Move an email to trash
AI agents call trash_email to permanently remove resources in Enhanced MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Moving an email to trash is effectively a deletion action. While some email systems allow recovery from trash within a time window, the operation is considered destructive as it removes the email from the user's inbox/folder and places it in a trash/deleted items location that is typically auto-purged.
