            Bug ID: 4580
           Summary: Impossible to *really* delete emails in gmail IMAP
           Product: Claws Mail (GTK 2)
           Version: 3.18.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Folders/IMAP
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: 20172017201oo7201720172017 at emailsensei.com

Steps: 
send a mail to yourself with  'Options/request return receipt'

Problem 1[specially if there are no other mails in inbox]: click on  IMAP inbox
shows nothing [if before you click on  Sylpheed's IMAP inbox, it sometimes
shows there, but then doesn't anymore after clicking on Claws'  IMAP inbox].

Problem 2: So, since it is not in IMAP inbox ,  you click on 'All mail' folder
; 'select all' [or click  on the email] so it triggers the sending of the
return receipt [without asking, bad issue but we want that for this
experiment].

1 click on 'Sent' folder and delete the now 2 emails  
2 click on 'All mail' folder  and delete the now 2 emails 
3 click on 'Trash' folder [1] and delete the now 2 emails . The  2 emails
appear greyed out in 'All mail' folder . Go to 2...endless loop. 

Partial solution: Get mail using POP, then  on IMAP 'Trash' folder [the 2nd]
delete all , then  Go to 2... repeat some times and if you are lucky  email 1
may delete, but  email 2  [the return receipt] is impossible to  delete in 
Claws IMAP,endless loop.

Annoyng but working solution [without having to go to webmail]:  
in  Sylpheed  click back and forth between IMAP's 'Trash' folder [2] and  'All
mail' folder and after max 3 times the 2 emails greyed out in 'All mail' folder
finally dissapear. 
in  Claws i tried the same many many times to no avail, it's like the same
function has more force on  Sylpheed, in  Claws works but never deletes 'for
ever' , it ping pongs between any of the 'Trash' folders [1 or 2] and  'All
mail'  folder endlessly.

I tried in  Claws: '/View/Update summary',  'Rebuild folder tree', 'Check for
new messages' and 'Check for new folders',  in various folders to no result ,
and on  webmail with both the IMAP options default 'auto' [after delete keep an
archive ], or  'delete for ever', both work the same.

I'm moving to Linux, [happens there?] but not yet, so for now in Win7 this is
maddening.
Thx
