How do I empty the All Mail folder?
Have tried to change the all mail folder thru properties. I change the settings with no effect. I delete old mail in this folder only to have it come back.

All Mail is your archive, a storage place for all the mail you've ever sent or received, but have not deleted.
You can see a list of archived messages by clicking All Mail.
'If you delete a message from your inbox or one of your custom folders in your IMAP client, it will still appear in [Gmail]/All Mail.'
If you are using IMAP access, then deleting the messages locally only removes them from the selected folder, but leaves them in All Mail. (IMAP delete is Gmail Archive.).
Deleting from All Mail effectively does nothing, so the messages will reappear. To delete them from the server, you need to copy or move them from their folder (not AllMail) to the [Gmail]/Trash folder.
