Deleting E-mails from Gmail

Hi,
I have been using Mail App on my Mac for 4 months. Since then, all what I do when I need to delete an email, is simply to press back space, and it moves the email to Trash.
Last week, I have noticed that all e-mails I have deleted are still available in All Mail. So when an Email is deleted, Mail App only removes the Label.
Is there a way I can delete emails from Gmail using Mail on Mac?
Thank a lot
Best Regards,
AMDeeb

GMail's weirdness cannot be properly dealt with by any e-mail client I'm aware of.
Microsoft Outlook on PC is compatible with Gmail's "Delete" thing.
On Mac OSX, I found an alternative to Mail App that is fully compatible with GMail, which is Thunderbird.
It is even compatible with staring emails as if you are in a web browser. Also, you can change the deleted items destination to you GMail's Trash Folder, which means that you can delete them from the server without logging from a browser.
I hope using Thunderbird will be temperer, till Apple solve GMail issue either via software update (which i doubt), or via Mac OSX Lion.
If you take the time to correctly setup Mail for GMail there is no functional difference between it and Thunderbird (as far as folder display/mapping), this is a user issue not Gmail and not MacMail.

How can I delete junk mail from Gmail

This is driving me crazy. I have defined my Gmail account as IMAP in my Mail app. However there is a mailbox with the name All Mail but no Inbox. How can I just see valid messages and how can I mark messages as junk and remove them from All Messages and never see any messages from these junk senders again? For example JC Penney sends about one message a day and I have to manually delete them. I've looked at the Gmail settings via webmail and haven't found a way to get rid of them.

You could enable Mail's filter as well if you want. If you do so, I suggest you tell Mail to use Gmail's Spam folder as Mail's Junk folder. Do this by selecting the Gmail Spam folder, then go to the mail menu bar under the "Mailbox" menu "Use This Mailbox For" -> "Junk". This way, when you mark a mail as junk within Apple Mail, it will move to the Gmail spam folder, thus telling Gmail it is spam.
Alternatively, you could use Rules to kick out some of those mail messages you routinely get particularly if they always come from the same e-mail or have the similar subjects.

How to import ALL MAIL from Gmail to OSX Mail?

I am trying to migrate my mail system over to OSX Mail from Google Mail, but I can't seem to make "All Mail" show up as an option in OSX Mail, even though I have the folder checked in the Gmail settings to share with outside apps. I am on Yosemite and a MacBookPro.
How are others switching to OSX Mail from Gmail?
Thanks for your help!

You open your email - edit - then select each email to delete.
If you have an imap account you can delete it from the server and it will reflect on yoru phone.

How do I delete e-mail from iphone but not server?

Hi, I don't want to delete e-mails from my server when I delete them from my phone - I can't see how to change the settings ....can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

--> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming). I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
--> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

Safari wpn't retreve mail from Gmail

I have a problem. Safari will not retreve incomming mail from Gmail. The mail appears in the Gmail mail window but not in Safari. I get an error; Connection failed
The server error encountered was your account is not enabled for POP access. Please visit your gmail settings page and enable your account for POP access
I have very carefully followed the setup proceedure at the Gmail.com site. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275 Actually, I had my wife who is a programmer watch over my shoulder to double check. I can send email from Gmail but can not receive Right now I have two mail accounts, Comcast and Gmail. Should incomming messages from both accounts appeat in the same Safari window? If not where? I even went back to Gmail and checked my pass word.
Thanks Bob

Don't you mean that you can't seem to receive Gmail via Mail.app? If you can access your account in Safari, then there's nothing wrong with that, but if you can't retrieve via Mail after setting it up, that's something else.
Are you sure you checked your Gmail settings? You need to enable POP access in Gmail before you can retrieve your mail via Mail.app
Hope this helps,

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

Mail – cannot delete e-mails from draft box!

Hi,
I have had this problem for a while, and cannot find the solution anywhere. I hope someone knows.
"Mail" doesn't let me delete e-mails from the draft box! It looks like I delete them, and they disappear, but next time I check they are there again. The only way to get rid of "a draft e-mail" is to actually finish it and then "send" it. But, of course, many e-mails are better off in the trash bin.
It has been like this for some time now, so restarting Mail and/or the computer is apparently not the solution.
Please help out, my draft box has become huge!

Hi, same problem here! Please, help us!

how to delete e mail from yahoo server once i down loaded to my apple mail

Hi wh2,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If your Yahoo account is set up as a POP account, you can set the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" in the Advanced settings of Mail.
See this article for the steps to locate this option:
Using a POP account with multiple devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3228
In Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, choose Mail > Preferences.
Click the Accounts tab.
Select the account for which you wish to change the settings.
Click the Advanced tab.
Select the "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" option.
Also, this article has more information on the options found in the Advanced tab:
Mail (Mountain Lion): Advanced accounts preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11686
Remove copy from server after retrieving a message
Specify when you want to delete received messages from the mail server. You can deselect this option if you need to temporarily access messages from more than one location or computer.
This option is available only for Post Office Protocol (POP) accounts.

Email alert volume; Stopping deletion of mail from mailboxes

Hi--Is there any way to turn up the volume of the email alert on my earthlink acct, the account came with the MB PRo.
Also, is there any way to stop the deletion of mail from mailboxes I've created. You can stop deletion from the Inbox or whatever, but I lost important mail I'd put them in a new mailbox and poof they went, without warning, no advisory, ****.

OK great.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
