Hello,

after now struggeling some days with this problem I want to share my findings with the community:

When I want to set up a POP3-account on my Jolla, i'm not asked (and I can't select any option afterwards in the settigs) if I want to delete or leave the messages on the server or not. So in practice I found out that the preinstalled option of my Jolla is to leave the messages on the server, which is good for me.

Just recently I realized the following strange behavior of the Jolla's native mail client: when deleting a mail, it is moved from the "Inbox"-folder to the "deleted messages"-folder, which is not the strange part of it. Now, when I want to delete the mail finally from the device (i.e. delete it from the "deleted messages"-folder), my Jolla requires an internet connection for that action. Why, when I'm talking about a POP3-account, that means I retrieved all the mails as a copy to my phone, now stored locally on my device? The answer is, because my Jolla deletes the mails from the server (!) when deleting them from the "deleted messages"-folder, which is in my opinion not according to the normal rules of an POP3-account (is it?).

So my suggested behavior of the mail client is as follows:

• first let the user choose whether he/she wants tho mails on the server to be deleted or not after retrieval
• second: once after successfully retrieval the mail-client should treat the mails on the phone strictly as local copies, it should not store local copies on the device for reading, answering and even deleting (i.e. moving to the "deleted messages"-folder), but then affect the remained copies on the server when removing it completely from the phone!

Thynk Thank you

P.S.: I found some posts concerning the same issue, but from other point of view, so I wrote my personal problems here "again", hoping it is not declared as a duplicate: https://together.jolla.com/question/42422/pop3-delete-emails-from-server/ and https://together.jolla.com/question/16156/need-a-delete-permanently-function-as-my-pop3-email-is-still-storing-all-the-deleted-emails/.

[original post: Hi, i just now wanted to delete mails from the "deleted elements" folder, the 5 sec. bar appeared, and just after the 5 secs my Jolla tried to connect to the internet. After i ignored that message, the mail was still in the folder. Since i'm using an pop3 account i'm wondering why my phone needs an internet connection to delete mails? is this a bug or am i misunderstanding something? thanx for replies EDIT: after having tagged this as a bug, i want to add tho following information: i'm running version 1.0.8.21 and i'm talking about the native sailfish mail client.]
