[Dovecot] id:N13388 Disable storage of messages on server when read (pop3)
Hi there
Is there any way in dovecot to disable the storage of messages on server when they are read/downloaded by the users (POP3). The server keeps the e-mail when users tick the option on their MUA to keep (leave) messages on server.
dovecot 1.0.7 POP3 / maildir
Thanks in advance

I remember some discussion some time ago about to or not to update IMAP flags when reading via POP.
If your Dovecot POP server updates the "READ" flag, you could delete those "READ" messages via cron job.

If I just clear the cur directory (maildir) via cron , is it ok?
