<title>Delete or archive a message</title>
12
<p>When you use Geary with a Gmail account, Geary lets you <em>archive</em> messages.
13
The <gui>Archive</gui> toolbar button archives the selected conversation(s).
14
Archived messages appear in the <gui>All Mail</gui> folder.</p>
16
<p>With other mail servers, you can trash or delete, but not archive, messages. To move
17
one or more conversations to the <gui>Trash</gui> folder, select them and press the <gui>Trash</gui>
18
button on the toolbar. To permanently delete the conversations, hold down <key>Shift</key> and press
19
the <gui>Delete</gui> button that appears in place of the <gui>Trash</gui> button.</p>
21
<p>Delete is not available from every folder, such as Search. Delete is also unavailable for Gmail.
22
For Gmail, <gui>Trash</gui> will move messages to the Trash folder on the server, where the user can
23
then manually delete them. The server will automatically remove trashed messages after 30 days.</p>
