Re: [ebxmlms-develop] Commented lines that delete unexpected message from email box

[Patrick Y. <kc...@ce...>]

Dear Ladislav,

There may be chances that the mailbox is not dedicated to the usage by 
Hermes. In that case, it is not desirable to have Hermes to delete all 
the unexpected messages. How about to make it an option so that the 
users can choose in the configuration file? Please comment.
