[Hilfe!] Mail client problem

Post by **ayu** » 23 Mar 2008, 07:17

Ok so i have to following problem....

I am using Evolution Mail as my mail client, i have set it to get the mail from the server and then also let the mail be on the server (backup purposes)

The problem is that when i delete a mail in the client, the mail still resides on the server =/

Is there anyway to get a "live" kind of client? as in that it lets the mail stay on the server, and when i delete a mail from the client it ACTUALLY gets deleted...not just on my comp, but on the server as well..... because i have to login through the web now and delete the mail manually =/

wait until enough mail harvester bots crossed your website...have fun with processing 100 spam mails/day with telnet!

and yep, Thunderbird kicks ass....make sure to use the sweet RSS reader too, real comfy...

yeah, I've read a nice article about Mutt already in my favorite Linux mag, I just need some spare time to get into it....half a dozen email addresses, 2 dozen RSS feeds and setting up PKI is definitely not a job that can be done quickly if you haven't worked with Mutt yet.

but well, I am simply used to Thunderbird and I am really satisfied with it (especially since I use the Spamato plugin)...so I don't plan to switch completely anyway, but I'll definitely check it out..
