In TBird (a) download messages is checked (b) Leave message on server is UNcheck -
yet, after they are downloaded to TBird, on webmail, they are transferred to the Trash folder.
P.S. AT&T - swears - it's NOT their side !
TIA, Duaine
I'm not sure I understand the problem. That's how the system works. When you download your e-mail it is sent to trash. When you delete spam it goes to trash. A day or two later it all disappears from trash. It's kind of a backup in case you delete something and need it. If you don't collect it it just goes wherever used electrons go for recycling. No problem.
OK, I'm using TBird to access my @att.net account. AT&T only SUPPORTS their WEBMAIL service. So, even though I'm telling TBird to download my email - and - telling AT&T services to delete it - instead - the emails are being downloaded then they are moved to the TRASH folder. THEN to delete from - THEIR - TRASH folder, you have to login to their WEBMAIL service and then delete them from the trash folder.
In the past, TBird would download them - and - tell AT&T to delete them - which would really happen.
Which is the whole point about using an email client - they are NOT stored on any "cloud" server.
BUT, they do get deleted in a day or two. I don't know if it is on a database size or time limit, but they do go away. I use the same service and some days I have hundreds in the trash folder and the next time I look its down to just a handfull. I just looked and my trash folder says 999+. None are older than last Sunday. I do not delete my trash folder. Maybe it auto-deletes weekly. I don't see it as an issue. I have nothing to hide. If anyone wants to read my e-mails all it will do is bore them to death. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution. Cats are tiny little women in fur coats.
