IIRC gmail       ignores basic protocol rules and doesn't delete message you delete via       POP3 or IMAP. Yes, that is indeed shit, but that's Google. I operate my       own mail server - for a good reason.              --       kind regards       Marco              Send spam to 1746749465muell@stinkedores.dorfdsl.de              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
