As I have not had occasion to USE IMAP, you are correct - I
would not know the settings; they do not appear with POP3
accounts. After all, POP3 is different than IMAP.
And after all, this *is* a discussion about POP3 servers.
Which DO NOT have a "mark as deleted" option.
With no "mark as deleted' option, there are no "red exclamation
points"
With no "Mark as Read" option, the messages are NOT visible in
the Inbox.
So Peter, YOU are the one who has "no business giving an
opinion", as you could not even understand that we were not
discussing IMAP servers and their attendant functions.
Unless you can show some relevance in emphasizing IMAP functions
in a POP3 discussion?
