I don't use the gmail app in my iPad mini or iPhone, just the iPad2. I have mail organized in folders in my gmail account, and if I move them in a gmail app, that doesn't sync over to the native Apple e-mail in the other 2 devices. The whole e-mail situation with my mobile devices is something I'm not entirely satisfied with yet but I am not sure what to do about it at this point. I also looked for apps at the app store and I'm not seeing anything of interest there.

Wow, you're right, i hadn't noticed that you can't delete a message without displaying it in the gmail app. Bad design.
Meanwhile, on my iPad mini the mail app can access gmail, but not on the iPad 3.
Regarding alternatives, many people seem to love mailbox.com. Personally I'm not going to create yet another cloud account and let a third party have access to my emails. Google is enough. But if you have a strong need to organize your mails and sync across devices, it may be a solution. I haven't tested it for the reason stated above.
