Does MailMate do any sort of automatic expunge of messages?
No.
I think maybe it does, because there are fewer messages in the
Deleted Messages folder of my active accounts than there would be
otherwise, but I can’t find anything about it in preferences or the
manual.
Many IMAP providers enforce some kind of auto-deletion of junk and/or
trashed messages. Are you sure this is not the case?
Positive, since I’m the IMAP provider :-)
If you still think MailMate is deleting the messages then we can debug
the problem off list.
I’ll have to look into it more, to see if the messages really are
there or not, and if not, if they should be (have to compare based on
when I converted to MailMate).
Have you considered a setting to expunge deleted messages after some
amount of time or some other criteria? (Eudora had a setting to keep
deleted messages in the mailbox but hidden unless requested to see them,
and had a setting to expunge based on the percent of messages in a
mailbox that are deleted, which I mention only as an example of
alternatives to time-based expunge.)
What is the recommended way to get rid of old deleted messages
