This macro works exactly like I would like it to except for one minor issue: It does not move to the next message after the e-mail is delete (moved to Gmail trash). The problem before was that it moved to the next mail and moved that to trash. Now it works perfectly with regards to deleting and moving the mail.

Thank you so much! This macro works exactly like I would like it to except for one minor issue: It does not move to the next message after the e-mail is delete (moved to Gmail trash). The problem before was that it moved to the next mail and moved that to trash. Now it works perfectly with regards to deleting and moving the mail.

I too have had similar issues and in my .muttrc I have: unset resolve # move to the next message when an action is performed macro pager D ":set resolve\n:unset resolve\n" "Delete Message" macro index D ":set resolve\n:unset resolve\n" "Delete Message" macro index N ":set resolve\n:unset resolve\n" "Toggle message 'N'ew flag" These settings make me happier. -- Will Fiveash

Re: Macro to move mail to trash in Gmail.
Acoording to the manual, there is a variable: resolve Type: boolean Default: yes When set, the cursor will be automatically advanced to the next (possibly undeleted) message whenever a command that modifies the current message is executed. I guess unsetting 'resolve' would help.

But you *do* want Trash to be listed in the sidebar, is that it? Otherwise, you could simply omit Trash from the list of mailboxes displayed in the sidebar, and it wouldn't bother you. You might also try to set resolve to "no". Then your macro: macro index,pager D "N+Gmail/trash" "move message to the trash" might work. Not sure if it would result in undesirable behaviour under different circumstances. Also, may be a shorter alternative to ... mandar.

I don't have an answer; I'm only trying to understand your requirement (I use the same combination that you do). You delete unread mail presumably based on the sender / subject info? Why does it bother you that it remains marked unread in Trash? Mostly idly curious, mandar.
Macro to move mail to trash in Gmail.
Hi, I'm using mutt with offlineimap and msmtp. It's working great except for one issue: In Gmail mail is moved to the trash folder (or label in Gmail lingo) and then automatically deleted from there after 30 days. I have for days tried to create a macro that moved mail to trash and removes the 'new'flag so that the mail appears as read in the trash folder. The first macro I found on a web page with a "Gmail with mutt" tutorial. The macro looks like this: macro index,pager D "+Gmail/trash" "move message to the trash" It moves the mail to trash, but new deleted mail is marked unread in the trash folder and I would like for all mail in trash to be marked read. I then modified the macro and ended up with this: macro index,pager D "N+Gmail/trash" "move message to the trash" This one works, but iit moves to the next mail and deletes it instead of the current mail selected. If I could get this macro to not move ahead one mail it would be the solution. Are anyone here using mutt with Gmail and have a working solution for moving mail to trash and mark it read? If so please let me know how you do it. If someone has suggestions on how I could create a macro doing what I want it would be great to know. -- //Christian
