When I delete mail on my mac, (In both google and iCloud inboxes) the mail disappears as soon as I press the delete button, as if it is being moved to the trash folder. If I then view the contents of the trash folder, the deleted messages are not there. Looking back at the original inbox, the emails always reappear as if they had never been deleted in the first place. This is EXTREMELY annoying. Does anyone have any fixes?

If you're deleting mail and it's not winding up in the Trash, then you're not really deleting them which is why they're still showing up in your inbox.
