IMAP messages are DELETE'd but never EXPUNGE'd
January 07, 2011, 04:24:29 am
I note that ezcMailImapTransport::delete() is called, but ezcMailImapTransport::expunge() never is.

This means that when EmailProcessor.php processes a message in the INBOX, and moves it to the 'processed' folder, the original remains in the INBOX (marked as deleted).

Should the EmailProcessor expunge files it deletes?
What are the side-effects? (eg, I assume that folder is only used by EmailProcessor)
How are people handling this? (my INBOX has over 4,000 deleted messages just chewing up space)

Good point, should be expunged IMO.

Piotr, what do you think ?

Thanks for catching this, Ken. We should definitely expunge them (although deleting them seems to have worked for me, at least in the past with Gmail). Filed CRM-7356 to track this.

Thanks, Piotr!

It is possible to run cron jobs that expunge deleted files but I was hoping to avoid that. Gmail seem to move all deleted emails to Trash so perhaps there is no need to expunge in that context.

I fixed that in r31862 to expunge every MAIL_BATCH_SIZE processed (50 by default), which seems like a nice trade-off between doing it too often and being left with unexpunged messages on errors.
