How can i view the trash folder on ipad 1?

I think I am right in thinking that you need to signin with you Apple ID to get full permission on you email user accounts .it may be signed on to you husbands account.other work around is to login through a browser and view within the browser itself.

How to turn off your iPad

Dear Thomas,
There is an easy way to empty the trash folder on your iPad email app. Here is how:
1. Open the "Mail" app on your iPad.
2. Tap on the upper-left icon in the Mail app. It might say, "Mailboxes" or in my case, it says "Gmail".

3. Tap on the email account you are using. Mine says, "Gmail", yours might say, "Yahoo" or whatever program you are using.
4. Tap on the "Trash" folder for your email account.
5. Now that you are looking at the items in the trash folder, tap on the "Edit" button located just to the right of the word, "Trash".
6. Tap on the "Delete All" icon at the bottom of the screen.
7. A larger "Delete All" button will appear. Tap on that as well.
8. In a few seconds (or longer if you have lots of messages in the deleted folder) all your messages will be gone and the "Trash" folder will be empty.

When you hold down on the app icon and it shakes with a little x in the left corner, that deletes an app. Once an item is deleted that is it. There is no trash can like on a mac.

Hi! Well, I'm happy to inform you that there is no trash can on the iPad. Apple is trying hard to simplify the usage as much as they can, hence no trash can to be found.
