Using Thunderbird 52.5.2 on Windows 10. Connecting to GMAIL IMAP account. Have Thunderbird server settings to move a deleted message to GMAIL->Trash folder. This works great; when I delete a message from my Inbox, it is deleted from the Inbox view and from All Mail, and I see it in Trash. Then in 30 days it is removed from the server. Perfect.

But when I instead move a message from my inbox to a local folder to keep, the message is removed from my inbox view, but remains in GMAIL->All Mail. Therefore, I assume it will never be deleted from the server. What is the Thunderbird or GMAIL setting (or both) that will cause emails moved to a local folder to be either immediately deleted from the GMAIL server All Mails folder, or moved to GMAIL Trash folder?
