Stop deleting email from my trash folder.
I want you to stop deleting my emails from my trash folder. I place them there to get them out of my inbox, but that does not mean I am ready for them to disappear. You took 100's of my inbox emails and disposed of them in my trash folder, and then AOL deleted them. Until I figured out what happened, it was now too late to recover. I pay for this service and should have every right to keep what I want for as long as I want. Would you please remove or allow us to turn off the auto-delete of my trash emails?

By default, both the Trash and Spam folders empty automatically to keep your account tidy. You cannot change the Trash and Spam settings.
Trash deletion frequency – Trash is deleted after 7 days.
Spam deletion frequency – Spam is deleted after 30 days.
