Gmail IMAP is broken to the point that any rational human being would struggle to understand how its designers created it the way they did. Indeed, as you discovered, deletion operations take an extraordinarily long time, during which the messages are still available. Don't worry; eventually they will disappear.
If you want to make Gmail faster and less privacy-invasive, you may arrange for it to delete mail immediately when you remove it from the Trash, instead of archiving it under All Mail. You may also switch off All Mail, in order to make the client download only one copy of every message. Or you could just switch to iCloud. That's what you're paying for, after all. :) Cheers, Sabahattin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
