Description

    E.g. emails of identical title, content, sender.
    When deleting with:
    https://account.proton.me/u/0/mail/general#viewMode
    ; enabled.

    It seems confusing which one (or all?) would be deleted from Trash.


    Also I believe the "Delete" button should be red.
    (as in "Delete all" of Trash)

    And the "Delete" button should also exist aside of "Move to Trash", for other folders.
    (at times trashing might be excessive)

    Same applies to Proton Drive.

Research direction

Start by reproducing duplicate messages with Conversation grouping enabled at the account mail view, then compare deletion behavior in Trash and other folders. Review the related Proton Mail controls and Proton Drive behavior; done means the requested delete actions and button treatment are consistent and the affected-item behavior is unambiguous.
