## Deletion Behavior

<Info>
  When an email account is deleted:

  * Removed from all campaign associations
  * Warmup status set to `INACTIVE` with reason "Email account is deleted by user action"
  * Smart sender domain mappings are deleted
  * Account is soft-deleted (not permanently removed from database)
</Info>

<Warning>
  Before deleting an email account, ensure:

  * No active campaigns depend solely on this account
