Ah! Does iCloud email automatically purge my trash after 1 month? My Apple Mail setting is to "never" purge my trash, yet everything in my iCloud trash dating back over 1 month is gone. How did this happen, and how can I disable the purging? Thanks.
Seriously? I'm going to have to move back to gmail if this is the case. Anyone else have any thoughts?
I had years (literally) of emails in my trash before I migrated.
^ This. Use a different folder if you want to keep it.The real question is, why are you using the trash as a storage folder for emails you want to keep?
Well, I always just used my trash as my archive. So long as it didn't purge, I'd have my entire history. Perhaps I should be using a separate archive folder instead, though of course then I can't use the simple "delete" key all the time.
In any case, it appears I hit my 5GB max in iCloud anyway, so it's time to move back to Gmail.
Is it possible to pull my old emails of of Time Machine and drop them back into gmail?
