Looks like my IMAP server is BSDI 4.1 running IMAP4rev1 v10.234. I use the mailserver B method, although there are still some issues: * If I move a single mail to a folder, it marks the mail as deleted from the inbox and moves the mail to the appropriate folder. * If I move multiple mails to a folder (using Shift/Ctrl Select), it disappears from the inbox *and* moves the mail to the appropriate folder. Later, the "moved" mails come back.
Also, the deleted flags sometimes get cleared randomly, but restarting Mozilla fixes that. I'm using Mozilla 1.2a. Hope this info helps other Mozilla users with IMAP emails :) Derek wrote: > >> "Mark it as deleted" - I do this, the X icon appears, but I can't seem >> to find an Expunge/Purge function anywhere in the mailer.
