![]() Our provider gives us limited serverside storage, so keeping it all serverside is not an option. I have no idea how this setup could translate to IMAP without being incredibly awkward to use. Employees keep upwards of 20GB of e-mails in their primary. I could change the protocol to IMAP, but then I'd have to find a way to make Outlook still appear to behave like a POP3 client. I could change the serverside spam handling to 'place spam into Inbox', however I believe that would be the same as just turning serverside spam filtering off, defeating its whole purpose. So how do I remedy this situation without causing too much disruption? I only discovered the issue after peeking into the serverside webmail interface. Adding to the confusion, Outlook performs its own outdated non-bayesian filtering and does place things into the local spam folder, making it look like things are working as intended. This explains why, for years, e-mail from customers would just not show up every now and then. I have just learned that POP3 does not understand folders (only sees Inbox), so junk mail is never downloaded - all of it stays on the server until it is auto-deleted. We use POP3, and the accounts at our e-mail provider are set to move spam to a Junk mail folder. I have identified a misconfiguration in the way e-mail is set up at my workplace. ![]()
