Control where messages go when you delete them — moved to Trash, or removed straight away. This guide shows how to set that behaviour in Mailbox Options.

Step 1 — Open Settings

Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Settings.

Step 2 — Open Mailbox Options

Select Mailbox Options (blue) from the Mail section of the settings sidebar.

Step 3 — Set the delete behaviour

Choose an option under When messages are deleted (blue) — for example, Move to trash so deleted mail can be recovered later.

Step 4 — Save your changes

Click Save Updates (green) to apply the setting.
