So recently my mail I delete off my EVO has not been being deleted off the gmail site. They are still there in the inbox when I log in although they are marked as read. Is this a setting I may have accidentaly changed ?

Thanks in advance if anyone knows :)

Try going to menu-->settings-->Accounts & Sync--> And sync your google account from here.

See if that works.
 
Nope doesn't get rid of the email

Hmm, I don't know.
I'll try to see on my phone/gmail ...


okay, think I found a solution.
Go to your inbox on your phone. Click menu-->refresh.

Now check your gmail on your computer. It should be straight.

Nope this doesn't work either. Email is still in my inbox on the site.
 
Is it still in your inbox?....per is it on your all mail box on gmail? Are you new to gmail?....just making sure that you understand how gmail "deletes" emails.
 
I know this is an old thread, but since this has happened to me twice now and this was one of the first hits I got on a Google search for the problem, I felt I should post the solution that worked for me in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

Everything was set correctly for me: sync settings, account info, etc. A manual refresh had no effect. Mail would come in normally on my phone, but when I deleted it from the phone it wouldn't sync the deletion with my Gmail inbox on the website. In both cases, it worked properly for a while before the sync failures began.

The solution I ultimately discovered was to go into the Market app, search for Gmail (it did not show up in the "My apps" list), and open the link for the official Gmail app. It showed that there was an update available, so I downloaded and installed it. After that, sync works perfectly. Either there was a bug that got corrected in the update, or something got borked on my system and was reset when the update got installed.

Both times this issue happened, it was after I restored a Nandroid backup of the stock configuration on my Droid X. No idea why it would cause that behavior to occur, but since flashing other ROMs hasn't created the issue it seems worth mentioning.
