On my laptop gmail is going straight into the trash folder but not on my iMac why?

I am finding that mail in my gmail account is in the trash even things I want to keep. This happens on my powerbook but not on my laptop. I am using Elcapitan on both.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

That is not correct. Mail DOES automatically go into the Trash for me also.


What kind of mail? All? Some specific? What type of mail account - IMAP or POP?

If a message is considered junk it should be moved to the junk mailbox, but there is no automatic way that I know of that would, upon arrival, take messages to the trash, unless there is some rule that mandates it; said rule may be on the server side, but only in case of IMAP, not POP.
