You do? Doesn't work that way for me. I have my Thunderbird (er ...
Icedove) trash set to [Gmail]/Trash, so whenever I delete an email, it
goes right to the trash, like it's supposed to. GMail, by default,
keeps emails in the trash for 30 days from the date they were marked for
deletion, then they go away forever. I'm not sure if that behavior can
be modified; I've never tried since it suits me. I know, at least, you
can permanently delete the trashed mail on the web interface anytime you
want. I suppose it would also work from Thunderbird, but I haven't
tried that.
