| + | ===== Why doesn't POPFile remove messages from the server? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | POPFile doesn't delete messages by itself, that is the job of your [[Glossary:EmailClient | email client]]. POPFile is only a [[Glossary:AProxy | proxy]] that receives commands from your email client and passes them on to the mail server. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Verify that your mail client is correctly set up: is it set to delete messages on the server after retrieval? Is it set to download all or just unread mail? You could also check POPFile's logfile and see what happens when your client issues the delete command. Was it sent at all? Was there an error message from the server? Anything strange in there? | ||
