Gmail
Though it appears that it does, Gmail does not actually use separate folders.
Instead, it attaches labels to each email. Deleting a message simply removes
the Inbox label from the email and adds a Trash label. When the trash is
emptied, Gmail purges all emails with the Trash label. Gmail stores all emails
until the trash is emptied.
This is important to remember because there are other labels that can
attach to emails, such as “Important”, “Sent”, “Already Read”, “Not Yet Read”,
among others.
