Wow - - here it is as plain and concise as possible - - I want my emails downloaded to TBird - and - deleted immediately from the server ! (That is how it - used - to work!)
Then go back to the Gmail settings page, disable imap, enable pop, set gmail to delete the gmail copy as soon as the mail is retrieved.
In thunderbird, change all the account settings to pop the mail, and you will be back to the way it was in 1998.
Except on testing - when deleting messages when using POP is to move them to trash, which then is purged 30 days later. Let me just add - I tested this out myself using an openssl client connection (effectively telnetting to the pop3s port) and issued the commands:
USER hendersj@gmail.com PASS mypassword RETR 1
And then checked the web interface. The behaviour is exactly what Duaine describes.
I don't know (and am not in a position to test) if the DELE command does the same thing or not. I suspect it does.
Jim I guess I'm screwed unless I run my own email server ?!
