Hi Craig, Are you sure it's delete trash from the account after one month or delete mail from your server after one month as these are 2 different things.it's been so long since I used POP as a mail setup but I'm sure your trash is local to your mail client not your mail account / provider.
The idea behind pop is to allow you to download or pop your mail to your local mail client and not keep the mail on the server of your provider unless there is a reason you need to for record keeping or archiving. I'd suggest if you don't require the mail in the trash folder of your mail client, then clear it out and see what happens over a week from now. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Craig Werner Sent: Tuesday, 28 May 2019 12:26 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Question about Deleting Trash from a POP3 Mail Folder Hello, everyone, and Happy Memorial Day to U.S. readers. I use Apple Mail on a MacBook Air running Mojave 10.14.4. Under "Mail Settings -> Accounts -> Mailbox Behaviors," I have set mail to be deleted from the trash folder after one month. I recently went to the bottom of my Trash index, something I rarely do, and found messages much older than a month. Some even went back to 2018. An Apple Accessibility rep told me this is a behavior controlled by my mail provider, but I don't think so. In a POP account, shouldn't this mailbox setting be honored on the Mac without server intervention? Thanks for all help.
