Evolution not deleting old email from POP server
Asked by
David
I am using Evolution 2.22.3.1, which is the latest on Ubuntu Hardy.
On the POP account's Receiving Option tab, under Message Storage, Evolution is set to "Leave Messages On Server" and "Delete after 7 day(s)". However, when I looked at my AT&T/Yahoo! webmail, there were still messages more than 2.5 months old.
I then temporarily setup Microsoft Outlook on my laptop to delete messages after 7 days, and it correctly deleted all messages more than 7 days old on the first connection to the POP server. Therefore, I know that deleting messages is possible.
This looks like an Evolution bug.
