client won't expunge deleted messages
As a matter of fact, I have tried different clients, but it seems that the only way to actually get rid (yes, permanently) of messages is through the web interface.
Yes, I do use the command 'expunge', or 'compact' in the client, whatever the case may be. The deleted messages seem to disappear, but come back as soon as I refresh the view. Is that by design? |

Have you checked your Gmail Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings?

Hmm.. Sounds promising, but I just went to that page, and I don't see anything but (1) Enable/Disable IMAP, and (2) Configure your email client.
Edit: my bad - I never got to see those, as I've been using basic HTML - had to switch to standard view. Thank you very much. Edit: Only, expunged messages keep reappearing Last edited by vht : 17 Dec 2016 at 05:01 AM. |
