[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1951410, member: 204485"] In which case I think your answer probably lies in Google help. it seems like a long standing issue. Like lots of people I imagine, I very seldom go to gmail on a browser and I don't use the gmail for Mac or iOS apps. Yesterday was the first time I've manually emptied the trash Bin for years and as it only had 80 odd trashed emails I have to assume that it is automatically being emptied and corresponds to what I trash on Spark and or Mail. I do use Mail occasionally to launch SpamSieve as this does not yet work with Spark. One thing that did crop up in my reading was a comment from a user on Reddit, "If your Gmail trash bin is not emptying after 30 days, it might be due to a few reasons. One possible cause is using the Apple iOS Mail app to access Gmail, as there have been reports of the app deleting Gmail emails without permission and without warning." So there are some issues with the process and the fault could be on either side of the fence. It seems like it [I]just works[/I] for the majority of users so you may need to settle for a workaround until it either gets worse or fixes itself. [/QUOTE]
