The Natural Philosopher <tnp@invalid.invalid> writes: > My limited experience of IMAP suggests that only when you delete mail on > the client, does it delete it on the server. RFC 1176 --------- Interactive Mail Access Protocol - Version 2 Additionally, IMAP2 offers several facilities for managing individual message state and the mailbox as a whole beyond the simple "delete message" functionality of POP. [...] The client can alter certain data (currently only the flags) by a STORE command. As an example, a message is deleted from a mailbox by a STORE command that includes the \DELETED flag as a flag being set. Other client operations include copying a message to another mailbox (COPY command), permanently removing deleted messages (EXPUNGE command), checking for new messages (CHECK command), and searching for messages that match certain criteria (SEARCH command). [...] STORE sequence data value The STORE command alters data associated with a message in the mailbox. [snip] EXAMPLE: A003 STORE 2:4 +FLAGS (\DELETED) marks messages 2, 3, and 4 for deletion. [...] EXPUNGE The EXPUNGE command permanently removes all messages with the \DELETED flag set in its flags from the mailbox. [snip] So unlike POP3, IMAP doesn't have a delete command per se. You can mark messages with the DELETED flag. IMAP does have an EXPUNGE command that actually deletes/removes a message from the server. It looks like it depends on (1) what the client software actually says to the server when you tell the client to do $SOMETHING and (2) whether or not the server supports or allows you to execute RFC-defined commands. An example of (1) would be a client that issues a STORE command to set the delete flag followed by an EXPUNGE command when you delete your local copy versus another client that only deletes & expunges on the server after explicit directions from the client's user. An example of (2) would be the allegation that GMail keeps your email forever regardless of what you do with the their (or any?) client. Just disabling the EXPUNGE command or causing it to do somthing other than actual expurgation should be easy enough for a entity the size of Gwwgle. -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada
