I’m new to KMail, and I’m currently experiencing a roadblock with trying to delete messages from the inbox in KMail 6.6.2 (25.12.2) and would like to ask for some help.
The problem is, that Edit ▸ Move to Trash (or Move to Trash from the context menu, or Del ) are disabled for the Inbox folder. Deleting messages is working fine for, e.g., Archive which means, that the trash folder is correctly configured at
Configure ▸ Accounts ▸ Receiving ▸ My Server ▸ Modify ▸ Advanced ▸ Trash folder
as My Server/Inbox/Trash
The folder structure that is displayed in KMail is as
My Server
Inbox
Sent
Trash
Drafts
Archive
Spam
The IMAP server used is dovecot and the namespace is configured as
namespace inbox {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
mailbox Sent {
auto = subscribe
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Spam {
auto = create
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Drafts {
auto = create
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Trash {
auto = create
special_use = \Trash
}
}
