One of my account mailboxes now, when I hit delete, the message never goes to trash. It goes from unread to read, but I can only delete the mail through the GMail interface. Even if I drag the messages into the trash, they stay in the inbox?

The gmail recommendation is to 'Just mark it as deleted' in Server Settings, when deleting a message. A deleted message will appear with a red X and the header has a strikethrough. Next time the folder syncs, or if you choose another folder and then select the first folder, the message will disappear from the Threads Pane.
