I really do need some means of get rid of the ghosts because they clutter things up and yes, multiply. Filtered, comes again, refiltered, ad nauseum. The only way now to clean the inbox is to revove the /var/mail/username file, then delete the inbox which will be regenerated. The /var/mail file will be recreated when mail comes in. No way to delete "local" folders :-( Local inbox has loads of ghosts. Moving legit messages, removing "mail" folder, making it anew, editing filters going to it, replacing the messages, this is a bum procedure which is hardly worth it until a particular folder is really loaded. Can dovecot be setup to auto-expunge like gmail? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
