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?
Are you leaving your office computer powered up? Sounds like POP is
just doing its thing and downloading stuff before you delete it
It could also be a configuration issue - how are you configuring IMAP to
delete things (move to trash, mark as deleted, delete immediately) - if
you have it set to "mark as deleted," it's still in your inbox until you
expunge -- in which case, the question becomes how your POP client
handles mail that's been marked, but not yet expunged.
