IMAP
My Gmail box is full and I'm trying to thin it out using Outlook 2019 as an IMAP client.
The issue is that after I copy emails from Gmail to my local archive PST files, the emails stubbornly remain in Gmail's "All Mail".

My Outlook IMAP settings are as Gmail recommends and also:

When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted:
Auto-Expunge on - Immediately update the server. (default)
When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:
Archive the message (default)


I've seen Sync Issues With My Gmail Account which is very similar but the thread ended without a solution for the issue about moving emails.

How can I use Outlook to manage All Mail (or get Gmail to accurately sync with Outlook with IMAP)?
 
FWIW I changed the Gmail IMAP settings to:

When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted:
Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.


When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:
)
Move the message to the Bin


But it makes no difference when I move a msg from Inbox to a Personal Folder - the mail stubbornly remains in "All Mail".
So it seems that Outlook isn't telling IMAP to delete the msg after moving it. :-(
