Hi,
I'm using Gmail with Evolution through IMAP. The problem is that there's
no way to set Evolution to use the Gmail trash folder for deleted
e-mail.
I'm not a great user of gmail - I have an account though - and my
impression was that there was no Trash folder - when you delete a mail
in Gmail it disappears. I certainly can't see a Trash folder. I seem
to remember there was a big song and dance when Gmail was created that
you had so much space that you need never delete a message again - just
mark it that you don't want it to be seen - 'delete' always meant that
you never wanted to see the message again.
I'm able to set Drafts and Sent, but not Trash. Right now I have
to move mails manually when I want to delete to the Gmail trash folder.
The same paradigm is used through out Evo - when a message is deleted it
is marked as deleted, you then have to expunge a message to get rid of
it. That is the defined way that IMAP works. As far as I can see IMAP
to Gmail works consistently - a message is marked as deleted, then
disappears the same as if I delete a message within Gmail.
How does deletion work for you when using Gmail through the web
interface?
