General Discussion / Re: Yahoo mail - messages not being deleted when deleted from AquaMail
« Last post by Martin - Aqua Mail Support on June 12, 2026, 12:32:42 pm »Hello Jim,
Sounds like a Trash/Deleted folder mapping issue with the Yahoo account.
Please check this in Aqua Mail:
Aqua Mail > Menu > Settings > Manage accounts > Yahoo account > Folders
Look for Deleted/Trash folder mapping and set (sync) it to the Yahoo folder that matches Yahoo Webmail’s “Deleted items” folder.
Test with one email:
Delete it in Aqua Mail, then check if it moves to Yahoo Webmail > Deleted items.
If the correct Yahoo folder is not shown, remove and add the Yahoo account again using the automatic Yahoo setup/OAuth login. This usually refreshes Yahoo’s special folder mapping.
As a workaround, “Perma delete” works because it deletes directly on the server, but normal delete needs the correct Trash folder mapping to match Yahoo’s web folder.
