can delete emails on an iPhone.
