Unable to Delete Emails in Gmail – "All Mail" Label

I am unable to permanently delete emails from my Gmail inbox, specifically those under the "All Mail" label.

After moving them to the trash and deleting them, they reappear upon checking again.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail settings, with authentication via Google, but the issue persists.

I am experiencing the same problem with other Gmail accounts as well.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
gibtoul

Yes, the all mail folder on gmail shows ALL emails, that includes any deleted emails, so they will re-appear after deletion.... if you are showing this folder in MW, disable it.... gmail removes deleted emails from the deleted folder after 30 days anyway.... cheers!

Hello,
Thank you for this first feedback. I don’t share the same impression. The emails marked for deletion with MailWasher in the "All Mail" folder are never moved to the Gmail trash. That’s why they systematically reappear. I have to delete them manually in Gmail!
Thank you for your help
