Hello,

I have an IMAP Email Account. The Emails arrived correctly at my Jolla Phone. But if I delete an email with thunderbird on my laptop, the email is still visible at my jolla, even after reload. Are the mails saved locally on my jolla?

Thanks Pascal

Are you sure that Thunderbird deletes them from the server? Have you connected via the webmail to check?

yeah i'm sure. I've checked webmail and on my android phone.

I have exactly this problem as well. However, there is a report about it already: https://together.jolla.com/question/12079/deleted-emails-stick-around-until-expunged-imap/.

You might want to try to do a "compact" on the folder in Thunderbird (right click the folder). Although I think I have seen this issue myself from time to time..

Thanks luen and sunkan. According to your Infos I found out, that i must check "Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit" in Thunderbird. (source: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_Tips_:_Compacting_Folders#IMAP) So the Bug in Jolla is, that it shows messages, even if they are marked as deleted.

This doesn't work for me. If I delete an email via webmail (Squirrelmail) or locally with Evolution and expunge/delete the deleted mails, the Jolla mail-client still shows them.
