Hello Paul,

thank you very much for your help. I will check that but after a first
look and testing with different settings it does not make a difference.
But I found the deleted messages in the trash folder. Though I more like
to have my message only being marked to be deleted and do an extra
expunge. We'll see.

Regards

Alexander
