IMAP pull-and-delete operation

[<syn...@da...>]

Hi all,
For data protection reasons, I do not want to leave my emails on the
mail server for all eternity.

Normally this would be easily accomplished by using POP3 as the sync
protocol, and instructing my email client to delete the mails after
downloading.

Unfortunately, many email providers have stopped supporting POP3!

Therefore I need to find a way to achieve POP3-like pull-and-delete
functionality on a server that only supports IMAP.

Lookin at the mbsync man page, it seems like I may be able to do this
using some combination of Sync options. But I am not quite sure which
ones to use.

How do I do this?

Thanks!
