[MI] <br /><br /> I am not super techy, so please help me to understand what's going on here! I have only one account on Mail. I use it to get my IMAP mail from my school account. I haven't switched anything recently, but now when I delete messages, they just disappear instead of being put in the "Trash" folder. Also, the "Sent" folder appears empty and I have a new folder called Sent Messages, which is where all of my sent mail seems to have been placed. New 'sent messages' are not being placed there, however. <br> <br> Under the Preferences folder / Special Mailboxes, the boxes saying "Move deleted messages..." and "Store deleted messages..." are still checked. The pulldown menu "Permanently erase deleted messages..." is still set to Never. I have tried: toggling the buttons, quitting Mail, restarting. <br> <br> What's going on here? post:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.11012 Sat, 16 Oct 2004 22:58:56 -0800 fionab mail OSX IMAP http://ask.metafilter.com/11012/Problems-with-Mail-on-OS-1035#196345 I am a moron. mathowie, you can delete this thread. I had to *uncheck* the boxes to store those messages on the server. I could have sworn they used to be saved (as a backup), but I guess not. Whatever - it's working now! Sorry everyone. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.11012-196345 Sat, 16 Oct 2004 23:42:22 -0800 fionab
