If that's true, use pop, and disable imap, set Item #2 on the configuration page to delete Gmail's copy when fetchd by pop. Thunderbird will download them, set it to delete Except that Google's documented behaviour when deleting messages when using POP is to move them to trash, which then is purged 30 days later. That doesn't meet Duaine's requirement of immediately purging the message from the server.
Google's POP settings don't seem to be able to do what he wants. IMAP seems like it should, though.
I have been checking this. When using an email client and IMAP, moving a message out of the inbox to another folder, including trash, moved it immediately on the server. If then deleted from trash, it was then deleted from the trash folder on the server. If the email client was configured to delete the message immediately, then the message was completely removed from the server (other than the NSA's copy <g>). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
