I tried doing that several times and the trashed items keep reappearing. I just switched from a iphone 4 to a 6. Was able to clear out trashed items with the 4, however the 6 won't clear them out.

Switching to imap is the way to go.

I don't know which email provider you use, but in Gmail I went to it's setting on my computer and enabled IMAP. Then on the phone either edit the settings to use IMAP, or delete the account an re-set it up to work with IMAP.

I'm using live and iCloud. I think switching from pop to IMAP will fix it. Will try today and report back.

Tried the Apple support, what a joke. The tech sounded like he was from India and could not understand English.

My experiences with Apple have been completely different. I have always spoken to a technician on US soil and in English.

What I do is the following (online): I go to the Apple website, Support, then choose iPhone support. Once there I choose one of the boxes that relate to the problems I am having with the iPhone. If none of the boxes lists the malfunction the phone is having, then I choose the box that indicates the latter. After you enter the serial number of the cellphone, the following choices are offered to you:

a. To have an online chat with a technician
b. Or to have a technician contacting you via email
c. Or to have a technician calling you any day of the week (even weekends), and the time you want
d. You can also talk to a technician

All on this page:
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support

If the phone is new, all the contact support is free of charge.

The dude at the Apple store near me told me that my mail problem was because I was using a Live account. He said that I should switch to Gmail. Can anyone comment?
