Is there a problem deleting mail from the server using the preview facility in v1.86 Test 44 Win32 release? When I preview my emails, I find that messages I had previously flagged for deletion are still there. BTW, congrats on the new look; the icons and colours are sensational.

What happens in the log when you select mail for deletion using the preview on server window and then hit ok?

Open the status window, click on the account, click the log tab and then after it's finished, right click and copy into a mail if you want me to see it.

I'm not aware of any issues in that feature at the moment.

Seems that items flagged for deletion are deleted, but that items flagged for download are downloaded but not deleted from server. So they are still there next time you go to view mail on the server.

If all you select on the preview pane is "download" then Scribe doesn't do any deletion. You have to select both download and delete to do both.

The preview lets you download without deleting.

Oh. I was expecting that if you chose to download, then the messages would be deleted from the server as they were downloaded. Thanks for the explanation.
