not sure I if I get this question right. I assume you've already enabled 
imap in gmail? If not, check 'Q. Can I use imapsync to transfer from or to 
Gmail accounts?' question in

To finally delete mails you have to move (or copy) them from the 'All 
mails' folder to Trash. When the mails are located in the trash folder you 
can do the usually delete/expunge and the mails will be gone forever.
