This applies to any email provider, but we go have quite a few Gmail users who want to auto-delete spam from the spam folder.

1. Make sure your Gmail account is set to use IMAP in Settings>>Accounts>>Incoming>>Server Type

2. Click the IMAP tab, and check the box [Gmail/Spam], then Save



3. Click Spam Tools, then Filters, and Add Filter



4. Give your filter a name like Gmail Spam

5. Click Add Rule and then in the first drop down menu select Account(s)



6. From the new drop down, select your Gmail account and put a check mark in the Spam foler



7. Click the Actions tab and from the drop down select Auto-delete this email. NOTE: If you don't want to auto-delete, but instead just mark emails as spam so you can first check them over, then leave the setting as Don't override delete.



8. Click Save

Your emails in the spam folder will now be auto-deleted when MailWasher checks the mail.
