100059 - leave mail on server for a few days

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 107883

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Jilles van Gurp]

A feature I appreciate in Outlook is the ability to automatically remove mail
from a pop server after X days. I use this feature to have the same mails at
home and at my work. My home account is set to leave mail on the server and my
work account removes mails after five days. This way both mailboxes can be kept
in sync. Since I often work from home it is very convenient to be able to have
access to all my mails.

Adding the feature should be near trivial so please do so.

It's a good idea, but moving to the future milestone.

[Lars Linek]

would someone agree that this is a dup of bug 11055 ?
don't want to mark as dup because bug 11055 is assigned to [e-mail] and
has the keyword 'helpwanted' at present.

Yes.. it's a dup. Marking as such.

verified dup.

This bug should be duped against Bug 107883 - Feature request: Remove from server
after x days (POP).  Bug 11055 involves removing from CLIENT's LOCAL mailboxes.

Reopening and reduping.
