Ok, it's been a bit since I've done this so my instructions may not be exact. Also, I did this on snow leopard so I hope my instructions are not outdated. I'm assuming you are using gmail imap in apple mail. So, in apple mail go to the gmail trash folder in the mailboxes sidebar. Make sure it's selected. Then go up to the main menu bar with VO plus M. Then go to the mail box menu and go to use this mailbox for. This menu has a submenu and in there choose trash. After you do this, the gmail trash should disappear from the mailboxes sidebar. This should do what you want. Now when apple mail puts something in trash it should appear in gmails trash folder on the web page. That is of course if you have certain preferences in gmail and in apple mail set up to your preferences. I don't know if you prefer the trash and delete method or the archive method. Good Luck.
There is a great article in tidbits but I can't find it right now. You may understand his instructions better. I have it bookmarked on another computer. I highly suggest you find this article. It's written by the same guy who writes the take control books. Oh, and I'm not very tech savvy so hopefully this is the correct instructions. I just know this worked for me.
