Hello,

I need to have the setup such that email is always deleted from server when
downloaded. I only want to store email in the database.

I have set
<StoreMailsInDb>1</StoreMailsInDb>
and
<AllowUsersChangeEmailSettings>0</AllowUsersChangeE mailSettings>

Is that enough - does webmail pro default to deleting messages from the
mailserver once fetched?

WebMail Pro does not default to deleting messages, and that was done intentionally. If you'd like it to be that way when new account is created, modify initial value for MailMode property of Account object. That would be common/class_account.php file for PHP version, or App_Code/Account.cs for ASP.NET version.

Thanks Igor,

Is it a "not recommended" practice to delete messages from server? Is there added
risk that messages will be lost if there is an error?

I don't think that it's dangerous. If you're using POP3 with "Entire Messages" sync. mode, it's absolutely OK to remove messages from server. But personally, I prefer "delete message from server when it's removed from Trash", just to have a chance to bring message back

Thanks again for a quick reply Igor,

I am in the process of moving a small organization from Exchange and into Webmail
Pro as email solution.

Disk space is an issue as some users have lot of email - so I will make the jump
and have email only stored in database. Besides, email in database is smaller
then stored as "file" on an email server.
