Gmail “Message left on the server”, how to automatically delete them?

Question

in the last few weeks im receiving many allrts from gmail: while reading emails from another account, sometime it return Message left on the server: "Thank you for setting the order No.475456" becose the message contains some virus or dangerous attachment (spam, obviously).

Im wonder if there is a way to tell Gmail to automatically delete those message on the original server (i dont want to delete the warning message "message left on server", but the original dangerous message).

Anyone know if is it possible?

Answer 1

Not from inside gmail, you'd have to connect to the other account directly. If the other accounts provide a webmail service that would be the simplest way.

Answer 2

Unfortunately not, i hope this gets added in the future. You can however delete the warning messages :

Create a filter in gmail.

go to settings > filters > create a new filter.

in the subject field type "Message left on server:", click next.

select the "delete it" option and click create filter.

NOTE : this will auto delete the message in gmail, however the messages are still left on the server, so you'll have to log in to the account directly every now and then to clear out the messages. It's still a lot less annoying imo.
