Completely erase messages from Gmail without send them to Trash?

How can I configure The Bat! in order to erase completely the messages from Gmail's inbox, not to send them to Gmail's Trash folder, once I've downloaded them to my hard disk with the program?

PS: Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish.

if I read you correctly, you're talking about server side, so that's no TB issue, but a gmail issue. Gmail is developed as a webmail client and the pop3 protocol is added as an afterthought with some peculiar behaviour.
I'm not using gmail myself, but I suggest you start looking at the gmail options. Maybe another gmail user can point you to the exact place.

Edit: I'm wrong. "Delete" in gmail means send msg to Trash, except in the Trash and Spam folders, where "delete forever" means send to bitbucket. Sorry. (Discovered I had almost 3000 msgs in Trash.)

You can't
All that is on the Gmail server setup
You can configure Gmail not to save messages you sent, which it does by default even if you sent them through your local email program such as the bat.

However Trash is deleted automatically when it ages 30 days and they DID install an "Empty the trash" feature so you no longer have to delete all messages from several pages one page at a time

What is in the trash shouldn't be bothersome as you never see it unless you go to your account via the web page. IF you do then just open the trash folder and empty it

But the bat (nor any other email program as far as I know) will clean gmail trash
