go intomail prefs on your mac. go to the accounts section and pick gmail. then, go to the mailbox behaviours tab and in there you can pick what you want mail to do with the messages. It’s a pop up button and you can pick deletion on closing mail, keep deleted messages for one day, a week, a month, or the first option. Also, make sure your deleted messages are going into the trash and not being archived. You can check this in this same tab. hth, Cait
