I generally use POP for email, so I'm most familiar with how it works. I download all my email to my office computer and store it permanently there. When I look at my email from somewhere else, I can save it or delete it, but it still ends up on my office computer for archiving, which is the behavior I want.
I've begun using IMAP as well so I can occasionally look at all the emails on the server that Spam Assassin has marked as spam and decide which ones I'd like to actually look at and which should be permanently removed. When I'm traveling, I used to have IMAP set up on my laptop so that I could delete regular email I didn't want to look at again but which wasn't deemed spam by Spam Assassin. Somehow that doesn't work any more. In my IMAP account on my laptop, I can permanently delete spam and it's GONE. But when I delete non-spam emails from the inbox, they still appear on my office computer when I return. Maybe I've just messed up some settings in Seamonkey, though nothing seems amiss. Is there some other reason that my IMAP account can permanently delete messages from the server's spam folder but can't permanently delete messages from the server's inbox? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
