Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
Evolution doesn't delete an email from the POP3 email server (with SSL encryption) after a specified number of days and the mailbox quota on the server gets full.
Steps to reproduce
- Configure a POP3 email account with
- Server type: POP
- SSL encryption
- Auth type as "password"
- Under Edit->Preferenc
- Keep "Leave messages on the server" as ON
- Keep "Delete after X days" as ON and put say "5" days in place of X
- Keep "Disable support for all POP3 extensions" as OFF
- Make sure that the server name and account details provided in the above setup contains more than five days old emails and the server also has a web-interface (or IMAP interface) to cross-check the presence of emails on the server
- Do a send-receive of emails from the account
- Make sure the old emails are fetched in your local Inbox
- After send-receive, log on to the web interface or connect through an IMAP interface to check whether the emails older than 5 days are deleted from the server
Expected result
- The old emails should be deleted from the server
Actual result
- The old emails are not deleted and remain on the server.
