Hi Sami,

You are right ! Event if emails are deleted from trash (and so: they do not appears in thunderbird anywere), they are not expunged !

Right clic on trash > empty trash will send expunge signal to server !

Thanks a lot !

Hi,

Does thunderbird even delete the mail from storage if you delete it from UI?

Most imap clients with default configuration just flag the mail \Deleted but do not actually expunge if from server. In Apple Mail.App that I use there is "Erase Deleted Items" to actually expunge mails previously flagged \Deleted.

Hello,

I can't find the information on the wiki :(

When is the quota recalculated after a mail deletion ?

For instance, I am running low of storage and I use Thunderbird to delete large mail. I only notice a recalculation when I quit Thunderbirdb and I relaunch it.

Even, with doveadm CLI, as long as Thunderbird is not disconnected on the client side, the server didn't recalculate the storage available.

Thanks for the help !

Thomas

You have to right click on Trash and select Empty Trash to force it.

In the Trash Folder Properties, you can also select a Retention Policy (eg 30 days, 2000 messages).
