Where is delete button on mail notifications in Mavericks?

I've upgraded my late 2008 Macbook to Mavericks. I was excited to be able to delete emails directly from the pop up notifications. Instead the notifications are worse. Before I could open the email or close the notification. Now the two choices are close or replay so I can't even just go to read them.

Where is the delete button that I see in everyone's screenshots of the mail notifications? Does it only work with icloud mail?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I just discovered that the delete button DOES appear (with a mouse-over) when the notification is a banner, but is not present when it is an alert.

Strange!

Doesn't work for me. Nothing on mouse over

warrennn has it correct! Thanks!

I went and switched to banners and sure enough the Delete shows up on mouse-over. The banner acts more like an alert than I expected, so overall I'm happy with that answer.

Just click on it, then drag it out to the right, like you want to throw it out.
