            Bug ID: 375687
           Summary: Kmail Not Deleting Email From Server
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.4.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: ian at pairowoodies.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I discovered the issue after an update around Christmas time or shortly
thereafter - I believe Kmail and other software was updated at that time.

Kmail and anokondi would not work - some errors about not being able to connect
to the socket file. In the OpenSuse forum, I was advised to delete the socket
file and try again.

That worked. At least it got Kmail running (not very well mind you and a major
issue has been posted in another thread).

However, what I discovered was that Kmail was not deleting emails from the
server. When I got kmail working, it was re-downloading thousands of email
messages dating back to July of 2016.

In the settings I have:

Leave fetched messages on the server
Days to leave messages on the server: 7 Days

The latest version of kmail also is not deleting messages after 7 days so it
appears to be a multi-version issue.

I am using POP, SSL/TLS, Port 995 and Plain login.
