Hi Stefan CT>> 1. TB will not delete messages from their folder or from the CT>> server. Pressing delete does nothing. ST> This may happen due to error in processing or because the destination ST> folder used as Trash does not exist. The destination folder exists OK and I've pointed TB at it: inbox.trash. There's also a trash folder that TB sets up with the account (dustbin icon) but that doesn't seem to appear on the server.
CT>> Changing advanced options|mail management to "mark as delete" does CT>> no such thing. ST> The fact that the message does not appear on the server as deleted ST> is really strange - this works fine here Not here, Stefan. I've just deleted a message using the delete key. It disappeared from the message pane but, when I checked the server, it's still sitting there unmarked. This may be a function of Mailsnare - I'll experiment with my other accounts and come back to you. ST> You can start The Bat! with /IMAPTRACEfilepath.ext parameter to ST> store capture IMAP session (note that it works only for one ST> session at a time) Have I got the syntax right here, Stefan? The following just opens TB with a new message with "imap.txt" as an attachment. Target: "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" /imaptrace c:\temp\imap.txt CT>> Where are deleted messages supposed to end up - assuming they are CT>> deletable in the first place? ST> To remove deleted messages permanently, use the "Folder|Compress" ST> menu command - this actually will get message counters in sync Something odd is happening here, then, because if I purge|compress all folders in my account tree it doesn't seem to act on all sub folders. If I select the folders individually the message count does, indeed, update as you say. -- regards Clive Taylor Using TB 2.00 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
