I run a Dovecot 1.2.16 pop3 server and have just started using the Thunderbird 5 email client.
Thunderbird is set to leave the messages on the server unless they are over 91 days old. However, I'm not seeing it delete any of the older messages.
I'll run a debug run of Thunderbird when I get back home, but I'm just wondering if there's any gotcha's I should be aware of with Thunderbird and Dovecot in a pop3 environment. The Thunderbird folks are wondering if it's the server not the client.
if thunderbird follows the same principles of every other pop3 client out there maybe it would delete them, pop3d only does what it is asked to do, it can not be the server if just one single other client that follows relevant RFC's works
Many people have always had gripes with thunderbird not doing this or that, there's always something, tell your clients to use a compliant client, or webmail.
