Email

Hey y’all, how do I stop Apple from automatically deleting my email? I’ve noticed, I’ll read an important email and a day later I’ll go back to it again and it’s deleted and I gotta find it in the trash folder. It’s ridiculous that Apple allows emails to automatically delete.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hello Tanker_151,


We would like to see how we can help you ith your email being moved to trash unexpectedly. Does this happen with multiple accounts or only one? Who is the email provider? Are there any Mail rules that might be causing this to happen? Check out this link for more information: Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support


"Change or delete email filtering rules

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click the Settings button at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Preferences.
  2. Click Rules, then select a rule.
  3. Do any of the following: 
    • Change a rule: Specify new filtering conditions in the pop-up menus and text fields, then click Done.
    • Delete a rule: Click Delete."


Cheers!
