Thanks for your help

It appears I do not have a trash folder for this particular account and don*t seem to be able to create one either. How do you do it?

This relates to my Gmail POP account. By delete permanently I mean marking the message, right clicking and selecting Delete permanently

Yes, it is Gmail so this may well be the case. The Gmail settings are to delete messages from the server when downloaded.though - so I don't really understand what's happening

Yes
Opera is the client for my Gmail account. The settings are to delete messages from the server when downloaded. Thanks for responding so quickly.

So if it is Gmail, you'll have to go online and change your settings there so that Opera Mail can actually delete messages from Gmail,

If IMAP, on the "IMAP" tab in the account's properties, do you have a trash folder set?

When you say "delete permanently", are you referring to shift + del (or right-click -> del -> delete permanently" or are you just referring to moving messages to the trash and then emptying the trash?

Are you removing the messages from the server when you download them?
If not, they may well be downloaded again.

thanks for responding so quickly. sometimes the messages in question are not even in the trash folder- a few are, as i said, opera mail seems to have a mind of its own.
