When you move the email to another folder, it does not create a copy of that email - it MOVES it, therefore there is still only one copy.
If you then delete this copy, it will be gone to the trash.
Answer: Do not delete an email if its the only copy!
ok cool that will work txs

I think I understand a bit more what's going on...
GMAIL doesn't have "folders" like we're used to in Outlook and Hotmail, instead it has "stars" and "tags".
When you "move to a folder" you actually just assign it a tag, the email stays in your main folder. You can't really make copies to other folders.
Think its wired to have list on left to do nothing with then .....wth. wish they could save emails ....

Hi,
How can I delete an Google Mail email from the "Trash" label? I can put them in "Trash" using a long press however there is no option to delete when doing a long press on the mail once in "Trash".
The only way I can delete this is to log onto googlemail web interface and delete the mail from the "Bin" (I'm a UK user).
Cheers.
Anybody???

From the webpage go to your settings and then to "LAB"... try using this "Advanced IMAP Controls".

Thanks for the reply but no joy
Still, on the G1 I can long press in most labels and press delete which sends to Trash however long pressing on an item in the trash does not give any option to delete.
This behaviour is the same with and without that LAB package enabled.
Is there any other solution?
Cheers.
Anybody know if this is possible? It's a real pain having to delete emails from the Trash via the web interface, which is what I'm doing at the moment.
I'm considering that it might be as my GoogleMail account is a UK one and hence the folder is named "Bin" on the web interface. Is this confusion of names what is causing the G1 to not give me the option to delete emails from "Trash"? (Doubt this though, as it *does* put items into "Trash" when I delete on the phone and these can be seen in the "Bin" folder on the web interface).
Has anybody successfully deleted a GoogleMail email from the Trash/Bin using GMail app? If so, how?
Thanks.
Doesn't give me the option to delete things in the trash either.
I guess the only way to do it is from the web interface.
I'm pretty sure it cannot be done through the phone UI.
What is your goal?
I've been using gmail for a number of years now and I've never had a need to manually delete anything from the trash...

Minor OCD I think - When I delete something I want it *gone*... Not a biggie I guess.

Move them into a different folder on the server, they will then be removed from your devices inbox

Emails from Exchange dont take up much noticeable space, unless u specified to download the entire message and not only the 1st 2KB/5KB and if u specified to sync ur entire inbox instead of just 1 week or 3 days behind.
Right now i have 370 items all between 1KB and 2KB, thats not more than 600KB total, that size is not even worth thinking about. The beauty of exchange sync is having exactly the same Inbox/Sent/Deleted items in both ur desktop and ur phone.
You can check ur stored message bodies in \Windows\Messaging and see the size. what u can do is check the Attachments if u download large ones u can delete them under \Windows\Messaging\Attachments.
If u still want to do it, there is only Bupahs' suggetion as there is no Delete Local functionality.
thanks for the info. when i go to windows messaging attachments there are a bunch there but i cant open them. should i just delete them?

Those are the actual email bodies, leave them alone im not sure whats the impact if u manually delete the files, besides they dont take up much space, check how many files u have and the average size.
I had the AT&T Tilt 1 (Kaiser) and had it set to sync with my work exchange server. I did find in the settings there, that you could put a check mark in the box for "Leave a copy on the server." (or similar verbage).
HOWEVER on the AT&T Tilt 2 (Rhodium) that option is no where to be found.
It makes me wonder why they would remove that option from both the device & the Sync Settings.
is there a way to delete all mails out of the trash dir without to click each?
thx
I have not found a way, and this has been a scourge upon my back since I had the Pre this summer. On the Pre, you could only delete emails (in any reasonable way) by swiping them off the screen one by one. It was laggy and took forever. On the Nexus, it's faster with the check marks, but having no ability to empty the trash, or delete all emails in a folder, is beyond ridiculous.
One of the best things about my BB Curve was the ability to click a date heading, and delete all previous emails to that point. I don't know why they can't implement the ability to select a date range and delete, or delete everything.
log into your gmail online and do it that way... *shrugs*
this thing is now the secound i cant do without loggin into gmail...
i hope they will change it, i would like to be able to mange anything right from my nexus and not empting only online...
if you add a contac ur a unable to add a group on the device to the contact only in gmail its horrible...

I think its strange the mobile version of gmail (through the web browser) is better then the app on the N1.
Does anybody know how to delete the whole inbox instead of one by one? And the recycle bin?
thanks

Are you talking about Gmail?
No, i'm talking about my hotmail account that i have on my X10. I cannot find a way to delete all the messages at one time, just separately, one by one, and that is annoying. The same with the recycle bin, i can't empty it, only erase one message at a time.
Sorry, I don't use hotmail. But I can say that using Gmail app and Gmail mobile web you cannot "select all".
you have to delete them one by one then go to the trash folder and delete them again : this the most stupid application in X10
there is another way but it's also dumb go to Settings--Applications--Manage applications--Email then press Clear data, it will delete all your emails but your data will be removed also, so you have to enter your Email and your Password again
Hope SE will fix this in the next update

You can manage it doing the work with your PC. I thing that it is the best idea
But i don't know which folder are mails stored in. Please can you tell me?
I used to use the default email widget in 4.3 to view my work inbox that has subfolders. I can't do that after the 4.4 update. I can just select an email folder that doesn't have subfolders. Anyway to do that using the default app?

This is also for me a annoying thing. I hope it would be ans solution for this in the near future
It seems to be new in the Android 4.4 version of the app. It has been logged, but no update yet.
They mention a couple of work arounds;
1) If you are trying to select your "Inbox" (which has sub folders), then just select the "unread" option
2) Move all your sub folders out of the folder you are trying to select, set up the widget and select the folder, then move the sub folders back. For some reason, it's only the interface that wont let you select a folder that has sub folders. If you already have a folder selected then it works fine when you add sub folders to it.
IMO neither option really works for me. I want to select my inbox, but it has sub folders. Option (1) is no good as I want to see read messages (in case I want to re-read them). Option (2) is no good as my sub folders have a huge amount of e-mail in them, so would take many hours to move them.
Guess we just have to wait for an update to come out...
