It's not because of Apple Mail that this happens. For some reason, and in I don't know how many years I haven't figured out why, if the email client sends the message via iMap to delete messages, Gmail doesn't handle it correctly, and they keep coming back. This happens every time in Gmail's "All mail" folder. The only way to make messages die forever is to not delete them directly, but move them to a trash folder, then empty that trash folder. This has worked for me in both Apple Mail and Thunderbird on Windows.

hey,
i've been having a very strange problem with mail on mac for about a week now.
when i open mac mail i tend to get older messages that i removed the last time 
back in my inbox.
Either there is something wrong with mail which I'm starting to doubt or there 
is a problem with gmail and imap.
Anyone else on here having similar issues?

Michael
