Bill, now I'm confused. First you said the emails disappeared from everywhere including Trash, now you say they don't disappear from Trash. What, exactly, is the problem you have?
No Andy, I did not say that emails don't disappear from Trash. I wrote that my Trash doesn't empty, except for the 30 day time period after which Gmail deletes it. But those emails which "disappear", disappear from everywhere in Gmail - Inbox, Trash, Sent Mail, Starred, All Mail, Spam. I hope that clarifies things. Does something disappear after you delete something? Once again - Emails which are part of a thread, and emails which have been forwarded by me to someone else, often disappear from everywhere in Gmail (see my answer about) if I Delete them (send them to Trash). Does something disappear so that it isn't in the Trash? Now I realize that you're just messing with me, not trying to help at all. Time to end this. Sorry to have taken the group's time. I'll live with the problem. > On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 3:05 PM, Andy <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 8:05 AM, bill hansen <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi Andy - Thanks for your thoughts, especially the info that most Gmail >> users never have the trouble I'm having.
