Using outlook 2010 as mail client, I have noticed that once an email is moved from inbox, it is deleted from the cur/ directory on the server. Is there a pop3 setting on dovecot that would keep emails, See in conf.d/20-pop3.conf

with possible retention period, no and recognize that this email has been moved from inbox, etc.. If all of this is doable, would setting outlook to delete the email after 14 days work? delete email from the server when emptying deleted folder? No. If you are not really deleting, you're not really deleting.
Maybe you can set up your own cron job to do a doveadm expunge on messages flagged with your pop3_deleted_flag, but I'm not sure about telling when that flag was set on a message.
Thanks in advance
