This setting is enabled in my Slypheed and mails don't disappear. Even if I switch this off and try to manually execute the expunge operation, the mails still remain. > You could check if the filename of a deleted email has changed in your > maildir.

Perhaps some file permission issue on my server...? Regards, -- Selmeci Tamás http://www.486.hu/
