Summary

When an account has multiple inboxes linked, getUserLabels() returns labels across all inboxes. Previously trashEmails used labels.find(l => l.providerLabelId === 'TRASH'), which always picked the first TRASH label regardless of which inbox the thread belongs to.

When deleting threads belonging to subsequent inboxes, this resulted in a 404 Not Found (Label not found) error from the backend because email_labels.id did not match the thread's link_id.

Changes

  • Resolve each thread's linkId from the caller, email list cache, or thread cache; when multiple inboxes exist and it is still missing, fall back through the existing queries-layer thread fetch.
  • Select the corresponding TRASH label belonging to that specific linkId; only use the single-label fallback when exactly one TRASH label exists.
  • Ensure undo accurately restores the per-thread TRASH label.
  • Add regression coverage for multi-inbox trash/undo and missing-linkId fallback resolution.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes email delete/trash API behavior and batch failure handling; mistakes could trash into the wrong inbox or leave server/UI out of sync, though the PR adds explicit guards and tests.

Overview
Fixes multi-inbox trash so each thread uses the TRASH label for its own inbox (linkId), instead of always applying the first TRASH label from getUserLabels() (which caused 404s for threads in other linked inboxes).

trashEmails now takes { id, linkId? } targets; callers in the email top bar and soup delete action pass linkId when available. Label resolution pulls linkId from the target, email list cache, thread query cache, or fetchAndCacheThread when multiple inboxes exist. The code resolves every thread’s label before any API trash, refuses to trash when a known inbox has no matching label, uses per-thread label IDs for undo, and reverts threads that already trashed if a batch sibling fails.

Adds Vitest coverage for multi-inbox trash/undo, missing linkId fallback, single-label fallback, and failure/compensation paths.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved moving email threads to Trash across supported providers.
    • Ensured Undo restores each thread to its correct previous location.
    • Prevented Undo attempts for threads without a recoverable destination.
    • Added more reliable recovery when moving messages to Trash fails.

Walkthrough

trashEmails now resolves TRASH label IDs separately for each thread. It uses cached data, thread queries, or a best-effort API fetch, then falls back to the default label when needed. The selected label is stored per thread. Undo uses the stored label for each thread and skips threads without one.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c57ba

Trash and undo behavior now retains the correct inbox-specific label, including when a link ID must be resolved from thread metadata. No merge-blocking risk remains.

Restore the removed linkId fallbacks before resolving the TRASH label

make-delete-action.ts passes the optional EmailEntity.linkId to trashEmails. When it is absent, the current code checks only emailKeys.threadMessages(id). The previous implementation also checked the soup entity, the single-thread cache, and fetched the thread. If no linkId is found and multiple TRASH labels exist, done throws TRASH label not found, so that thread receives no label update and the optimistic delete rolls back. Undo then returns without restoring the API label. Restore these fallbacks, and route any network fetch through the queries package.

Add a multi-thread trash/undo regression test.

No existing test executes trashEmails; utils.test.ts has no trash or undo coverage, and make-delete-action.test.ts mocks trashEmails. Add a test with two distinct linkId values and TRASH labels, then assert that undo uses each thread’s recorded label.

Hi, thanks for catching this failure case. A few notes:

  • nit: I think we can remove the string from the TrashEmailTarget type so it's just the object. It seems like the callers are already only passing the object type anyways so we don't need the normalized target as far as I can tell.
  • Bulk trash can partially succeed and disable Undo. Thread A is trashed while thread B’s inbox lookup fails. Promise.all rejects, the entire list is restored locally, and undo returns without restoring A on the server. The new per-thread lookup introduces this failure path
  • API errors are treated as success, including during undo. updateThreadLabel returns a Result where an HTTP failure resolves to Err rather than rejecting. Neither call checks it, so failure handlers don’t run and undo can announce “Restored” after failing. This predates the PR, but undermines its rollback guarantees. Both calls need throwOnErr or explicit result handling, alongside partial-success handling.
  • The single-label fallback overrides a known inbox mismatch. With a cached TRASH label for inbox A and a target explicitly belonging to B, the code still chooses A’s label. The backend rejects it, so this doesn’t delete another inbox’s thread, but it retains the original failure in that case.

Address review feedback on the multi-inbox TRASH fix:

- Make TrashEmailTarget object-only and drop the string normalization; both
  callers already pass the object form.
- Resolve every thread's TRASH label before trashing any of them, so a lookup
  failure can no longer leave part of a bulk trash committed on the server
  while the rest is rolled back locally. A genuine partial API failure now
  reverts the threads that did trash so the server matches the rolled-back UI.
- Wrap the trash and undo updateThreadLabel calls in throwOnErr. The client
  returns an Err Result on HTTP failure instead of rejecting, so failures were
  silently treated as success and undo could report "Restored" after failing.
- Only fall back to the sole TRASH label when the thread's inbox is unknown; a
  known inbox with no matching label now fails instead of trashing into the
  wrong inbox.
