Okay, so one time? In band camp? MartinC <noreply@nospam.invalid> was all, like: --> Sat, 02 Aug 2014 12:57:00 +0200 <lrig5s$122$1@dont-email.me> > Am 02.08.14 um 02:40 schrieb Lewis: >> At least with IMAP the mail is going to almost certainly exist on other >> machines or devices. > I'm not using IMAP, but just out of curiosity - isn't there a > (technical) way that (any) email client software can actually delete a > mail, even from an IMAP account, if the user wishes to do so?

However, that deleted mail is still going to exist on the other machines before they sync to delete, for example. Also, in general, IMAP mail is MARKED as deleted, but is not actually deleted until some further action is taken. It would take a look more effort to really remove a message, and it's hard to imagine it happening accidentally. > And: Is it possible to set rules in Apple Mail or Thunderbird etc. to > automatically delete certain mails, once they pass some filter? To mark the messages as deleted, yes. To actually delete them? I don't think so. > Because - if you accept that beta software may accidentally kill mails > through POP3 access if it fails, then why would beta software never kill > a mail through IMAP access if this deleting process is actually > something that the software is capable of in general? Because the deleting, moving, tagging, etc of IMAP messages is done by the server which is *not* running beta software. -- and I swear it happened just like this: / a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss, the Gates of Love they budged an inch / I can't say much has happened since / but CLOSING TIME
