There are currently several spam mails sitting in the my account’s trash bin for quite some time now and I want them gone forever. Tried the “Empty Trash” functionality but trash just blinks for a moment then re-displays these spams again. Are there any work-around to this? Mine’s the freeware version.
ScreenCap: eM Cient Empty Trash

If those emails “are showing online” in your Trash / Bin folder then close eM Client and “delete them online” and then reopen eM Client.
If those emails “are not showing online” in your trash / bin folder, then try running the manual database repair on eM Client which should then clear the trash emails that won’t delete.
To manually repair eM Client database for Windows, see @Gary post link below.

To manually repair eM Client database for Mac, do the following.
Close eM Client and then “open the Terminal app via either Launchpad or Utilities” on the Mac. Then Paste and run the following command.
/Applications/eM\ Client.app/Contents/MacOS/eM\ Client /dbrepair
Then reopen eM Client and see if they are gone.
Thanks. That did the job.
I was wondering why the database repair is a separate command when they could’ve just include them in the menu or something.
Anyways, thanks again.
