219849 - Mail left on server even though I have the checkbox unchecked...

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Martin Milan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.2 - 20030901

I use Thunderbird (Well impressed, by the way) to collect my email from a POP
Server. Even though I have the relevent account set not to leave messages on
server, I find that it does.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Thunderbird.
2.Download Mail.
3.Close Thunderbird.
4.Open Microsoft Outlook.
5.Download Mail.

Actual Results:  
Microsoft Outlook downloads the exact same messages I have downloaded with
Thunderbird, indicating that the messages have been left on the server. 

Expected Results:  
I would have expected Thunderbird to download the mail, and then remove it from
the POP server.

Bit more possibly relevent information...

In addition to the account discussed above, I also have an account for my work
email, which *IS* set to leave mail on the server...

I think this bug report no longer applies, based on its age.  Also, in the most
recent builds, one must /check/ the box to leave mail on server, and /uncheck/
it to remove mail from server.  Thus, user's report that mail is left on server
when box unchecked would not be a bug, but simply what should happen.  Simply a
misunderstanding.

So let's close this unless we hear from the reporter again.
