Unfortunately replacing Outlook is not an option. Thank you in > advance for any suggestions or advice, Dave. Turn off auto-purge in the Squirrelmail configuration (./configure). In all the Squirrelmail installs I've done, I've had to manually enable this, so someone over there manually enabled it. (Personally, I hate the way Outlook does it ... it's the only IMAP client I've used that doesn't move deleted messages to a Trash folder.) A better solution would be to archive the messages on the server, and not rely on IMAP clients to not delete messages. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-2 CCNT CCLP Network Support Technician School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] fcash-ml@xxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
