Deleting a mail on an IMAP server is a two step process: marking the mail as deleted, and then expunge the mail marked as deleted. Apparently Thunderbird only does the first step which is why you see the mail as gray with an icon in SquirrelMail. > Deleting a single mail will clean up the entire list; e.g. if I removed > 20 mails in Thunderbird, Squirrelmail will show 20 grayed rows, moving > just 1 mail (in Squirrelmail) to "Trash" removes all 20 lines. Your SquirrelMail is likely to be configured to expunge automatically when doing a delete. When you use SquirrelMail to move a mail to Trash it really creates a copy of the mail in Trash, then marks the original as "delete" and optionally (depending on configuration) expunges everything marked as "delete". The expunge configuration is done by the system administrator on the server ($auto_expunge in config/config.php or use the configuration tool's folder configuration). Your problem is that SquirrelMail and Thunderbird are configured differently. If you're the SquirrelMail administrator you can choose to reconfigure either SquirrelMail or Thunderbird, otherwise you have to reconfigure Thunderbird (which also happens to be my recommendation). I haven't used Thunderbird myself, but searching for "thunderbird expunge" gave me the impression that you can set mail.imap.expunge_after_delete to true using Thunderbird's Config Editor (Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor) and that it would solve your problem. I suggest you read the Thunderbird documentation for more details about this setting. > I checked open bugs and did some Google-ing but can't seem to find > anything similar. > > Server side I'm on SVN r14363.
