Email messages not deleted on server - when blogging via email (5 posts)

    Posts are sent via email and the system picks them up fine, (http://domain.com/wordpress/wp-mail.php) .. PROBLEM is that they are not deleted from the POP email server.

    Because email posts are not deleted ... I am getting duplication every time I run wp-mail.php.

    I am assuming that wp-mail.php will delete the emails that it picks up?? ... it seems to indicate that it does when I run wp-mail.php ... however they are not being deleted.

    Any clues on how I solve this problem?? PLEASE
    Thanks

    i have to say it is extremely frustrating that i just can not find a solution or even any constructive comments about this issue anywhere on this wordpress web site.

    surely i am not the only one who thinks this is an important bug/ error that needs to be discussed and ultimately fixed.

    does anyone anywhere have any idea how to fix this issue?

    thanks

    Just curious, but do you have your mailserver (on your webhost, through your control panel) set to delete emails when they are downloaded?

    Or, does your mailserver require SSL?

    it is set to delete once downloaded - if i connect to the mailbox using my pop3 accout in outlook they are deleted as soon as they are downloaded.
