Delete GMail messages

I've done a bit of searching, but maybe I missed the answer or something...
Anyway...
1. I have a Z10
2. My Gmail account is setup as Exchange (I have Google Apps)
3. I delete an email from my Z10, but it simply 'moves' it to 'All Mail'
Why is that? Why can't I\won't the system simply delete the email completely?
I don't follow Gmail's policy of 'keep everything'.
Thanks in advance
Ivan

Gmail does it differently so they can retain all your info to better serve you targetted ads and maybe so the NSA can spy on your past

How do I delete Gmail messages in iOS5

I have my Gmail account set up to push (as an Exchange account) to my iPhone 4S. Unfortunatley no matter how I try to delete email messages they are always placed in the All Mail folder, and I never see them in the trash. Has anyone had any luck deleteing Gmail messages from iOS5?

I just figured this one out. Go into settings/mail, contacts, calendars. Under the Accounts section choose Gmail. Then there should be an "Archived Messages" slide switch...it's on by default, slide it to off and you should be able to delete either by swiping to the left when you are in the "Inbox" view. If you are actually reading the message at the bottom there will now be a "trash can" icon to delete the mail. You should be good to go now.

How to delete gmail messages in Mail for Mac

I am using Mail 7.3 on my Macbook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.5.
I use Gmail for my email.
When I DELETE a message in Gmail it goes into the Gmail Archive (and stays in the All Mail folder)- it does NOT get Deleted.
Gmail help says I need to drag each message to the Trash when using Mail as Delete will not work.
Really?
This is a drag to do, besides there is no Trash folder.
I have a 'Bin' folder and a 'Deleted Messages' folder so I'm trying to use them.
Still for Mail and Gmail not to be compatible for Delete seems crazy.
I have tried changing the Mailbox Behaviours in Preferences but it seems to make no difference.

I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
The conspiracy.
Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually.
And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete
I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

I accidently deleted gmail messages on my computer. I use Apple mail. Can I retrieve them?

I use Gmail's IMAP setttings to download email to my computer. I have 3 separate email accounts on Apple Mail. Today, I accidently select all and deleted all 3k messages from my Apple Inbox. Once I did that, it automatically deleted all emails from this computer, and my other computer, along with my iphone and on gmail.com.
Is there a way to get those emails back?
I am in my Library folder and in the Mail folder, I see all 3 IMAP folders. And within those folders, there is a Messages folder that has a lot of emails that are not in my Apple Inbox? I went to gmail.com and took all the messages in my trash and moved it to Inbox. But these messages were only abot 150. I have no idea where all the 3k emails went??
Please help as I need these emails.
Thanks

... I went to gmail.com and took all the messages in my trash and moved it to Inbox. But these messages were only abot 150.
Like you said Gmail deletes them after a specified number of days. If the messages you moved to gmail's Trash were older than that, gmail deleted them.
Log into your Gmail account on its website
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth
If you have an "all mail" folder search for them there. If they're not present, they're gone.

Archive instead of delete gmail messages in Mail

Does anyone know of a way to force Apple Mail to archive messages rather than move them to the trash. I'd like to be able to keep my Inbox clear but keep a copy of all my messages. At the moment the only solution I've found is to drag the message to the "all mail" folder but this is rather laborious.
Ideally when I'd like an archive button or keyboard shortcut so that when I've finished with an email I can quickly archive and move onto the next message.
I understand it is possible to do this with Thunderbird but I like the mobileme syncing of notes from my iPhone with Mail.
Thanks

I have a similar question regarding how to save deleted messages from a .me mail account (IMAP). I like to keep my inbox limited to one page of e-mails. Rather than drag the e-mails that I have read to some on my Mac folder, I prefer just to delete them. It is much faster. However, now mobile me is permanently erasing the trash after 30 days. This has resulted in several months of lost e-mail which is now unobtainable. I have a cloned backup, Time Machine, and Mozy–none of which seem able to restore the old e-mail. There is a preference in mail which has an option to never permanently erase deleted messages. Apparently this does not apply to mobile me.
Is there any way to delete messages from the inbox and not have them go to the trash but rather preserve them forever on my Mac or on mobile me? Or, do I have to individually drag each one over to a folder to preserve them?
Thanks

I cannot delete gmail messages using Maverick

Using Maverick OSX I delete messages from Mail 7.3 only to have them reappear in my Inbox after a short time. They do not go into the trash folder. Must I open an email in order to delete it?

If you are using the native Apple email app you should be able to swipe to the left and delete. If you can't then remove and reinstall the email account. If that does work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

How do I delete a Gmail message on my phone, but keep it on the server so I can deal with it on my iMac? What settings are required, or is this impossible?

