As far as I can see the message simply disappears when I delete it in
Evo and is not moved to the [Gmail]/Trash folder as I would want it to
be. It's not placed in the local trash either. All it would take is to
add an option in Evo where you could set where deleted mail should go
just like for Drafts and Sent. Other e-mail clients has while
Thunderbird has a custom setting having the Gmail trash folder used.
That could be the other option for Evo: A custom setting for Gmail.
