I have 5 different Gmail email groups in my Thunderbird installation. In 4 of the accounts when I delete an email they are gone. In one account deleted emails show up in the trash list. How do I change that account so the deleted emails are gone and trash is empty.

Check 'server settings' for the account and set the desired setting there for deleting immediately.
