How To Remove Messages App From Mac
Re: 10.6.8 Mail — Yes, it works the same on 10.6.8. I have it this way for a long time, even before 10.6.
Also, Gmail itself will do the 'deleting permanently' (emptying trash bin) automatically after 30 days anyway, so your preferences in Mail.app ('Delete after x days') will be ignored if they are set to 'Never delete'.
Thanks, this works! It seems simple enough, but I had never managed to figure it how to make this work out on my own.
Gmail's 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' settings let you delete messages permanently, at will.
'When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder' can be set to 'Immediately delete the message forever'. Other choices in that category include archiving (no, thanks) and moving to Trash (where it's autodeleted later).
When combined with the option 'Auto-Expunge on', this removes messages from Gmail immediately.
For those who like a little safety net, 'Auto-Expunge off' takes advantage of Mail's ability to mark messages as deleted, then expunge them later (Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server). A keyboard shortcut to Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items > In Selected Mailbox is a handy way to give yourself a second look at deleted items before expunging them.
Note that Mail doesn't display deleted-but-unexpunged items by default: To see them, you must choose View > Show Deleted Messages (cmd-L).
Works in 10.5, 10.4, 10.3, and probably earlier, as well as any IMAP based email client that will let you map the Trash/Deleted Items folders to the correct gmail Trash/Bin or whatever the folder is called based on your gmail language settings.
Iphone How To Delete Messages
Thank you!
This behavior has been driving me nuts for a while.
This one I figured out ;-)
Anybody knows how to do the same in iOS Mail.app with google account connected using Exchange protocol?
I made all the suggested changes, but they did not fix the main problem I'm having with the Mail app and my new Gmail account. In Mail, each incoming message appears twice, and I have to delete the same message in both places. The first location is under MAILBOXES (in the GMail inbox or the Junk mailbox). The second location is under GMAIL (in the All Mail folder). Also, reading a message in one location leaves the message marked 'unread' in the other place. What to do?
