How long do emails remain in yahoo mail trash
According to Yahoo's official documentation, emails in the "Trash" folder are typically deleted after 30 days. However, this timeframe may vary depending on your account settings and the specific circumstances.
Here are some additional details:
- Default retention period: Yahoo Mail's default retention period for emails in the "Trash" folder is 30 days. During this time, you can still recover deleted emails by moving them back to the "Inbox" or other folders.
- Customizable retention period: You can change the retention period for emails in the "Trash" folder by going to Yahoo Mail's settings (gear icon > More settings > Account settings > Trash settings). You can choose to keep emails in the "Trash" folder for a longer or shorter period, up to a maximum of 365 days.
- Automatic deletion: If you don't recover or move emails from the "Trash" folder within the specified retention period, they will be automatically deleted. This means that even if you change the retention period, emails will still be deleted after the specified time.
- Exceptions: There are some exceptions to the 30-day retention period:
- If you have a Yahoo Mail Pro account, emails in the "Trash" folder are retained for 365 days.
- If you have a Yahoo Mail Business account, emails in the "Trash" folder are retained for 30 days, but you can customize the retention period through your account settings.
