You can delete email messages that you don’t need anymore to help keep your mailboxes manageable, and to free up storage space on your Mac or on the mail server. Deleted messages are available until they’re permanently erased.

Delete an email

  1. In the Mail app on your Mac, select a message.

  2. Click the Delete button in the Mail toolbar or move the pointer over the message’s header, then click the Delete button that appears.

    Tip: To prevent the next message in the list from being automatically selected (and marked as read), press and hold the Option key when you delete the message.

If you set the “Move discarded messages” option to Trash in Viewing preferences in Mail, you can delete a message by swiping left on the trackpad with two fingers or by moving the pointer over a Mail notification, then clicking Trash.

  2. Click the Delete button in the Mail toolbar or press the Delete key.

If you delete a mailbox, all of the messages in the mailbox are deleted.

You can search for a set of messages to delete. For example, you can search for messages dated August 1 through September 5, 2018 by entering “date:8/01/18-9/05/18” in the Mail search field. Or, search for messages from a specific person by entering a name in the search field. Then select and delete the found messages.

View deleted emails

Whether you can view and retrieve messages after you delete them depends on how you set options in Mail preferences.

  1. In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.

  2. Select an account, click Mailbox Behaviors, then check the setting for the Trash Mailbox option.

In the Mail app on your Mac, do one of the following:

  • Choose Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items, then choose an account.

  • In the Mail sidebar, Control-click a Trash mailbox, then choose Erase Deleted Items.

You can set the “Erase deleted messages” option in Mail preferences to have Mail permanently erase deleted messages for you at a specified time. See Change Mailbox Behaviors preferences.
