Deleted, emptied and compressed gmails, both POP and IMAP reappear several times a day?

I am new to TB and have spent about six hours trying to delete gmails in both POP and IMAP formats only to have them reappear multiple times a day. I am using the Unified Folders option too.

TB, on Windows 11, appears to operate normally retrieving gmail every 15 minutes. I also have TB beta installed on my Andriod phone, it appears to operate normally as well.

On Windows 11, I go to the email account and delete the emails, empty the spam and trash folders....then I compact those same folders and the main email folder as well.

After a several times a day the 75 or so emails reappear in the inbox. I've only been using TB one day.

I have to have done something wrong? No software behaves like this on purpose.

It there a torture the user check box I didn't uncheck somewhere? I am at my wits end.

Please help me understand and resolve this behavior?

Thanks, Craig
