Gmail – How to archive a trashed message in Gmail

gmail

How do I remove a message from the trash without it going to the "Inbox" folder?

If I open a message in the trash, my only options of removing it from there are: pressing the "Move to inbox" button or "Recover from trash". However, in both cases it moves the message to the inbox rather than archiving it, forcing me to have to manually find this email and archive it.

If I try to press "Archive" on a trashed message, it does nothing.

Do I really need to do this two-step process every time I want to archive a trashed message?

If you want to archive it with a tag, you can just:

  • Click "Move To" -> [Tag name]

Otherwise it seems that two steps is the only way.
