Easy, you can change what folder it treats as sent. It doesn't have a trash bin (and it won't) or draft support (and it will) yet.

- mbreese 7y agoOut of curiosity, why won’t there be a Trash bin? What about an Archive folder?
- epse 7y agoYou can just make an archive folder and copy emails there, or set up a shortcut to archive emails.
- brokenkebab 7y agoTrash bin (for messages, or files) is a poor man's replacement for making backup copies.
- x3ro 7y agoI think that's an oversimplification.. let's say I have daily backups. Let's also say I'm opening my email client in the morning and receive 20 mails, but because I haven't had any coffee yet I accidentally delete the wrong one, which I realize 15 seconds later. Now that mail is gone and I have no way to retrieve it.. (No, paying more attention is not a solution. People inevitably make these kinds of mistakes)
- brokenkebab 7y agoYes, I admit, backups alone is too narrow a solution. Still, it's a terminal program, apparently not targeted towards general mouse-and-click user. Here, you probably can assign a key(combination) to 'mv Trash' instead of deletion if you like it, or just have no keybinding at all, forcing yourself to type ":delete" (or whatever the command to delete is in Aerc).
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoWell, you can get both by just adjusting your keybindings a bit. For example, add this to binds.conf: [messages] D = :mv Trash<Enter> A = :mv Archive<Enter>
- mbreese 7y agoPerfect! That’s great to know that there are adjustable key bindings (although, I don’t know why I didn’t expect that!) Thanks for all the hard work. Every year or so I try to switch my email workflow over to Mutt. I think I know what I’m trying this year!
