Kmail not deleting messages from imap server

[Rob Hughes]

I connect to an exchange box with kmail. Previously, emptying the trash would delete the message via the imap connection to exchange. Now, emptying the trash merely removes the message from the local cache. Connecting via outlook or the web client, the messages are still present.

Er.... kmail package 3.5.1-0ubuntu0breezy1

[Rob Hughes (rob-robhughes)]

Update: I used another MUA to remove about 800 emails (yeah yeah) from my inbox, and kmail now correctly deletes mail from the imap server.

User reported fixed

[Rob Hughes (rob-robhughes)]

No, I didn't report this as fixed. I reported a work around. However, the even the work around no longer works, as with less than 50 messages in my inbox, messages are not deleted from the IMAP server when I hit delete.

Hi Rob,

do you still have this problem on edgy and KMail 1.9.5?

Regards,

[Rob Hughes (rob-robhughes)]

Yes, along with kmail causing emails to appear duplicated in my inbox.

i cant seem to confirm this - feisty, kde 3.5.5

perhaps it's because i use thunderbird as well...

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

I am unable to confirm this as well with Feisty up to date. Is this still an issue? (Double checked with Mailody as well)

[Rob Hughes (rob-robhughes)]

No, emptying trash seems to remove the messages from the server again. Running feisty/3.5.6 here.

[Lothar Braun (typecast)]

Ok, i'll mark it as fixed then.

The same problem reported in the first comment happens to me under gutsy gibson kubuntu amd64
the bug report:

[Alvin (alvind)]

Could there be a regression in kmail 1.11.1? I can't empty the trash on my IMAP accounts. (3 different providers)

[Alvin (alvind)]

Fixed again in 1.11.2
