I'm trying to figure out what the best way to delete a message with IMAP is. Here's my usage, someone tell me what I'm doing wrong:
"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. When I exit it and come back, all my X icons have been reset and the mails are as good as new.
"Move it to the Trash folder" - I'm thinking this was meant for POP3. It seemed to be working all last night, but when I woke up this morning, everything I deleted last night was back.
"Remove it immediately" - I haven't tried this yet, but I don't want to remove it immediately, I would prefer it was just marked for deletion.
Any hints? tips? comments?
thanks!
Use the Compact Folder option from the context menu when you right-click on the mail folder or just use Compact Folders from the File menu. This is definately the feature that proves the mail component was not written with IMAP in mind, despite what some people think.
