The problem is that I've found that if I uncheck "Leave Mail on Server",
it'll download all the mail from the server and remove it all from the
server. Thus, the only place my mail store will be is on my laptop...
This I've verified from the stream of DELE commands going to the server
(from watching sniffer dumps).
How do I get it to only remove messages on the server when they're
removed locally, yet maintain the message store on the server?

Ian, I'm not sure I understand. You have "leave-mail-on-server" checked, right? That means that you don't want Evolution to delete mail from the server. That is why it's not performing a DELE for the messages. If you want it to DELE the messages, you have to turn off keep-mail-on-server.

I'm having a problem using Evolution with a POP account in that it won't delete any messages. Here's the setup: My machine: Linux Laptop (RH7.2, evolution1.0.3.99-various-snapshots-usually-the-latest-though-this-problem-has-persisted) I don't control the mailserver, and it's running Qpopper 4.0.3, with no APOP support. Thus, I port-forward over an ssh connection: ssh -2 -L 4510:mailhost:25 -L 4500:mailhost:110 me mailhost So I point Evolution at that mailhost:4500 for receiving mail and mailhost:4510 for sending mail. I've turned on the "Leave messages on server" option, since unchecking that one sucks the mail off of the server and leaves me with no mail the when I'm done. (Sometimes I travel without my laptop and like to use pine.) So when I "empty trash" and "expunge" the messages leave my "Local Folders" but still stay on the server anyway. I've sniffed the connection and watched message downloads, but at no time has Evolution performed a "message delete" operation. Could the fact that evo sees this account as a "local folder" be relevant here? And just to be sure... Mozilla mail works fine in this regard, so it's not the server. (Evo is a better, nicer-looking email client, supports gpg/pgp, and doesn't die when my browser crashes, which is why I'm using it...) Any help here would be appreciated!
