Erasing deleted messages with IMAP

My work email account is setup as an IMAP account and is set to just mark deleted messages (and hide them from view, not move to trash). So I've got a smart mailbox setup to collect messages older than a certain date so i can erase really old messages.
So my question is this: If i right click on the smart mailbox and click "erase deleted messages" will it erase only the messages in this smart mailbox or will it erase all deleted messages in my whole email account?

awesome.

Can't Erase deleted Messages with apple-K keyboard command anymore...?

Last few weeks I've noticed that the keyboard command Apple -K will no longer erase deleted message....has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there a workaround? Thanks in advance...
Dual 2.0 Ghz G5, 1 GB RAM, 10.4.3
Power Mac G5 Dual 2 GB (first gen) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Same experience here. Addidionally, while I had more than one account configured, for a while, %K would pop up a new dialog box, asking for confirmation. That was unwanted new behaviour too, I think. The dialog box went away when I removed the inactive account, though.
It's not just deleted messages that don't go away: it's the remaining copy of messages moved into other mail folders, too. This leaves "deleted" copies of messages littered throughout my (extensive) imap folder hierarchy. Aargh!
The only work-around that I've found is to use another mail client program to clean up the mail boxes.

Can I set Mail.app to default "Permanently erase deleted messages when" to Never, for all new accounts?

When setting up new accounts in Mail.app, I generally remember to set the "Permanently erase deleted messages when:" setting to "Never", in contrast to its harsh default 1-month setting.
When I first switched to a Mac years ago (probably around the time of Leopard, or one before), I didn't know of this setting, as it's somewhat buried and not part of the add new account "walkthrough", and I permanently lost serious business mail on a self-hosted mail server, due to this, in my opinion, really stupid default setting.
At any rate, as I said, I usually remember to change this, but I recently synched accounts via iCloud to a new machine (a work machine), and for whatever reason, the setting didn't take on one account (just one account; despite being set to "never" on the primary mac from which things sync). Same problem all over again.
So, Is there a way I can simply change the default, in the system, so that whenever a new account is created, Mail.app sets the default "erase messages when" time to "Never"?
I need to duplicate Gmail (archiving) functionality and thus far this is the best way I have of going about it; leaving those messages in trash on my regular old everyday IMAP servers.
I did run into this solution – http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22283, though it was for Mail.app in OSX 10.2 (so things have changed now), but I'm willing to bet there is a similar command, more up to date, that might do something similar? I'd like to run such a command on all of my machines so that ALL new mail accounts created are set to NEVER permanently auto-empty the trash–that should be done when I chose, and when I chose only.

Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar then select your mail account, click on the Mailbox Behaviours tab on the right. Set the dropdown menu at the bottom for the Never option.
However, you cannot change the default options set for a newly created account.

Erase Deleted Messages - what's the diff btw the options given?

There is a menu selection called Erase Deleted Messages. It gives three options: In All Accounts, On My Mac, and (me)@(mydomain).com - what's the difference between these three? I can't find the distinctions described anywhere.

The Mailbox > Erase Deleted Messages commands permanently delete messages already in the Trash. The Trash isn't really a mailbox itself, rather it's a set of mailboxes grouped together: there is a Trash mailbox for each account, plus a Trash mailbox for messages which were previously stored in mailbox folders outside of any particular account (i.e. On My Mac). If you click the small black triangle to the left of the big Trash icon, you'll be able to see and select all these individual Trash mailboxes.
The different Mailbox > Erase Deleted Messages commands let you choose whether you want to permanently delete messages from all Trash mailboxes or just from one of them.

Emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have elected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening?

emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have selected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening? any ideas?

iCloud emails in the Trash are deleted after 30 days on the website, and this over-rides the 'never' setting in Mail. There is no way of stopping this. (The Trash isn't really intended as a permanent storage area.)
Try this workaround. Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the sidebar, click on '+' to the right of 'Folders' to create a new folder; give it a suitable name.
Now click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left. At the bottom of the pane which opens, set the 'Move deleted messages to' drop-down menu to your new folder.
I'm not sure whether, when you delete messages in the Mail application, they will go to the Trash or your new folder - you'll need to experiment. I have a nasty feeling that Mail will simply move them to the Trash as before. If this is the case you will have to move them to your new folder manually - dragging messages directly to this folder rather than hitting the delete key will be the easiest way.

