Flag or unflag a message
When you flag a message, a

TIP You can set a preference to show all flagged emails in a single folder, called All Flagged, at the top of the Account List panel (see Set email preferences).
Delete a message
Deleting a message moves it to your deleted items folder, so it’s still on your device. Depending on your email account, this folder is called Deleted Items, Deleted, Trash, or something else.
Do one of the following:
•In the message list: Throw the message off the side of the screen and tap Delete.
•In an open message: Tap 
and tap Delete.
To avoid deleting a message accidentally, you can turn the Delete Confirmation preference on (see Set email preferences). If you do accidentally delete a message, you can move it back to the original folder (see Move a message to another folder). To remove a message from your device permanently, delete it from the deleted items folder. To delete all messages from the deleted items folder, open the application menu while in the folder, tap Empty Trash, and then tap Empty Trash again.
