Description

Prerequisites
  1. I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates

  2. This isn't a feature request

  3. This is not a report about my app not working as expected

Problem And Solution

When protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/13005873-trash-and-labeled-emails was "COMPLETED", ^1 no option was introduced to disable the new functionality. This means that I am unable to utilise /trash without losing labels. An easy solution is to create a new folder. However, habit makes ensuring that I utilise the new folder difficult without a way to disable /trash. Consequently, allow the user to disable the automatic tag removal upon deletion.
