delete message on server options (pop)

[Eric Huff-2]

Is there a way to have the message stay on the server until i
delete it in claws when using pop?

Maybe i should be using imap, but i really don't need any other
syncing.

Thanks,
eric

I retrieve mail using fetchmail and procmail leaving messages on the
server, but I do something similar to what you want. I use a python
tool called popdump[1] to delete messages off my pop server after
bogofilter has identified them as spam.

I have a patched version[2] of popdump that looks for the requested
message backwards (i.e. checks recent messages first) and then bails
as soon as it's deleted the correct one. Using this version I call it
like this:
popdump -o -c 50 -d @- -M "${MESSAGE_ID}"
The -o causes it to bail after one deletion. The '-c 50' means it
only checks the 50 most recent messages. The '-d @-' causes it to
search backwards from the end of your mailbox. And -M means it
searches the header for the given string.

I imagine you should be able to set up some action in CM mail to use
this tool. Although it may well be easier to use IMAP if you can.

Regards,
Trevor.

If i use Imap, and a message is deleted from the server, does my
machine delete it's copy, or does it put it back on the server?

Right now I have my phone set to pop, but it does delete from the
server when i delete from the phone.

Thanks,

I use IMAP accounts on my Claws and it update the local folders from
the server everytime you access it. So, if you delete a message on a
server folder, Claws won't show it anymore.

Well, I tried it, but it just adds too much clutter to the folder
list, and delay when entering folders.

Right now, I have it set to delete the messages a day after i pop
them down. How does that work?  I think i saw an email disappear
while my computer was off, so it looks like the expiration is set
on the server.  Is that right?

Thanks,
eric
