No, empty folders exhibit the same behavior.
If deleting individual emails is a concern, putting them at the root level of Trash before emptying it seems to work for permanent deletion (though the overall outlined behavior has left me with some doubt.)
- mixmastamyk 4y agoWell delete the messages and then rename the folders to gibberish then. It’s possible they are keeping mail for monetization purposes but there’d be backlash if publicized.
- neogodless 4y agoRight. The problem as I outlined for me, personally, is that the various IMAP clients I've tried on Android show me the "deleted" folders. So whatever they are named, they clutter up my folder UI. My only hope is to add some additional folders/organization I don't really need, tucking them away in a somewhat less annoying place. I've been using Outlook for Android, which expands all folders in the UI, which was fine with the system I had, but with the additional folders, is getting to be unwieldy.
