Hi,

I have a problem losing e-mails, as I posted yesterday. As near as I
can tell, it shouldn't happen. But it does.

So, I would like to at least delay expunging the mail on the server. If
I understand correctly, it should simply have been a matter of setting
IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to "1" in /etc/courier/imapd, and restarting
the daemons. That way, when fetchmail connects and collects and
expunges email, a copy should be written to the Trash folder, and that

feftchmail collects and expunges email?

copy will be expunged 7 days later.

Only trouble is my Maildir didn't have a "Trash" directory. And
eventhough I made one, it still doesn't get a copy of mail expunged from
~/Maildir/new.

How did you create it?

What about when you delete/expunge from your MUA?

Everything else is an out-of-the-box old stable system.
