Yes, you will need to go to Google email site to do this. You really don't need to delete the trash in Google because it does it auto every 30 days that each message is 30 days old. The way I understand it is your spam, trash folder and your sent mail and all mail folder under your Google name account in the what ever mail client you are using these are just showing up on your computer they are not really on it. I think you can find more out in the help session of your Google email account. I use IMAP in outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 for my Google accounts at home and work and this seems to be what it is for me. So I don't never worry about the other folders just my inbox. Unless I need to look up something I deleted or sent. Hope this helps some.

I am having a bit of an issue with the mail application and IMAP settings. Maybe I am doing something wrong here but if anyone could help with this, that would be greatly appreciated. I have set up my gmail account in mail using IMAP. However, I am not sure of my settings because whenever I delete messages in the "all mail folder", they keep coming back, even after I have deleted the trash. Either there's something wrong with my settings or could this mean I have to go into my gmail account on the website and delete the messages in the "all mail folder" there? If anyone could help me solve this mystery, I'd be very grateful. Thanks and have a good one.
