    Can you permanently delete messages from Gmail from your Droid?

    I can delete messages from my inbox just fine. Then I try to delete them under the trash label, and it says all the messages have been deleted. But then everytime I go to delete a new message under the trash label I find all the messages are back from the dead! Freaky! Is anyone else finding this or is something up with my phone?

    Thanks guys.

    In gmail on line when you go to the trash you can permanently delete the email. I went to my phone, email/menu/folders/gmail trash and deleted a message I just deleted. It appears to be gone permanently. I saw the message you are talking about, you just have to wait for the message to load again completely before you can delete it permanently.

    Hmm, so you can only do it from gmail.com? Not through the app?
