Bath Spa Google Apps email - your inbox, your archive and your deleted email

When email arrives, your account gives it the labels 'Inbox' and 'Unread'.

Inbox
Mail arrives into your inbox. There, as well as being labelled 'Inbox', it's labelled as 'Unread' (until you read it). When you use the 'Archive' button, this removes the 'Inbox' label so the message disappears from your inbox folder - you've not deleted the message - it's still to be found in the 'All mail' folder.
All mail
You, or a rule that you set up, can move email on from your inbox, e.g. into 'All mail'.
Deleted items
When you delete messages, they're given a 'Bin' label - when they're 30 days old, they'll be deleted permanently.

Items of email can appear in more than one 'Gmail' folder - for example, the 'All mail' folder displays just that. Here's how Gmail's folders work, it's useful to understand this.
