How do I make Evolution delete mail in my Gmail account using POP3?
Best Answer
If you're wanting to remove the mail as you check it from the Pop3 GMAIL server, make sure you have this set in Evolutions Preferences ( Edit > Preferences > Account Settings )
You should also do as ichtyandr noted and change the setting in GMail's settings.
it's a Gmail setting, in Gmail/Settings/Forwarding and POP/IMAP on POP question number two "2. When messages are accessed with POP " choose option to delete the Gmail copy
You can simply click 'delete' to remove an email from the Inbox. By default the email will still be available in the All Mail folder. If you really want to delete an email (something you probably don't do as often as 'archive'), drag that email to the Google Mail trash folder.
I'm not entirely sure if this is going to help; however, I had the same problem and eventually managed to get rid of the Gmail account via some combination of the following:
Removing ~/.config/goa-1.0 and its contents.
Removing my Jabber account from the online accounts (it was configured to use gmail.com).
Removing a bunch of files named ~/config/evolution/sources/1377432950.21327.?@myusername.source, because they each contained a gmail.com setting.
Removing Google from the online accounts.
Adding Google back in the online accounts.
All of the above with Evolution shut down, of course. I'm not sure which of the above actions helped, but eventually Evolution didn't display the Gmail account anymore.
