<p dir="auto">Benny, Bill,</p>
<p dir="auto">thanks for the replies. I´m following this up only now.<br>
For the record…</p>
<p dir="auto">I set the Gmail settings for:</p>
<ul>
<li><p dir="auto">When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted: Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.</p></li>
<li><p dir="auto">When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder: Move the message to the Trash</p></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">which looked like the more reasonable ones. </p>
<p dir="auto">I´m moving the messages using MM in smaller batches, and keeping the Gmail Trash open in the browser. I’m emptying it by hand from time to time. Sometimes there seems to be a time delay between MM Expunge and the messages appearing in Gmail Trash. Let´s see how that goes…</p>
<p dir="auto">cheers,<br>
Paula</p>

<br>
i’m using MM to move thousands of messages from one account to another (both google), with “Move to Mailbox…”.<br>
<br>
the intention is to remove the messages from the source account, but the messages keep reappearing. Labels are removed, so they show up in All Mail.<br>
<br>
is this on purpose? or?</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">This sounds like a known form of breakage at Google. It's related to their message de-duplication tricks and to the way they assemble "All Mail." I have not tested it, but it might work to first move a message to a non-GMail account, empty the trash and sync the GMail account, then move it to the other GMail account. That way, GMail will not continuously have a copy of that exact message to treat as the "real" one to which all other references point.<br>
