Greetings KKhoblock,


Thanks for posting to Apple Support Communities. From your description, I understand you're having issues deleting emails permanently from your Mac. I can help with that.


“Permanently delete emails


In the Mail app  on your Mac, do one of the following:

  • Choose Mailbox > Erase Deleted Items, then choose an account.
  • In the Mail sidebar, Control-click a Trash mailbox, then choose Erase Deleted Items.


You can set the “Erase deleted messages” option in Mail preferences to have Mail permanently erase deleted messages for you at a specified time. See Change Mailbox Behaviors preferences.”
