I could be wrong, not entirely accurate, but I don't think you can tell your mail server to auto-purge. I believe that's a function of the mail client. Some email clients may do certain things when you tell it to delete an email...such as move it to a deleted folder, put a strike-through, etc. The purge function would then REALLY delete. I've also noticed the delete functionality is a little buggy.

Same thing for me, here.

I'm using Courier 4. I can attempt to delete the message in Roundcube, it disappears, but the unread count does not change. If I hope then trash in Squirrelmail, all messages are there and I can purge them. A real pain.

Anyone up for writing an "Empty Trash" patch? :-)

When I deleted the unread messages under Trash, the folder still showing "Trash (n)" (where n is the unread messages number) although it is empty.

I checked it under Horde and I could see, under Trash, deleted messages are strike out. In Horde, I can then purged such messages using the link "purge deleted". But in RoundCube, I can't.

How do I configure my server (I am using cPanel + RedHat Linux 9) so that deleted messages are really removed (and no purging needed)?

I just pulled down CVS and gave it a whirl, but no go... I purged all 66 unread items from the trash and the count is still...66.

I refresh the folder, and the count stays the same. I log out and back in... no change. I can see the message is still there in the Maildir. I log into Squirrelmail... no change. I open the Trash folder in Squirrelmail, it reads empty, and suddenly the item is gone from the Maildir. Odd, eh?

Hello,

We had some issues with updating the unread count of the trash folder because a parameter as not sent to the server. This should now be solved in the current CVS version but I'm not sure if it's the same problem you described here.

After deleting a message (which just marks it as deleted), RoundCube sends the "expunge" command to the server to finally delete it.

Please get the latest CVS version and report if the problem still exists.

Regards, Thomas
