I would like to have something like "delete from server" action in filters.

It would be useful to remove, for example, emails about SVN commits/ bugreports/ notifications from server side.

OS: Kubuntu 11.10
KDE: 4.8.0
KMail: 4.8.0
E-Mail Account Type: POP3

Hi,

You already have this option available. Just create a filter,
define the pattern you want to search for in your e-mails and
then define the action for the filter by indicating that you
want to *move* the email to a local folder. This will automatically
remove the e-mail from the server.

You may need to configure a local e-mail account in kmail. For
that issue go to the kmail configuration dialog and create a
new Kmail maildir account.

Best,

Luis

Hello,

I have configured filter and as "Filter Actions" added "Move Into Folder" to move mails into "Local Folders/svn". But it just move email from inbox to specified folder.
EMails are still in email-server.

In my opinion actions in filter must be atomic and "Move into folder" shouldn't delete mails from server.
There should be action "delete from server" or "Mark as deleted".
