Outlook Express 6.0 and IMAP Servers

[Nighthawk69]

Hey All-

I have a mailserver here at home running on Red Hat Linux but I have a small issue with the way Outlook Express 6 handles IMAP servers--maybe there is a work around for this....

When you are grabbing your mail off an IMAP server with OE and you delete an email, it is completely deleted off the server and not movved to a Trash folder. For example, I use sylpheed on my Linux box to access my mail and when I delete a message it is moved to a Trash mail folder on the server and not completely deleted until I empty that trash folder--I need OE to do this as well. Is that possible? Any ideas or tips?

Thanks!

Double checking all the OE features I can think of, I don't think OE supports this mode of operation. I think your stuck with it (you could manually drag files to your trash folder), or change clients.

Sorry,
Bill

OK, that's what I came up with as well. Thanks for the verification.
