| Author/Date | inscribe: pop3 Mails deleted on server though it shouldn't |
| Geier0815 27/05/2010 8:55am | Hello,
i'm using inscribe and run in trouble. All pop-mail-accounts have set the hook "leave mails on server" and no hook on "delete after ..." but in one of my accounts the mails were deleted after receive with scribe. With thunderbird the mails of this account leaves on the server after receive. So it seems to me thats it is not the server that cause this problem. Sorry for my lousy english and thanks in advance |
| Geier0815 27/05/2010 2:21pm | Ok, I've tested it a little bit longer and it seems to me that mails which were "deleted as spam" in inscribe will be deleted on the server too. Is this a bug or a feature? Where can I change this behavior? |
| fret 27/05/2010 10:31pm | Currently that is a feature. The assumption is that if it's spam, then you don't need to keep it on the server. This behaviour is hard coded into the software. Why would you not want spam to be deleted on the server?
If there is a real reason for someone to need that behaviour then I'll look at adding an advanced option to allow it. |
| Geier0815 28/05/2010 10:56am | Thanks for your reply.
As you can see was this behavior a suprise for me. I'm using inscribe on a usb-stick as portable mailclient so that I don't like it if there will mails be deleted. The spam is important for me to train the spamfilter on my home-computer. If all spam is deleted thru inscribe the next time I don't use it the spam-filter at home needs more work to learn all the new types of spam. |
| jbw 03/06/2010 11:26am | I agree with Geier. IMHO "Leave mail on server" doesn't mean "Leave mail on server except spam". So, It sounds like a broken promise :-(
I definitely vote against that feature in POP. |
