Sorry, you are correct.

?

I should have mentioned that I’m using the Imap interface.

?

I think this is why when I delete something from Outlook, it also gets deleted from the g-mail server.

?

Now, my quandry is figuring out how to clean up some of my very large g-mail folders.

?

I originally thought that I could just clear out my important e-mails folder, but I think if I do that, those e-mails will be gone from my sent folder, and my all mail folder as well.

?

So, I’m trying to figure out the best way to proceed here without risking loosing any e-mails I wish to hang onto.

Tom, first of all I did not see whether you said anywhere if you set up your Gmail account in Outlook using IMAP or if you are still using the old POP3 protocol which nobody should really use any more. Yes, I know I am probably going to get some nasty replies from some fossils on the list who think POP3 is similar to the second coming, but if you use your Gmail account on your computer and possible on your iPhone, then POP3 has no place in this world any more.

In fact, it is POP3 where you had the option to “delete from server”, the option you mention in Outlook Options > Advanced simply means that you have to confirm when you delete a message you already deleted, i.e. you first delete the message from your Inbox, then you now go to your Deleted items folder and you delete it from there. Personally I have that box unchecked because once I delete messages from my Deleted Items folder, I am pretty sure I want them gone and I don’t have to be prompted yet again whether I want to do this.

Now, as far as the protocol goes, if you have set up your Gmail account using IMAP, then any change you make in Outlook will be reflected on your Gmail account. Basically, the accounts sync which is why IMAP or, if you are using Outlook.com, Exchange is a much better protocol for people who access their email on more than 1 device. If you delete a message in Outlook on the computer and you then go to your iPhone (just as an example), that message will also be gone. If you reply to an email on your iPhone and then go to your computer, this message will shows as “replied” and the message you sent will be in your sent items folder.

Jen:

?

In Outlook Classic, under advanced options, I have an option that says ask before permanently deleting items in the deleted folder for all accounts.

?

I have this option checked, so always get asked that question before closing the program.

?

I just did a test by sending myself a test e-mail.

?

I checked on the g-mail website, and the test e-mail was indeed there.

?

The message? also came through to Outlook Classic, at which time I deleted it.

?

How do you save email to put in a folder in your document’s?

Thanks Patti

Richard:

?

I actually do save extremely important e-mails in separate OneDrive folders, and on an external hard drive, and those saved messages ?have the .msg extension.

?

It’s those other thousands of messages with varying levels of importance that I’m not sure how to handle.

If Outlook Classic is configured to delete from the server, then deleting them in Outlook should take care of it.

I've been in your shoes with thousands of emails that I let stack up, but since I use an Outlook.com account, it didn't become a storage issue, so much as a management issue.

I ended up deleting tons one by one over a long period of time and now try to keep it manageable and created a few folders where I want to keep things so I move emails into them as needed and delete the rest.

I suppose you also could save messages as .msg (I think that is the Outlook extension by default) and keep them on an external drive so you could open them later in Outlook?

?

That might be worth asking Microsoft about since that is really an Outlook question and not a specific gmail question.

?

HTH,

?

?

?

Richard:

?

I have Outlook classic configured to delete mail from the server once it is no longer needed, so I’m wondering if I can’t just do things through Outlook itself?

?

Will do more inquiring into the difference between all mail and important mail in g-mail, and would appreciate the thoughts of others as well.

?

Tom Behler

?

My initial thought is that you have to do this from the gmail web site.

Or at least, check your gmail settings so that if you delete something on your computer, it deletes on the server.

Not knowing all the details of the account type etc., it is hard to be more confident, but even then, with gmail, I'm not that knowledgeable.? But I understand the concept of how it often does things.

I suspect the difference between important mail and all mail, is that gmail has deemed certain emails as important; whether you have or not.

That might be a good AI question of ChatGPT, Copilot, or Peplexity, etc.

?

Something like, what is the difference in Gmail between imprtant messages and all messages?

?

Good luck,

I manage my personal g-mail account through Outlook Classic as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription.

?

I recently Got a notification from Google that my g-mail account space is 50% full.

?

I have three folders that literally contain thousands of messages:

?

My sent folder;? my all mail folder;? and a folder called important mail.

?

I’d like to clear out these folders to some degree, but am not quite sure how to go about it efficiently.

?

I would be happy to ?save sent e-mails from the last year or two.

?

I also wouldn’t mind paring my all mail and important mail folders back significantly, but am not sure what the difference is between all mail and important mail.

?

I do have Outlook Classic set to automatically delete e-mails from the server whenever I invoke the delete function and indicate that I’m sure of my deletion step.

?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Whatever the cause of the problem, you should be able to avoid it by not using the standard control-v paste command, but instead the following sequence:

?

Alt, then h, then v, then t.

?

This will paste the material as unformatted text, which is fine when you don’t need to keep the original formatting.

I don’t find “leave copy of message on server” in advanced options in my version of Outlook Classic under Microsoft 365.

?

I think that since I have checked ask before permanently deleting items in the deleted folder for all accounts, It removes them from both the Outlook and g-mail servers.

At least I think that’s the case, since after I deleted my test e-mail in Outlook, it was no longer on the g-mail website either.

Again, if I’m wrong, I hope someone will correct me, but this is my experience at least at this point.
