My guess is that would confuse clients and they would download the same mails over and over and over again. > Users who forget to set the "Leave copy on server" get all their > messages deleted in the web interface, and mostly they don't want > (expect) this behavior. Isn't it possible to create another way to tag > POP3 messages as deleted without these being deleted in IMAP? I guess it would be possible to create some kind of a virtual POP3 mailbox where expunging a message simply removes it from that virtual mailbox, but not from the primary mailbox that's visible to IMAP. While expunging a message in IMAP would remove it also from POP3 mailbox too. Anyway, I don't have time to implement that anytime soon. Also it would have the problem that if a user doesn't use IMAP at all then his mails would never get deleted.
