[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1902119, member: 396914"] The deletion/retention of Gmail on their servers is entirely up to them. You may get notified of them purging the server, or not. I'm not a Gmail user, so I don't know how they set things up. I suspect their policy is buried somewhere in all of the legal stuff you agreed to when you signed up for Gmail. I only say that because you may or may not be losing anything in this adventure. IMAP mail service protocol, which I think is what Gmail uses, will delete whatever you delete on the Mac from the servers. If you don't want it, they certainly don't. That's how it works. I'm curious, are you using any other email application? Or are you dropping out of the email universe altogether? Which one you are looking for will have some impact on options. [/QUOTE]
