Mail Confusion
Dear list,
I am a little bit confused about mail behaviour. There are two things, I do
not understand.
First of all, the following:
When I was long time online with another computer, reading my mails, and then
switch to another computer back, then I rsync the Mailfolder to the other
computer (so that all mails are on the computer, I used not the long time).
But then, this computer indexes the Mailfolder again (what is ok) and then the
weired thing starts: It downloads all mails again from the mailserver, even I
deleted them on this mailserver! This are also mails, which are some years
old. Where do these mails come from??? By accessing the mailserver via
webinterface, it shows - NO MAILS! Strange thing. Can somebody technical
explain this weired behaviour?
The second thing is: I have local system mails, which are sent to my user
account on my computer. These are read with kmail2, and after I read, I
deleted them. However, when I call mutt, these mails are still there. How must
I configure kmail2, so that the mails are deleted in mutt, too, when I delte
them in kmail2? There are four settings in the configuration: none, mutt-
dotlock, procmail-lock and mutt-lock-with-rights (hopefully correct
translated, my kmail2 is in German).
Thanks for any enlightening!
Best regards
Hans
