Thanks. I got it. Some more to clear... In many clients, the mails deleted are not actually *deleted*. It is moved to Trash folder. I think they are not marked as DELETE at this point right? When we delete the mails in Trash folder, then they are marked as DELETE right? after that we have to run dbmail-util -dy to mark them as PURGE? then run once again to actually delete them. am i right?
Is there any way to jump from from status 2 to actually delete them? dbmail-util -py ?
