[Dovecot] Still having problems deleting messages through IMAP
Hello, I am using SquirrelMail with the 1.0 releases, and I have even backed up to the latest stable release based on 1.0. I am using MailDirs. When I delete a message, the message still shows up in the message list until either I log out and back in or a new message arrives in that folder. Any ideas? Thanks Doug Eubanks doug at simflex.com The speed of time is one-second per second.

First the messages are marked as deleted, then they're really deleted after "expunge". Some clients also expunge them at logout or when changing mailbox. I'm pretty sure there's an "expunge" button or something similar in Squirrelmail. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