Mail.app and purging of moved messages with IMAP accounts?

I REALLY want to like Mail.app but one item that has caused frustration for years is the handling (or lack) of handling of my messages once moved to another folder with IMAP accounts. I would like for Mail.app to purge/expunge the messages from the server automatically when the message is moved but it doesn't seem to complete that transaction until you actually quit out of mail.
I use multiple computers and I don't remember to quit out of Mail.app going from one of my Macs to another and don't want to but I'm getting tired of having to file the messages twice (or more). Is there a way to set Mail.app to do the automatic instant purging (or expunging) of the messages from the originating folders without having to quit out of the application? This seems to be the default behavior for nearly every other mail client I've used, including Entourage and is an option in Outlook and Outlook Express (PC).

same is true with popmail, not just imap.
moreover, i think hitting "remove now" just puts content in your server's trash folder, meaning it's still taking up disk quota and you'll never know till you stop getting mail...

Selectively deleting messages with POP.

Hi All,
So I've yet to figure out how to get IMAP working my Yahoo email because I've got a @pacbell.net domain name... So I'm using POP for now.
On my last "smart" device, the Palm 650, using POP, you could choose to delete messages that you've downloaded 1) on the device 2) on the server or 3) on both. I haven't figured out how to do it on the iPhone.
Am I missing something or is that feature missing?
- Thanx
- Jon

PTBoater, thanks for the note. It looks like the "when removed from inbox" option would do what I want, but it doesn't seem to work for me...
Is there some trick to using this feature? Messages deleted, another POP access initiated from the iPhone, time waited, no server deletion...
In fact, that setting doesn't appear to persist - after setting it, going back in to ensure it's set, waiting 10 mins, the setting goes back to "never"...
- Thanx

Delete messages with "Cancelled Manually" state (MSGSTATE is 21)?

Hello,
I want to delete messages from master table SXMSPMAST which are in "Cancelled Manually" state i.e. the value of field MSGSTATE is 21.
I have tried running reports "RSXMB_ARCHIVE_MESSAGES" and "RSXMB_DELETE_ARCHIVED_MESSAGES" but with no success. the vlaue of the field ITFACTION is ARCH.
Can anyone guide me how do i delete these messages?
thanks,
Yash

Hi Yash,
in productive sysems the messages with status 21 can not be deleted by the regular deletion report, it has to be archived first and then will be deleted by the archive job itself. so you have to configure archiving.
for non productive systems you can set the parameter ARCHIVE->PERSIST_ARCH_MANUAL_CHANGES to delete the manually changed messages, afterwards it will be deleted by the regular deletion job.
please check the SAP note 872388.
manually cancelled or manually changed messages (status 019 and 021) have to be archived. Therefore you always have to configure archiving to handle manually edited messages. Should you decide (for non-productive systems only) that you would like to delete these manually cancelled messages, please refer to Note 820149
Thanks,
Francis

Delete message with message id x from broker through API

hi *,
is there another way of deleting a message than consuming it via specific message selector like ID = x?
i thought there should be another management API functionality to delete messages from a broker? am i wrong?
regards chris

hi isahashim,
sorry i did not read this thread to the end before posting this...
we are using JMQ just by using JCAPS
ONE BIG QUESTION....
with this "unsupported" API will there be the possibility to connect to JMQ brokers that are not embedded in CAPS environments ?
we are using them in CAPS V6 because clustering works better when broker is in REMOTE mode (has his own JVM) and EMBEDDED mode has several issues afaik.

Very slow retrieval of messages with IMAP

I have a problem with javamail versions greater than 1.4.4:
I use IMAP and STARTTLS to connect to Exchange Server 2010
The mail I try to read in this example has RFC822.SIZE = 2317220 but the problem occurs with all mails.
This is the code where it happens ( line 3 )
msg = (MimeMessage)currentFolder.getMessage(1);
log.debug(mailBoxID +" start reading mail");
fullMessage = new MimeMessage(msg);
log.debug(mailBoxID +"   end reading mail");
With 1.4.5 and higher it takes approx. 8 minutes ( in debug mode ) to get the full mail.
With 1.4.4 it takes only 4 seconds ( also in debug mode ).
I tried 3 scenario's with 1.5.1: ( but I have the same problem with 1.4.5 and 1.4.6 )
mail.imap.fetchsize: 16384 ==> 8 minutes
mail.imap.fetchsize: 102400 ==> 7 minutes
mail.imap.partialfetch: false ==> 9 minutes
I tried 2 scenario's with 1.4.4:
mail.imap.fetchsize: 16384 ==> 4 seconds
mail.imap.partialfetch: false ==> 4 seconds
I suppose fetchsize and partialfetch are not part of the problem.
There must be some configuration issue but I don't find it.
And I have the same problem with the demo programs.
Here are some snippets from the protocol debug and the program debug for all scenario's:

