I can't seem to get POP3 delete to work.

I download the messages with the following statement.

pop.DownloadMessage(messages.GetKeyAt(i), True)

After all the messages are downloaded I do

pop.Close

When I look at my Gmail account all the messages are still there.

Thanks.

Since most service like gmail & outlook are multi device sync based they might prevent deletion of mails through mobile devices.

I know outlook(.com) has a setting to prevent accidental deletion when setting up a mobile device with the mailbox.

Does anyone know of an email provider that does allow deletions via POP3?

Presumably they must exist otherwise there would be no point in having the facility!

Thanks.

Thanks, you're right there is a setting in Gmail. I've changed it and everything is working now.
