Auto-Delete for Trash & Spam
Auto-Delete For Trash Folder
-
RunningAlone commented
Hi there, I'd love a very simple feature that I think could be a major improvement for many users....a way to automatically delete every mail in the trash and spam folder.
For example, An option that says: Do you want to automatically and definitely empty your trash and spam folder every week?
That could be great :) -

I would like to be able to have my trash folder automatically emptied, either upon exiting from Protonmail, or after a set period. Either one would be helpful.

Need option for placing the Trash Folder in order of deletion time and date. I have accidentally deleted items on my phone and have not been able to recover them through the Protonmail web version because I just couldn't find them. These items were sent to me many days to weeks ago. So a quick trash order selection within the "More" dropdown menu would be perfect. Place in order from new to old or latest deletion to oldest deletion. You wouldn't need to add a long-term "undo" button if you implemented this function.

Agree with @Enrico, allow for a certain amount of time before messages in the trash disappear (30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, never)

Yes, please add this feature. Emails in Trash auto delete afted a user specified time period. This saves us from having to delete it manually. Thanks!

I would love this option. It would keep me from emptying trash that I end up needing in a day or two but also maintain my storage space.

To be able to empty trash (even shred it and delete) would make the user interface much cleaner. One never knows whether or not to time-delay expiry of messages when they are composed and sent. A clean delete forever, in addition to being a comfort-feature, would help clean up clutter.

This feature would be very useful

It would be a great benefit if any address placed in our SPAM list that they get in return a bounce message that the email is invalid/not on server. In time our email would be dropped.

It's very important this idea because it can be more productive this email service.

a setting to immediately delete trash. essentially one has to "delete" everything twice which I find irritating. just empty the shit automatically. the cocksuckers at google and the nsa can keep their retarded spying files in perpetuity but I don't want the shit- just fucking delete it and be done w/ it says I.

I agree with Enrico also... would very much like to set a purge policy on any folder I create. It should be an option at Folder setup: set number of days aging permitted for this folder, after which mail older that this is automatically moved to the Trash folder.
Then on the Trash folder you could set a permanent delete policy.
Ideally, the purge policy should be based on the date the message enters a folder, not the calendarDate it arrived at ProtonMail.

Would really like to have an option to select either auto empty trash, or when you delete from inbox it does not go to trash at all.....just gone.
One of those features please :) -

I can’t figure out how to just delete it. Doesn’t have to be automatic.

Andrew commented
Yes please. This would be highly beneficial to many users, especially those on lower PM tiers with lower storage space.

That would be a nice feature to have. And for better flexibility I think there is a reason to add exclusions for stared or moved to some specified folder mails, so user can stay sure that important mails will not be vanished.

Agree with enrico. It must be an option to permanently delete email in Trash after some days/weeks.

If you want to trash spam directly, that option is already there. Under the "More" button you can select "Empty spam".
