Re: How to delete mail off the POP server after retrieval?
Yes David, that is what I'm saying. I was afraid that the
all-or-nothing approach is what KMail is following and a quick trip
to bugs.kde.org showed me that someone has filed a wishlist item for
it.
If not having "pseudo-IMAP" (nice neologism) is bothering anyone
else, I suggest you go to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49989
and vote for it to be fixed.
It's a little bit embarrassing that KMail doesn't have this feature.
But the bug was filed on 31 Oct. of last year so perhaps it's not in
high demand? AAR, even old Netscape 2.x had this feature way back in
1995, to say nothing of the other major clients.
Obviously it's no showstopper but still.... :)
