When choosing to delete an email via a filter, the message is sent to the trash. Is there any way to permanently delete it instead? I tried deleting it twice with two different filters (the logic is that if you delete a message in the trash, it should be permanently deleted), and, although the second filter is run, it doesn't permanently delete the message. |

The "Delete it" command in GMail means "Move to trash" (if I recall correctly that was the exact wording some time ago), so it doesn't matter how many times you delete it, it will be kept in the trash. And since the spirit of GMail was since the beginning "we offer you enough space so you don't need to delete any message", I don't think they are going to change it (also, it would make easier deleting emails permanently by mistake). |

I have managed to get halfway to making automatic permanent deletion possible. There's a python script on this post which logs into your account and deletes all emails in the Trash folder. Can keep polling for new emails in the Trash folder and delete them if found. It might be useful for you |
