If you're not doing local sync with TB and you have GLODA disabled, TB is going to show you exactly what's in your Dovecot mailbox. If the message doesn't disappear from your TB view sometime after deleting it on your smartphone, then I'd say it's very likely that Dovecot didn't receive the delete and/or expunge command from the phone. Check your Dovecot logs and see what the phone is actually sending, or not sending. Both of you mentioned problems specifically WRT smartphones. It's likely the IMAP implementation in these phones is simply buggy, or your network coverage is spotty. I don't use a smartphone so I can't really say. What smartphone are you each using? -- Stan
