I'm using thunderbird to access email from gmail. I have things nicely organized into folder on thunderbird. The problem comes when I delete a message in the thunderbird client, it is not deleted from the gmail all mail folder. In this way I am out of space on my gmail account. I would like when I delete a mail in thunderbird, thunderbird removes the message from the all mail folder at the same time, so it is actually deleted. How can it be done?

Thank you

I also find this quite annoying. I'm not aware of a solution. But perhaps someone will post one.
