Email Problem

[kscearce]

I have my email set up to forward directly to my Outlook email...it's been doing that well. But in the past week, it's been saving all the emails its forwarding and not deleting them when they forward.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it that I'm just starting to get more email at this particular address.

 

I was under the impression that my email would delete from the inbox and move to trash.

 

I've looked through the tutorial info and scanned this topic for someone with a similar problem without success, hence my post.

 

I've thought of setting up a filter in Horde, but I don't understand filters that well in that webmail.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

If you are forwarding an address of an account that exists it will still deliver the mail received to that account as well as forward to what ever account you designated.

 

If you don't want a copy saved locally then you should not have an account set up and only a forward.

 

Hope that makes sense.

Bruce,

 

I'm not sure I follow...my main account is my WebsiteLoginName@WebsiteName.com correct?

 

In my case that would be elysseq@monicaburns.com

 

So if I have an email account created called monicaburns@monicaburns.com I should not have theat forwarded to my Outlook because it automatically throws it out to Outlook?

 

Is that what you mean?

Ok, I went to check and it makes a little more sense now, but here's the real problem, I think??

 

Originally I set up my account as elyssequicksilver.com....I've since changed my writing pen name, and I am no longer using elyssequicksilver for anything, and that domain name will be defunct in April.

 

However, the main email account in Horde is still showing elyssequicksilver/romancewriter/inbox.

 

Can I delete the inbox itself without causing MAJOR problems? I tried deleting the monicaburns/inbox, but the minute I test it, it recreates the folder automatically.

 

My main problem is that the emails are not being deleted from the monicaburns/inbox.

With Outlook I am assuming you are using the POP feature right? And not IMAP?

 

Using POP do you have Outlook set to remove email as it retrieves it? If you are using IMAP I don't think this is an option since the mail is never brought down to your machine.

[kscearce]

Yep using POP not IMAP...which is why I'm so confused. Do you have a generic filter you could suggest that would transfer all email into the main email? That would solve the problem I think.

 

Or perhaps there's another filter I could create to delete an email after it's been forwarded from the monicaburns inbox.

 

Should I put in a ticket so that the main inbox becomes the elysseq/monicaburns/inbox...I'm positive that would solve the problem.

Oh Jimminie.... I just realized your question was worded so that you were thinking my email comes directly from the TCH server to my outlook, but it doesn't...It's set to go to my ISP email account and then into my outlook.

 

 

I set it up that way because when I tried to configure Outlook with the TCH server, I wound up screwing up my ISP email accounts.

 

Let me see if I can create a filter that might be the best thing to do.

WEll the quote under my name is quite appropo, don't ya think!

 

I went into Outlook and setup a new account so that it retrieves messages from the server. I couldn't find any place that allowed me to delete messages as they're pulled from the server, but there was a box I selected that let the messages be deleted every X days. I selected 1...hopefully that won't delete my messages before Outlook pulls them off...

 

Oi vey!
