I don't want local copies of messages more than 90 days old. I still want them on the server.

The "retention option" is only dangerous if you don't realize what it is saying. I suppose I take the term "delete" literally. If a function moves a message to Trash, it isn't "deleted" it is moved to a folder called Trash (the default setting). Even when it comes to "deleting" a message there are options in "Server Settings". One of which is actually deletion. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
