ok i have compared this with a nearly equal setupped server but without
virtual plugin, but with same thunderbird functions
here the mail gets into mail cur after pop3 download, and gets deleted
on the server if i delete them in tb pop3 inbox ( wich is another option
which should work equal as delete after x days ) so i am nearly sure
there is a problem with virtual plugin or in my using it
speculate mail cant be found to delete if it stays in maildir new
