But there's one thing I cant stand about GMAIL imap, and that is
when
you go to delete a email and you tap the delete key, the emails get
moved to [GMAIL/TRASH]. And when you go to look for something under
ALL MAIL, Emails that you wanted to keep are mixed in with trash
until you move all of those emails under the label [ GMAIL/TRASH] to
the actual trash folder under webmail.
But you've just selected to see ALL mail, that's what you got.
If you look in an inbox, you get the mail in the inbox (likewise for
other folders).
There may be an option in gmail to instantly delete deleted mail, but
I've not gone looking (I rarely directly use gmail). Various mail
clients certainly have that option (delete is delete, OR delete is
marked to be deleted, and then it will be deleted when either the
originating folder is expunged or the trash folder is expunged).
One of the things I don't like is how gmail does those virtual folders.
It does encourage people to just leave everything in their inbox, then
it becomes a nightmare to find something or manage it. Generally, I
ignore them, and just create regular folders to store certain mail in.

Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.
