KMail: how to delete messages from the server when they go to trash?

Hi all.

I've never really used KDE before. After installing Arch I figured I'd give it a shot because of the KDEmod version. (I don't like how KDE forces you to install a lot of stuff you'll never need - the modularity of KDEmod fixes that).

Logically, I decided to try KMail as my mail client. There is a feature in Thunderbird (and in Outlook even), that Evolution and KMail seem to be missing. It is the possibility to delete a message from the server when you move it to trash on your local box. I tried to get that to work with filters but to no avail. (Google failed to offer a solution, too).

Any help would be appreciated.

My program doing that only if emails are organized as mbox file, actually.
You may set the operation automatically after emails download completion.
See my website.

Other option is to set filter in Kmail during the download and you should operate in that moment. But no chance to delete server mails syncronized with your local trash.
