[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
