User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.19 (20081209) I selected 'Delete messages more than 60 days old' in 'Offline & Disk Space' section in 'Account Settings' window and all the emails older than that were deleted from the server as well. Although it reads out that this goes only to offline messages and the purpose is to save computers disk space not the servers. Or at least there should be a warning or something that warns if you are using IMAP, the messages will be deleted from the server as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above... Actual Results: The messages are deleted from the server Expected Results: Messages from the computer disk should have been deleted and not from the server
The entry should be either removed from the offline section for IMAP servers or it should only delete the local copy of the messages.
