I tested it and it works. For data protection reasons, it would be very
useful if it was possible to set
	MaxMessage 0
and have this result in zero messages being left on the server.

Currently setting the value to 0 disables MaxMessages. Therefore one
email is always left on the server, even though this email may contain
sensitive or personal information.
