When you do a move from IMAP to local, the message is copied to your local system, then deleted on the server. Period. Mail may make it look different, but that's what happens when you set up a move rule. If you do it manually, via *drag and drop*, then it's a copy with a manual delete needed. If you select the message, and select "Move To" from the popup menu or the Message menu, or "Move" from the Microsoft Entourage toolbar, it's a move, and the delete is handled automatically according to your IMAP delete prefs. > > And once again, an MVP seems to be trying to change the subject.

BIG incentive to provide free tech support. That whole thing about flies and honey? It applies. Oh, and they're volunteers. They don't have to help you. Nor does anyone else. They'd be perfectly justified in telling you "Call Microsoft". Now, what's mail environment for this one server. The fact that it only happens with this one server suggests that it's less a general Entourage issue and more of an issue with the interaction between Entourage and that server. One common misperception is that all email servers are the same in the way they implement RFCs. They are not, they are not even close. Half the time, you can almost tell the POP/IMAP server by its quirks. john -- Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione. (I'm not interested in your dopey religious cult.)
