Delete Email from Trash?

[Casey Fowler]

We had a student send sensitive data to a class group email, accidentally.

I used another email security tool to trash that email, which successfully removed it from user inboxes, but it is still in their trash.

Without having to empty the trash of all these users, can GAM delete an email from trash?

I've already attempted to use:

gam group <Group Email Address> delete messages query "rfc822msgid:<message ID>" doit

This looked like it worked its way through each email with a succesful delete message, but the email still appears in the trash.

Is it possible to delete an email from trash with GAM?

[Ross Scroggs]

delete messages tells the API to process messages in the trash so that shouldn't be the issue.

I wonder if multiple copies of the message are in the trash?

Add this after doit: maxtodelete 100

Add in:anywhere to the query so Gmail searches for the message in trash:

gam group <Group Email Address> delete messages query "rfc822msgid:<message ID> in:anywhere" doit
