I see, thanks for the pointer. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78755?hl=en "If you delete a message from your inbox or one of your custom folders in your IMAP client, it will still appear in [Gmail]/All Mail." [...] If you delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash, it will be deleted permanently." https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78892 "Do not save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/Trash folder because this will delete a message in all folders." So that's what you need to do. :) Save messages to be deleted forever in [Gmail]/Trash, then empty [Gmail]/Trash. Michael -- PGP-Key-ID: EEE7D043 Jabber: in...@jabber.de
