Hi all I have just finished installing / configuring my dovecot IMAP server. Im seeing something weird happing. It seems my Winblows Outlook users are experiencing a problem whereby when they delete an email, Outlook puts a line though the email, but the mail does not delete. Im not sure if this is a an outlook problem or a dovecot IMAP problem. I cant see anything in the conf file to suggest that it is a IMAP problem. If anyone has any tips or advice, it would greatfully be appreciated. Kind Regards Brent Clark

I've had the same problem myself in the past. I'm using Thunderbird now anyway, so haven't had to deal with it for a while, but I understand it is a client bug/feature/implementation-detail, and nothing to do with the server itself. Some mail clients can be told to not display mails marked as 'Deleted', but Outlook isn't one of them AFAIK. Eudora is another which can either display or hide the message.. A workaround for some clients is to get them to move a deleted mail to the trash, rather than just marking it as deleted. But it's slower if used over a low speed link :( reuben

Check global options. Something like pugre imap on exit option. -- Ar't
