Yes, that is all correct behaviour. It will probably be more clear if you unset the "hide deleted mails" under the view menu: when you delete the message in Evo the mail doesn't disappear, it is marked as deleted and will appear with a line through it - any messages so marked will be shown in the Trash virtual folder. The other thing you have to realise is that the "Trash" folder on your server is just another folder - it happens to be one that some clients copy mail to when they are deleted - but it is just another folder. They implement the "delete" by copying the message to the "Trash" folder, then marking the message as deleted in the originating folder. The fact that it appears in the virtual Trash folder is because it hasn't actually been removed from the inbox yet - so in fact what your "online" client is doing is duplicating the mail. To permanently remove the deleted mail from your system you need to do an expunge. > > What I would expect is that in both cases the mail appears in a trash > which can be virtual, thats ok, but this trash should contain the same > on all evolution clients and online, that is not the case here. If your online client did thing properly then it would :-) P. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
