Hi, list,<br>
<br>
I checked my GMail account via IMAP (using KMail, if you /must/ know)<br>
tonight. Much to my surprise, the "All Mail" folder had well north of<br>
21,000 messages in it, dating back to to sometime in 2005 when I first<br>
got my GMail account. I'm /quite/ sure that I deleted that email (using<br>
the GMail interface, of course), so I was quite surprised to see that<br>
they had kept all that detritus around for 3+ years. Anyone else here<br>
had a similar experience?<br>
<br>
I've never trusted Google, so this isn't helping their cause with me...<br>
<br>

<br>Regardless, the fact that I do not see messages that I've deleted may have no bearing on whether GMail has actually deleted them.<br><br>Andrew<br></div></div><br></div>
