#6617: Deleted email is not removed from the IMAP server ----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: drcouzelis | Owner: bga Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: | Version: R1/alpha2 Servers/mail_server | Keywords: imap email delete deleting Resolution: | Blocking: Blocked By: | Platform: All Has a Patch: 0 | ----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by stippi): At least with my GMX account, the situation has improved a lot since r40399. The read/new status is synced quite well. Mails are marked as deleted on the server if and only if you use Tracker to immediately delete the files, not move them to the Trash (Shift+Delete). If you first move them to the Trash and then empty the Trash, it won't work either. Also, the mails stay on the server, but with a /Deleted flag. In GMX, it means I will still see them in the inbox folder of the web interface, only striked through. All in all, I think the problems can only be fixed when IMAP is implemented as a dedicated file system. Otherwise the combination Tracker/Mail cannot work. The dedicated file system could fake the Trash folder at the root directory, which is where Tracker or Mail would want to move deleted mails. Moving deleted mails to another IMAP folder is a better solution IMHO, since it has the undo capability (regardless of whether in Haiku or via web interface), and it doesn't leave tons of "strike through" mails in the inbox. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6617#comment:6> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
