Euuuu, I can think of nothing grosser (American meaning, not "bigger")
than syncing an email client to that rotten garbage bin called "gmail".
But nowadays you can use IMAP just like POP: Download and expunge. The
following is the part of my .fetchmailrc that retrieves then deletes my
gmail litttest mail. I'm sure you can do the exact same thing direct
from Claws.
poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP
user 'litttest aatt gmail.com' there is 'slitt' here
pass 'my-ultra-secret-password'
#portnumber 993
limit 50000000
warnings 3200
expunge 60
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
fetchlimit 50
ssl;
