How do you get the delete option in the iPhone mail app when you swipe to the left? All I'm getting is Mark as unread or archive, I'm running iOS 8.1.2

That's the screen I went to but there's no option for trash or delete

Set the swipe to left option to Flag. Afterwards, you should see "More, Flag, Trash" when you swipe left in the native Mail app.
