Re: Unable to expunge mails from server or local storage

[Vikas R. <vik...@gm...>]

Also, to add: in my gmail account settings, auto-expunge is turned off, and
mails are set to "Immediately delete the message forever" when it is
deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
