In Webmail Direct, if you have set your "Delete to Trash" preferences to No, you can see and act on the messages you have recently deleted from your Inbox by subscribing to the deletedmessages folder.

Note: The deletedmessages folder has a much smaller quota than your usual e-mail quota. As the deletedmessages folder fills up, the oldest messages in it are removed by the system. To subscribe to and use the deletedmessages folder:

1. On the Webmail Direct menu bar, click Folders. You will see a Folders window like the one below:

   

2. Click the Shared link. You will see the Shared Folders window with a list of the folders to which you have permission to subscribe:

   

3. In the Folder Name section, click the plus (+) sign next to deletedmessages to expand the folder then click the plus (+) sign next to user to see the name of your folder. Your personal deleted messages folder will have a check box beside it as in the window below.

   

4. To subscribe to the folder, select the checkbox and click Subscribe. After the page refreshes, you will see the Subscribed icon next to the name of your folder.
