#7 delete messages after gone on server ?

[Anonymous]

Messages stay in Weblook even when they are deleted
from the server by another mailclient ?
I use weblook to see my mail when i'm at work, and
would like to see only the new messages and not the
ones i already fetched (and maybe deleted) with my
outlook at home...

btw, great look and feel !

There seems to be a misunderstanding of how messages are
deleted from the POP server.

Simply put, messages stay on the POP server until they are
deleted by a client request (or in some cases by server
policy after a set period of time).

Most clients have an option in the "retrieve mail from
server" settings to "leave messages on server". If this
option is enabled, the messages are available to any client
that connects at a later time. To remove messages from the
server, make certain that this option is NOT enabled.

In addition, some mail clients have the option of deleting
messages from the POP server when they are deleted local
(and removed from the "trash bin").

Either disabling the "leave messages on server" or enabling
the "delete from server when deleted locally" options
resolves this request.

Outside of those two options, popper has no way of knowing
that other clients have already retrieved a message.

We need to make this more clear in the project documentation.
