<title>Archive, trash and delete messages</title>
<p>Geary lets you archive messages if your server supports
it. Clicking the <gui style="button">Archive</gui> toolbar button
moves the conversation from the current folder to the
<gui>Archive</gui> folder for most email services, or to <gui>All
Mail</gui> for GMail. Archiving helps keep your email organised by
moving old and replied-to email out of the way.</p>
<p>To move conversations to the <gui>Trash</gui> folder, select them
and click the <gui style="button">Trash</gui> toolbar button. To
permanently delete conversations, hold down <key>Shift</key> and
click the <gui style="button">Delete</gui> button that appears in
place of the <gui>Trash</gui> button, or open the conversation in
the <gui>Trash</gui> folder and click <gui
style="button">Delete</gui> there.</p>
<note style="tip">
<title>Undoing changes</title>
<p>Note that you can always undo archiving or trashing a message
if you change your mind. Click <gui style="button">Undo</gui> on
the pop-up notification that appears, or type
<keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Z</key></keyseq>, or open the folder,
find the message, then move it back to your <gui>Inbox</gui></p>
</note>
<p>While both <gui style="button">Archive</gui> and <gui
style="button">Trash</gui> removes conversations from your
<gui>Inbox</gui> folder, there is an important difference. Clicking
<gui style="button">Archive</gui> will ensure your conversations are
kept so you can find them again later. Clicking <gui
style="button">Trash</gui> will cause conversations to be hidden
from <link xref="search"/>, and they will likely be deleted in the
future.</p>
