I recently had to switch to Gmail as my imap server [1]. It seems that Gmail auto-deletes mail from the trash after 30 days. I'm looking for a way to preserve all my mail. Does anyone have a scheme to preserve mail permanently rather than let it be deleted? For example, is there a way to have MailMate (or another piece of software) periodically and automatically move mail out of the Trash into a folder (or even another imap server) for archiving?

I'm a long-time unix & mac user and a software developer too, so I'm not afraid of command lines or daemons or writing some software myself. If someone has already done this or can advise about dead-ends to avoid, I'd appreciate the tips.

Best regards,
MH
