Mail and Gmail

[spin360]

Can anyone explain why Gmail recommends these IMAP settings for Apple Mail?

From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors

Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > leave unchecked

Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > leave unchecked

Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never

Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > leave unchecked
Store deleted messages on the server > leave unchecked

I was searching how to delete all the crap that was supposed to be deleted from my Gmail account that ended up in the "All Mail" folder and ran across the above recommendations. Can somebody explain the logic behind it for me please?

Have you read the link you posted? It explains why for each of your questions and you've incorrectly stated what it recommends for drafts.
