Had this happen before and eventually it cleared. Tried several suggestions online, but the trash empty’s of all email but not these three. Have tried going to my email provider and that did nothing.
If messages won’t clear from your eM Client trash folder and “are not showing in your webmail online”, then suggest you close eM Client and run the repair command which normally fixes that.
Note: Before running the repair, make a manual backup via “Menu / Backup” incase you need to restore for any reason. You can see when the backup is complete in Show Operations via the dropdown on the right of Refresh.