How do I delete a message in my gmail account, but keep it on the server so I can see it on my iMac when I log into gmail.com? I set up the gmail account on my iphone NOT through the colored "gmail button" but through "add account." And I've enabled IMAP in the settings when I log in on my computer to gmail.com.
Thanks!

Gmail uses IMAP. It's designed to keep all of your devices in sync. If you delete on one, it will be deleted on all of them. However, deleted means that it's in the trash. You could always retrieve it when you're using your Mac. Or, just create a folder that you move things to to deal with later.
Best of luck.

In email (gmail) when I delete a message in my Inbox the next time I open mail all of the items I deleted come back into my Inbox. How do I delete them permanently?

In email (gmail) when I delete a message in one of my email accounts inbox and then close email, the next time I open email for that account all of the deleted messages reappear in my inbox. My email settings are to move all deleted messages to Trash upon closing email but but that doesn't work in one of my email accounts. It works fine in another gmail account I have. How do I get rid of the emails I wish to delet permanantly?

I am wondering if anyone is seeing my question? This is my first time and I am not sure if I am communicating correctly. If you are seeing the question above regading deleted messages reappearing please reply so I will at least know I am getting the message out.
Thank you.

if they are no longer in the app store, you can not get them back.

Deleted drafts - message headers remain with blank content (Gmail IMAP)

I thought I had solved the "zombie" drafts problem yesterday. I changed my Gmail.com IMAP settings to "auto-expunge off" and "immediately delete the message forever". My multiple zombie drafts finally disappeared from my Drafts box. But today, the multiple headers for all those deleted drafts have returned to my Drafts box, plus more for emails I sent since yesterday. There are 34 for one message. But the content panel for each of those headers is a completely blank, gray box. I do want to store my drafts on Gmail.com. Any help?

Hmm, turns out my iMac Apple Mail has been resetting the Mailbox activity settings for some random reason which would explain the drafts problem. Wonder why?

How do I delete a message? Using Imap and gmail

I am using imap with gmail in apple mail for leopard. I get the idea that when you press the delete button it only deletes the inbox tag and it is still available for reference in "all mail" on the left window. I like this, it allows me to clear out my inbox and still reference e-mails later. Here is the question... How do I really delete a message, one I truly never care to see again? My "all mail" is getting out of control.

This is what I do:
In preferences, I set my Gmail account as recommended by Google: I UNcheck the "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors. Once I do that, clicking "Delete" from the inbox actually archives it into the All Mail, but leaves it in my mailbox.
If there is an email I actually want to delete from my account, I move it from my Inbox to the Trash folder. I do this with a MailActOn keystroke, but you can do it just by moving it or dragging it there.
MailActOn helps a bunch if you have a lot of emails. I process about 300 a day and rely on it for maintaining my sanity, especially since I can set the same keystroke to do different things in different accounts, since I "delete" and "archive" differently for different accounts.

Accidentally deleted Gmail Sent Messages in Mail; how to restore in Gmail

I use Apple Mail with snow leopard (OS 10.6.3)
In trying to troubleshoot a problem (2 copies of Sent emails showing in Apple's Sent Mail folder; one from local account, one from Gmail after syncing with server), I tried setting the Apple Email pref to Delete Sent Mail on quitting Mail.
Of course, this resulted in the Gmail server deleting ALL my Sent Mail. Although that mail CAN be found through a SEARCH (search ALL mail; FROM: my name; (for some reason, it is NOT all in trash, so needed to search on ALL MAIL), I cannot figure out any simple way to put the Sent Mail back into the Sent folder on Gamil.
I tried doing a custom search, but cannot move selected mail to Sent folder (only to Inbox)
Any help would be most appreciated- thanks.

In Mail previous versions, when I deleted a message from my Gmail account, it was locally. Now all the messages deleted in Mail, goes to "Trash" in my Gmail account. Is there anyway of avoiding it? Everyday I have to restore from "trash" to folders in Gmail account to keep my saved messages with the exception of "sent" messages which I must restore to "Inbox" folder.
Thanks for your help

Gmail Message Deletion

When I delete a message from my Gmail account it doesn't delete-it from my black berry. Can this be setup.

Have a nice day,

I just purchased my I MAC, and set up my aol and gmail to the desktop icon. After deleting some messages tonight, I tried to shut down from the menu and received the message "Shutdown canceled because mail application is still open"--icon not working.

I just purchased this IMac yesterday, and set up my two email accounts to the mail icon today. This evening, after deleting some messages, I was not able to open the mail icon nor shutdown, restart, or log off the computer from the menu. I keep receiving the message "shutdown canceled by mail application". Really frustrating.

Press Alt, Command and Esc keys to open Force Quit. Then, on the window that will show up, choose Mail and close it. Finally, you will be able to turn off your iMac
