64311 - Messages not deleted on POP server when deleted locally.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Igor]

1.  From the Mail client select Edit->Mail/News account Settings.
2.  Under Server Settings for a POP mail server, Click on the Boxes for "Leave
Messages on Server"
and "Delete Messages on server when they are deleted locally".
3.  Click OK
4. Go to the Inbox for the POP mail account and delete a message.

Error- The message is deleted locally but not deleted on the server.  Logging
into the POP mail server reveals that the message is still there.  I use Yahoo.
 If for some reason this works with some POP servers then using a Yahoo POP
account will reproduce the POP environment I am using.

Expected Behavior- The message should be deleted from both the local account and
the POP server.

I'm not sure if this is a POP or Account manager problem.  Selecting
Networking-POP as Component

Using RedHat GNU/Linux 7.0, kernel 2.2.16-22, XFree86 4.0

adding keyword and nominating for nsbeta1 so that this bug gets fixed.  This
will be bringing back all the messages that was deleted because messages are not
deleted from the server.

Deleting msgs on POP3 server:
  Right now we only mark the messages as deleted in popstate.dat. If we 
do GetMsg() then only it gets deleted on the server. Should I do GetMsg()
explicitly ?

This patch ensures that all the messages deleted are marked deleted in 
popstate.dat For deleting msgs on server the user should do GetMsg() after
deleting msgs locally.

the server too.

I just verified this bug. Just making sure- does this bug depend on bug 65630?
