Request: The ability to soft delete conversations or replies. Deleted emails will appear in the deleted folder.
Users part of the conversation will be advised that it has been deleted. Any new replies will not be accepted.
Only the conversation or reply owner can delete the item. In addition, a reason must be provided which will be used to notify all parties involved.
