The “two fingers” tip worked for me - thanks for that - and miraculously the Edit function reappeared (after I had manually deleted 174 junk messages). I updated my iPad to iOS 18.3.1 this morning and have spent the entire day sorting out this and other problems. Off topic, but there’s another Mail misbehaviour: intermittent “account error” messages when I attempt to update mailboxes. Another downward swipe fixes this but it’s a total pain. The account settings are correct, of course. My long time admiration for Apple tech is wilting…

Mine works again. Pretty sure an auto update came thru yesterday or the day prior (alert disappeared when I opened my iPad for something else, so I'm not 100% certain). It was only a problem on THIS, somewhat older, 7th Generation iPad. All my other Apple devices, which end in "Pro" (even an older one, which no longer updates) work fine. In my opinion, THIS iPad never should've gotten this last update. It can't "handle" it. Apps keep crashing.
