Outlook Express fails to delete messages

Post #1 of 5 (542 views)

I have a user with Outlook Express 6 who is having a weird problem.
Until last week he was using CommuniGate with no trouble. I switched
him to Exim and now, when he marks messages for deletion they show up
again as new messages after a few minutes.

This problem does not happen if he uses Mozilla. Also, closing OE
causes the messages to stay away.

Any clue what might cause a problem like this? This is a weird
problem.

Thanks,
Mark Lehrer

Mark pop or IMAP, and I realy do not think it has anything to do with the smtp server.

That would be a POP or IMAP problem. Exim has nothing to do with that.

ive seen older versions of courier imap do that with outlook express. if
you are using courier imap then an upgrade might fix the problem.
