Flagging, moving and deleting messages
Keep your mail organised by marking messages, moving them to a folder or deleting them.
Marking
Click Mark (1) and choose:
- As read or As unread: handy if you want to look at a message again later.
- As flagged: the message gets a red flag and turns red in the list. This way you can see straight away what still needs attention. Use As unflagged to remove the flag again.
Moving and copying
Drag a message to a folder in the folder list. Or click More (1) and choose Move to... or Copy to.... In the More menu you will also find Print this message, Show source, Open in new window and Create filter (see Creating a filter).
Deleting
Select one or more messages and click Delete, or press Delete. The message goes to the Trash. It is only gone for good once you empty the trash.
To empty the trash: click the Trash folder, click the three dots next to your email address above the folders, and choose Empty.
Tip: deleted mail counts towards your mailbox storage until you empty the trash.
Deleted something by accident?
- Is the message still in the Trash? Drag it back to the Inbox.
- Have you already emptied the trash? You may still be able to recover the message from the backup. See Restoring a mailbox or deleted emails from the backup.
