[MlMt] Gmail message not moving to trash or changing read status

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has run into the following behavior, or can think of 
why it is happening.

Basically, it seems like MM is not moving Gmail inbox messages to the 
trash, and not changing their read status. I know that the MM/Gmail 
interaction is tweaked insofar as tags are concerned, but my setup has 
worked for years, but something changed in February.

The flow is this: a message comes into the Inbox. It is matches certain 
criteria, it is deleted (using the “Delete”) action in the rules, 
and then a tag is added to it; say, “Marketing”. I am *not* 
subscribed to the “Marketing” folder in my gmail account from the MM 
side, since I want the tags to show *as tags* (for reason irrelevant 
here). The message remain unread, and I see it in a MM smart mailbox 
defined by the “Marketing” tag. (I’m not sure why it is deleted 
first and then tagged, as opposed to tagged and deleted; I set this up 
ages ago and remember having a reason, but I don’t remember what).

This all looks perfectly fine from the MM side — the message’s 
source mailbox shows as Gmail/Trash and it is tagged properly. But the 
message is not actually moved to the Trash folder in Gmail, and, even 
after it is read in MM, remains as unread in Gmail. If I flag it, it 
does not become flagged in Gmail. However, if I flag it in Gmail, it 
becomes flagged in MM; but if I then unflag it, it does not unflag in 
Gmail.

I don’t think this is related to an update in MM, since the timestamp 
on my MM app is from October, and the issue seems to have started in 
February. But I’m using the 6290 version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Zvi
