To remove all messages from the IMAP server marked for deletion, from the Message menu choose Remove Deleted Messages. The messages are completely removed both from the IMAP server and from your computer.

Resynchronizing an IMAP Mailbox or Folder

Keeping your mailboxes and folders remotely on an IMAP server lets you perform opera- tions on them from different computers. For a particular IMAP mailbox, you may delete some messages from the mailbox from one computer, check mail from another computer, resulting in new messages being transferred to the mailbox, and change the status of some of the messages from a third computer.

Each computer has no idea what has been done to the mailbox from the other computer until you resynchronize the mailbox, which updates all operations performed on the mailbox from all computers that have access to the mailbox. In some situations, others may have access to these same mailboxes.

To resynchronize an IMAP mailbox or folder, do the following.

1From the Tools menu, choose Mailboxes, or click the Mailboxes window’s tab if it is the inactive window in a tabbed group. The Mailboxes window appears.

2Right-click on the mailbox or folder to display the drop-down list.

3From the drop-down list, choose Resynchronize Mailbox. The content of the mailbox or folder is completely updated according to all operations that have been performed on the mailbox from all computers that have access to it.

Note. Every time you open an IMAP mailbox, you cause it to resynchronize automatically.

General mailbox and folder management for POP and IMAP servers is performed from the Mailboxes window. For more information, see “Using the Mailboxes Window” on
