It sounds like it does work, but something else is changing the settings on you later on. I don't think you've said how long your change works for. I don't recall you saying what desktop you use. It may help people narrow down what might be periodically undoing your setting. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.13.16-202.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 30 15:39:32 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
