This is a big (or, at least, a lack of a feature). See here for more:

That is the button you would press if images are included in the email. 
Images will not load (be visible) by default, so that must be pressed to 
see them.

If you tap the title bar in the application, you will trigger the main 
menu. There is a Delete option there. If you choose it, you can click on 
all of the emails you want to delete (multi-select) from the current 
folder and then tap the Delete button at the top of the screen.
