why will email programs not delete mail from server

[Airwreck]

Here is the issue. I have used a number of email apps and NONE of them really delete mail from the server. They say it does but nopes. When setting up these apps I tell them it is POP not IMAP. But it doesn't matter. So after a week I have to logon to my server and delete any where between 2000 to 3000 emails. This what happens when one has the same email for 20 years. I get 500 to 600 Spams a day. Currently I am using bluemail.
Any ideas???

Everyone wants to be cute and have codenames or nicknames. Same with Apple, with their various nicknames for MacOS versions.

In the case of Android OS, the names are alphabetical using candy-related words. Each new release starts with the next letter. Currently they are at N, nougat; next will be something starting with O.

If you don't want cute in your tech, you probably won't like most tech these days. The vast majority of websites and apps try to be cute to the Nth degree. The days of the C:\> prompt and utilitarian design are long gone.

Ok, this is an old thread, but still relevant. There is no problem with Windows PC Thunderbird, or any other email client on a PC, where you have a POP3 account and set the incoming server setting to delete messages from the server upon download. BlueMail offers this option, but selecting it does nothing. Mail is always left on the server anyway. This is precisely what the original poster was saying. I should probably post this on the App rating page, and will do so later. I'm just tired of having to go on the server and kill the mail file to start fresh before it fills up.
