Under moz email / edit / Mail & News Acct. settings / Server Settings try changing the following......
When I delete a message: "Remove Immediately" turn on "Clean up ("Expunge") inbox on Exit"
Yup, that's done already. No go.
Here's the way to test:
fire up moz.
Look at your inbox
Open an xterm telnet myimaphost imap 001 LOGIN myuserid mypassword 002 STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES)
Note the message count. Now, go into mozilla, and delete a message from your inbox. Switch back to the xterm, and type:
003 STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES)
On my setup, the message count is unchanged.
Now, either go to File->Compress Folder, or quit mozilla mail.
and, back in the xterm:
004 STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES)
Low and behold, the message count has dropped now.
005 LOGOUT
This exits you from talking to binc.
I just checked, and this appears to be the behavior on Kmail. If this is "RFC" behavior for imap clients, thats fine, we'll just have to deal. But it does lead to (what appears to be) a counter-intuitive behavior.
