I am forced to use gmail because my isp has contracted out email to them
:-)

Surely you need realdelete =yes.

And why not
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['[Gmail]/Trash'] ?

That way you just ignore all the gmail duplication unless you really
want to remove junk from their servers. They probably keep copies anyway
for legal reasons, so whether that has any real effect, who knows?
