I am using the newest Mail (2.0.7), Mac OS X (10.4.6) and SpamSieve
(2.4.3).
I access my mail through POP. SpamSieve moves junk mail to the Spam
folder, from where I delete it (move to Trash, and empty trash (erase
deleted messages in all accounts).
Still I find my junk mails in my account on the mail server, eg when
using mail through the web.
Before, I used Eudora with SpamSieve, and it would delete the junk mail
on the server too (actually immediately on detection).
How do I accomplish that with Mail and SpamSieve?

TIA

Marc

(PS I do want to keep the good mail on the server, at least for some
time.)

I don't think there's a way to do this. Preferences->Accounts->Advanced
has a menu with choices of when to remove messages from the server, but
"When erased on client" is not one of the choices. The closest is "When
moved from Inbox".

A question- why are you using SpamSieve and not the built-in Bayesian
spam filter that is part of Mail?

Perhaps you want an IMAP account rather than a POP account.

It's probably not exactly what you want, but you could use POPmonitor or something equivalent to delete specific mails on the server.

Because it is better at catching spam.

That would work if I had all my mail on the server - this is not what I
do, I just keep recent mail there. But I'll look into that as soon as I
have my own server.

Thanks

That is a pity - but thanks for the answer.
It will be on my wish list for Mail then :-)
