Gmail all mail folder - Was Re: Email question
Hi, with gmail, the All Mail folder is where the real messages are actually kept. So, other things like inbox, important, or other so-called folders you create are actually labels which most other email programs see as folders. So, bottom line, if you delete things from All Mail, you are deleting the real McCoy. -- Raul A.

Re: Gmail all mail folder - Was Re: Email question
I'm not aware of a setting. This is just the default behavior, and I'm not sure you can change it. There are ways to force the deletion of messages from the Gmail server, but I've never used them before. I'd suggest going to Google to search. There's a lot of information out there on how Gmail works, and the Gmail help pages are pretty good, although a bit terse at times.

Re: Gmail all mail folder - Was Re: Email question
You can tell gmail how long to hold your messages. I think it’s under the advanced options in the mail app or mail, contacts, and calendars.
