I am using XMail and Dovecot on a QNAP TS-509. Everything is working except that when Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not deleting the message from XMail. Is there a setting in XMail that I can use to force it to delete a message when it is retrieved?
Thanks Don Edit: It's not Dovecot retrieving the mail. Not sure what is at this point but still would like to know if there is a setting that will delete mail when it is retreived even if the client doesn't specifically ask for it. |

It is on client to tell the server what to do with message after being retreived. So if you use Dovecot check its configuration.

Thanks. I think I figured it out. I didn't fully understand how Dovecot, XMail, and IMAP worked. I have a better understanding now. XMail is my mail server and I use Outlook for reading/sending my mail. Dovecot uses XMail to store the mail. As stated on the Dovecot web site - "Dovecot is not involved with reception, delivery, and storage of mail".
