# Mail folders

> Understand the Sent, Archived, and Cancelled folders in BC Correios, including which actions sync with the BCB and which are local-only.

Besides the [Inbox](/en/lerian-console/reporter-console/bc-correios-inbox), BC Correios organizes mail into three additional folders: **Sent**, **Archived**, and **Cancelled**. They share the same list layout — type, subject, sender, received date, and a per-row actions menu — but differ in which actions are available and whether those actions affect the Banco Central do Brasil (BCB).

<Note>
  All folder views require the `mails:get` permission, the same as the Inbox.
</Note>

## Sent

***

The **Sent** folder lists communications you have transmitted to the BCB through [Compose](/en/lerian-console/reporter-console/bc-correios-compose). It is a reference view — there are no row actions other than opening the message detail.

## Archived

***

The **Archived** folder holds mail you have archived for organization. From the row actions menu you can **Restore** an item back to its previous folder.

<Note>
  **Archive and Restore are local-only.** They update the BC Correios database for organizational purposes and never change anything on the BCB side. Restore requires the `mails:put` permission; without it the action is hidden.
</Note>

## Cancelled

***

The **Cancelled** folder mirrors mail that the BCB has marked as cancelled. This view is **read-only**: there are no restore, archive, or delete actions.

<Warning>
  Cancellations always originate upstream at the BCB. The BCB integration does not expose a cancellation operation, so BC Correios only reflects the cancelled state — it cannot change it. To act on a cancellation, use the BCB web interface.
</Warning>

## Why there's no delete

***

Regulatory mail must be retained to meet the minimum retention requirement configured in [Settings](/en/lerian-console/reporter-console/bc-correios-settings).

For that reason there's no user-facing delete in any folder; archiving is the closest organizational action, and it keeps the mail fully retained.
