Swiping to delete in mail

After updating to macOS catalina 10.15.7, I have lost the ability to swipe to delete or archive. Going to mail - preferences - view, the choice to enable swipe is gone. What gives? That was a feature I used all the time. I just got a new magic mouse and thought that might be the problem, but I don't think so, since the option for swiping is missing from mail preferences. Does anyone know if this will be reinstated?

Hello lorrainefrombluffton! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you’re unable to swipe your mail to archive or delete it since updating to macOS 10.15.7. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


This is a feature that should be available to you. Does this happen with all your mail accounts? 


If you swipe with one finger to the right or left on the Magic Mouse in the Mail app, does it provide options for the message you’re swiping on? 


Make it a great day!
