[MlMt] moving between google accounts does not delete from source?

[Paula R. T. Coelho]

Benny, Bill,

thanks for the replies. I´m following this up only now.
For the record…

I set the Gmail settings for:

- When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted: Auto-Expunge off - Wait for 
the client to update the server.

- When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible 
IMAP folder: Move the message to the Trash

which looked like the more reasonable ones.

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…

cheers,
Paula
