Ahh - Looks like I was too ambitious in my initial setup - I followed
a recipe setup which had:

 (setq wl-trash-folder "%[Gmail]/Trash")

I have now commented this out and my .folders file is trimmed down as well.

Initial experiments appear to confirm that deleting in Wanderlust
doesn't actually put the messages in Trash, but just removes the Inbox
label, which is exactly what I was after.

Thanks for that.

In general, how do you map wanderlust folders to Gmail labels ?

For example, is it possible to list the folders/labels in use in your
Gmail account so that you know how to access them from within
Wanderlust ?
