How to: Not delete it, archive it

When you Delete an email in Gmail it will label it as Trash. After 30 days your Trash will be permanently deleted and you will not have access to the deleted email anymore!

If you Archive a message it will leave your inbox but will remain within your All Mail folder where you can search for it if you need it.

To archive a mail:

1. Open Gmail
2. Select a mail
3. Select the Archive button
