K-9 not deleting emails

Hello there, I just installed K-9 on my Android 14 and added some email addresses. Evewrything seemed fine untill I looked at the web server of all those email addresses (mostly gmail and outlook) and noticed that all the emails that I deleted from K-9 were still in the inbox. I tried to empty the trash bin on K-9 but those emails were still in the inbox. Inside K-9 I don’t see those emails anymore, but they are still on the original servers.

I have the options When I delete a message > Delete from server and Erase deleted messages on server > Immediately for all these accounts.

Can someone help?

Quick check, not sure this is it.

From the menu top left, select, choose Settings

Choose the server from the list

Choose Folders

Trash folder

It should have a value. Ideally “Automatic (Trash)”. If not, set it to the trash folder on the server side.

Was there a value there?

Yup, it’s set on Automatic (Deleted). Should I change it directly to “deleted" or it would be the same?

An update: I actually tried changing all the “automatic” to the direct folders and it seems to be working for all the email addresses!
I hope this thread may help other people with similar issues!
