This morning on my iPad I was unable to move mail to the trash folder. I was able to do the same operation with my iphone. Can anyone explain why not able on the iPad?

Well, I'm assuming that the 'trash' function was working fine before and that you have not changed your mail account(s) - my usual first steps when an app is misbehaving are quoted below - if not already done, give each a try in sequence and check after each maneuver. If not of help, then please post back w/ more specifics regarding my first comments - good luck! :)

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.

2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.

3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
