Yes, I had no idea of this functionality in Mail; that article set it all
strait for me. I already understood the Google concepts concerning IMAP but I
originally had trouble getting Mail to get totally into the groove so to speak.
This idea of linking or using folders as mail box is interesti
Thanks so much Robert, for that article link. I had no idea you could do all
that with Mail but after reading the post and following most of the steps he
outlined, I have Apple Mail working the way I want now. I even have the mail
boxes organized nicely now. At least everything is going to Tr
You can tell Apple's IMAP client to make any folder the "trash" folder.
1. Select the folder you want to be the trash folder.
2. go to the mailbox menu and find the "Use this mailbox for" sub menu.
3. Select Trash
Note: when you do this, the folder the Macintosh was using for trash will
appear
Actually, it doesn't work as it should for pop mail either. In mail
preferences, I have checked the option to have erased mail deleted when I quit
mail. It has done this once. Most of the time, when I finish going through my
Email, I have to just do the Shif-command-delete to get the trash empti
Hi Steve,
You can tell Apple mail to use the gmail trash mailbox instead of its trash
mailbox. Here is a link to a TidBits article which will show you how to
configure apple mail to work with gmail's imap implementation. Gmail has
changed some since the article was written but you should be abl
G-mail imap is not like normal imap and I suspect Google would prefer to hold
on to all those messages because of all the information they contain. :) I
certainly would like to know how all those messages in the Gmail deleted
messages folder on the Gmail site could be trashed all at once.
I wond
When I went into gmail settings, I could not find anything to enable immediate
deletion of messages. I recall some time ago when there was an option in
Google Labs supporting an option to make gmail's IMAP emulation work like
normal IMAP servers but I haven't heard anything more on this since t
When you do this, are the messages being moved to Trash or they actually going
away? Slso, are you absolutely sure they are being removed from the All Mail
folder? A lot of people fail to realize that as long as messages are in All
mail, they are around forever.

Hello Caitlyn et al,
I read your message very carefully.
Currently, I have several G Mail iMap accounts that I access with Apple
Mail. I have no problems at all in deleting messages from any of them; I
have re-installed Lion several times since its release without having ever
experienced the
Try moving them to [Gmail]/Trash instead. That's what I do.
See my other mail about deleting. You could follow that route for a while and
then go into that folder of deleted messages and move them to [Gmail]/Trash.
Too bad we can't write a macro for Apple Mail to do this. That's what I do when
Yeah, this is the strangest thing! It didn't do this before I had to reinstall
Lion a couple of weeks ago.
It does seem like if I actually go in and read the message, it does stay
deleted, but if I don't choose to read it, it comes back like the plague!
Totally annoying!

I also have gmail accounts here and have been experimenting around with Mac
Mail to figure out the best behavior for message deletion. First off, I do not
see a good way to delete messages from gmail with the Mac mail client. Rather,
you ultimately have to get the unwanted messages moved to [G
Caitlin, I have my account set the same way and it won't delete my messages
either. I'm just as puzzled about this as you are. Sorry, no answers here yet.
