Hello Marcus, > Gmail messages are arbitrarily depositing in Gmail Trash.
I'll try to explain what I think might be happening. Mail in Mavericks automatically uses the correct Gmail mailboxes for Drafts, Sent, Junk, and Trash, without the extra setup steps that were formerly required. However, as of 10.9.2, you’re free to choose different mailboxes to serve these purposes, and you can even opt not to store such messages on the server at all. How Mail handles Gmail as compared to other IMAP providers. If you’re used to a conventional IMAP account, you’ll notice that Gmail behaves almost the same in Mail, with a few exceptions Drafts behave differently. When you compose a message in a regular IMAP account, Mail automatically saves a copy in your Drafts mailbox every 30 seconds as well as whenever you manually click Save as Draft. Each time a new draft is saved, Mail deletes any previous draft of that message (without moving it to a Trash mailbox), so you see only one draft in your Drafts mailbox. When you compose a message in your Gmail account, Mail still saves a draft every 30 seconds, and still deletes any previous draft. However, instead of previous drafts disappearing altogether, they show up in your Trash mailbox. As a result, if you spend 10 minutes writing a message in your Gmail account in Mail, you could see 20 drafts of that message in your Trash mailbox! This behavior isn’t harmful—just empty your Trash every so often, or set up automatic Trash emptying (in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Name > Mailbox Behaviors, choose anything other than Never from the Permanently Erase Deleted Messages When pop-up menu).
