Deleting emails after pilerimport

[Former user]

Hi,

I would like the ability to delete emails after importing them from a mailbox (either via POP3 or IMAP using pilerimport).

I tried to use the following, however the mails items are not deleted after a successful import

pilerimport -K <imap server> -u <username> -p <password> -r pilerimport -i <imap server> -u <username> -p <password> -r

The server was built using the latest OVA available for download

Can you please confirm if it is possible to delete mail items using pilerimport, if so, how.

Hello, yes, it's possible to delete an email from the imap or pop3 server after importing. Use the -r command line option.

Hi,

I tried the -r option (as below), however, this does not seem to be working.

pilerimport -K <imap server> -u <username> -p <password> -r

I am pulling emails from an exchange mailbox if this makes any difference.

OK, I setup exchange, and try importing then removing some emails from a pop3 account

I've tested with the latest stable version (1.1.0) against an exchange 2013 server. And by using the -r option removed the emails after processing in case of both pop3 and imap. Check your piler version, if it's 1.1.0, build 884. I suspect that you deployed 0.1.24. And it's my fault that I delayed the ova announcement, sorry.

Thank you for looking into this and apologies for the late reply.

I am currently using 0.1.24. I plan to try the latest ova 1.1.0 over the next 24 hrs and will update again.

OK. If it still won't work, then reopen the issue.
