Switch El Capitan's Mail app to archiving Gmail

30 September 2015, 11:50

I’ll bet you haven’t spotted this little gem – open Mail app’s preferences within El Capitan, click the Viewing icon, and then change the Swipe Left To heading to read Archive.

This’ll let you swipe left on a trackpad or Magic Mouse to archive rather than delete mails if you use Gmail (and maybe other mail providers – I haven’t checked).

Know better?
