Description Matthew Saltzman 2011-06-20 16:57:40 UTC

Description of problem:
Most POP clients have an option to delete mail from the server when it is deleted from the local mailbox.  Evolution doesn't, which makes it practically impossible to manage a POP account from multiple client devices.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-3.0.2-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a POP account
2. Look for option to remove deleted messages on the server
3.
  
Actual results:
No such option available

Expected results:
Option available

Additional info:
Unfortunately, AT&T Yahoo! mail still uses POP 8^(.  I suspect many other ISPs do as well.

Thanks for a bug report. Does the "Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts-><POP account>->Edit, Receiving options tab->Delete expunged from local Inbox", work for you? Only note that the messages aren't deleted from the server when you just delete them (when you mark them for deletion), but only when you expunge the local (On This Computer) Inbox.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:05:14 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
