Outlook not removing deleted messages from server
I have a gmail account and Outlook 2007 is configured to leave the messages
on the POP3 server, but to remove the messages from the server when deleted from the "deleted items" folder. So, I downloaded all of my email (approx 17,000 messages), deleted some messages I don't want any more and emptied the "deleted items" folder, but the messages are not removed from the server. I've tried it several times in several different ways, always with the same result. I can delete the local copy on my PC, but the server copy is never removed. |

Google doesn't follow POP rules in a standard fashion. This may be one of the rules they ignore. Check the POP settings page on Google to see if there is a way to make adjustment. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
