Can i set gmail to delete unread mail in trash

Yes, you can set up Gmail to automatically delete unread emails in the Trash folder. Here's how:

Method 1: Using Gmail's Filters

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
4. Click on "Create a new filter."
5. In the "From" field, enter @ (this will match all emails).
6. In the "Apply the label" dropdown, select "Trash."
7. Click on the "Create filter" button.
8. In the "Apply the label" dropdown, select "Delete it."
9. Click on the "Create filter" button again.

This will create a filter that moves all emails to the Trash folder and then deletes them if they are unread.

Method 2: Using Gmail's Labels

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Go to the "Labels" tab.
4. Click on the "New label" button.
5. Enter a name for the label, such as "Delete Unread Trash."
6. Click on the "Create" button.
7. Go back to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
8. Click on "Create a new filter."
9. In the "From" field, enter @ (this will match all emails).
10. In the "Apply the label" dropdown, select the label you just created.
11. Click on the "Create filter" button.
12. In the "Apply the label" dropdown, select "Delete it."
13. Click on the "Create filter" button again.

This will create a filter that applies the label to all emails, and then deletes them if they are unread.

Note: Make sure to test these methods by sending an email to yourself and verifying that it is deleted from the Trash folder.
