What client are you using? Can you enable log spew and see how it's trying to delete it?

I believe the IMAP server requires the client to set the deleted flag, so if it's trying to delete it another way, it's not going to work

So I think I got to the bottom of this one:

(Somehow), MAC mail was putting deleted items into a "blank" folder - "Bin Mailbox" was had selected a blank mailbox. And I guess when I was deleting the mail, MAC mail client was moving the mail to (somewhere?), not sure what it was telling SBBS, couldnt really find any specific activity in the log amongst all the noise.

Anyway, when I chose "Bin Mailbox" = "None" then MAC mail sends:

srvc 0062 IMAPS RECV: 90.5 UID STORE 7621 +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted)

To sync, and its correctly flagged as deleted :smile:

So PBCAK...
