Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors

In the Mail App, click on Preferences or use CMD + comma keys, then click on accounts, then on gmail, then the Mailbox Behaviors tab, when you click where my red arrow shows it should show the full path & choices.

I'm thinking you have the wrong Trash setting.

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to?

BDaqua, thanks for the reply.however Im not that competent with the computer. how did you get to the screen that you can direct the settings? It looks complicated to me ./ I went to tabs on the top and tried to find the place where you direct the behavior of the mail box ,the trash settings ,but im not5 sure that i have themset right.
