When i configure any POP account in evo & connect it, it will fetech all the messages from INBOX of POP account & keep local copy. (I have leave message option checked). I have set option in receiving mail option "Check for new message in 1 Minute", so in this case every 1 minute evo will connect to POP server again & get the update for INBOX & update locally as well. Let say i want to delete some specific message from server itself from evo,what is the way to do. > > > > > > If you wish to store POP messages somewhere other than your local folder > > > tree, then you need to use filters to move the messages somewhere based > > > on their source account. > > > > In this case also finally i can see data base available under local > > provider only. > > Because it is still stored locally - it's not on a remote server > anywhere. > > > > > Why evolution will create pop folder it self if he is not using for any > > storage purpose. > > Perhaps it's used for other things; perhaps it's just a legacy bit of > code that's still being used.
