Sync server deletions (is ticked) When I delete a message>Delete from server Erase deleted messages on server>Immediately However it just deletes on my phone client and not from server. With the same account settings, I deleted an email from phone and it got deleted from the gmail server as well, however that doesn't happen on my hotmail. At hotmail, only emails gets deleted from phone's client. And I tested it on my 2nd hotmail account (that doesn't have 2-step authentication), same problem as my main hotmail account. Possibly a bug? Because you can do things like move, copy emails etc, however delete function isn't syncing with the server. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