The MimeMessage constructor you're using needs to copy the entire message from the server. It uses the Message.writeTo method, writing the message content into a pipe that is read by the constructor. It was a bug in previous releases that the writeTo method wasn't fetching the data in chunks, as it does in other cases. Setting partialfetch=false will revert to the old behavior for writeTo, and for all other accesses of the message content.
It looks like both 1.4.4 and 1.5.1 are fetching the message content using a single FETCH command when you set partialfetch=false, according to your message. If they're both sending the same commands to the server, I can't explain why it would be fast in one case and slow in the other.
I did similar testing using my Exchange 2010 server. Fetching a similar size message took less than 20 seconds. Setting partialfetch=false brought it down to less than 5 seconds. Something's clearly wrong in your environment, but I don't know what.
Finally, I'm sure you understand that you only need to use that MimeMessage copy constructor in special circumstances, and you should probably avoid using it unless it's absolutely necessary. Even in the best case it's wasting time and memory.

Mac Mail downloads all my old messages with IMAP

Hi,
How do I stop this happening? I just want to download messages from now onwards. But I'm getting thousands of old emails downloading to my inbox and no way to stop it seemingly.
I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8, using Mail 4.6. I have an @hotmail.com email account.
Second option would be to somehow delete these messages once they've all downloaded, but without deleting them from the hotmail server... any ideas??
Many thanks.

Though the original question is old, people are still viewing it when they need help with the problem.
I found this possible solution:
Apple Mail - Removing Messages from the Server
To have your Apple Mail remove messages from the server when you check mail (using POP), you will follow these steps:
After opening the Apple Mail program, click on "Mail" from the menu at the top.
Click on "Preferences"
Click on "Accounts" (the @ symbol)
If you have more than one mail account, select the one you want to work with
Click "Advanced"
Make sure the box next to "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" is checked.
You can also remove messages currently saved on the server by clicking the "Remove now" button.
Click "Save" when you close the Preference pane
Using "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message" will make sure your messages are always downloaded to your Mac, and prevent your mailbox quota from being exceeded.

How to delete messages from IMAP server but keep on computer???

Hi
I am using Mail to receive my email messages from the University's IMAP server. My problem is that I need to keep copies of my sent and received emails for archives on my computer but not on the server because space is limited. However, when I check the 'remove messages from server' box in the preferences, it also removes them all from my Mail inbox and sent mail folders. Consequently, I'm constantly needing to go to the server (once a week) and manually delete the messages when my folder is too full and then I lose all of my messages.
Can someone please tell me how I can keep all of my sent, received and trashed emails on my computer without them being stored on the server?
thanks
adam

Eric is right. An IMAP account is designed specifically to keep email on line, on a server somewhere on the planet. That way you can use any machine anywhere and see your email. A POP account is designed to actually download your email to the specific machine that you are using and remove it from the server. Although there are ways around that...
So if you want to keep an email on your computer and you want to delete it from the server, you have to make an "On my Mac" mailbox.

Mac mail not syncing deleted messages with iPad email?

I'm very frustrated with the mail sync between my MacBook and my iPad. My Microsoft Exchange (@student.uml.edu) email for school will NOT sync between my Mac and my iPad.
When I delete mail from from Mac mail, it does not delete on my iPad. This has led me to have 3 read emails in my inbox on my MacBook and 45 emails on my iPad. I can't imagine having to keep track of deleting emails from my laptop then again on my iPad thats just silly.
Am I doing something wrong here? Help!

I have the same problem in the opposite direction - I can delete things on my iPad but they don't delete on my MacBook and Mail won't let me delete them. My problem is also with an educational Exchange account. Other accounts sync without problems.
