Flagged emails are not deleted by default

Flagged emails may play an important role for a user. There can be tasks, deadlines or workflows linked to a flagged email. To not impede these workflows, flagged emails are not deleted by default. Emails marked as completed are an exception and will be deleted if there is a deletion rule covering that email.

Flagged emails will be archived, unless there is a filter excluding the email otherwise. In case the flag of an already archived email is removed in the mailbox, the email may get deleted if there is an deletion rule covering that email.
