> > 1. send a new message to a mailbox > 2. mark message as read via IMAP > 3. check for new mail via POP > 4. delete message via IMAP 4. is likely where your issue is, your client (the name of which you failed to mention) is most likely simply flagging the message for deletion, not issuing a PURGE command to the IMAP server. > 5. check for new mail via POP > 6. compact folder via IMAP IMAP has no concept of compacting a folder. It's the server's job to compact folders when neccessary, which in the case of Courier and Maildir, it isn't neccessary. The MBox format may require compacting. > 7. check for new mail via POP POP clients will continue to see the message until the folder is purged, configure your client to purge immediate rather than just marking for deletion if possible. > > It is not until step 6 is completed that the mail does not show via POP. This is the desired behavior. Get your IMAP client to issue the PURGE. Jay -- Jay Lee Network / Systems Administrator Information Technology Dept.
