I know there are hidden preferences to control this behavior. Here's what I set: defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDeleteBehavior -string "markAsDeleted" defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmShowDeletedMessages -bool YES I've been using those settings for years. I don't know if Benny ever made them available via the GUI. BTW, I agree with Sebastian that this is the correct way to use IMAP, "older" or not. :-) I have an Xfinity email account, and SpamSieve works perfectly well for me on that account, moving messages it thinks are spam to the "Junk" folder, so I don't agree with the hypotheses that this is an Xfinity issue. -Eric > > -- > Bill Cole > [email protected] or [email protected] > (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) > Not Currently Available For Hire > _______________________________________________ > mailmate mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
