[X-Newbies] Apple Mail Server Question

[Thomas McDermott]

Like I mentioned, though, I don't think its an ISP issue since when I used
thunderbird or Eudora with the same setup it would delete the messages on
the next mail check.

OK, that clarifies part of the equation

makes sense

Which, I suspect just might be an ISP thing. I know of some folks who  
have deleted mail using their email application and then gone in hours  
later through webmail and found the same email. Some ISP's seem to  
have a skewed understanding of 'immediate deletion'
