OT - IMAP mail server with trash folder?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Depends on the mail client.
Apple mail and mozilla move messages to trash folder, and I think you 
can tell outlook etc to do the same.

Check under prefs for what happens when you delete messages, this works 
just fine with dovecot.
