Apple IMAP Mail is not deleting emails on the server when deleted on device
Emails deleted on my device (and further deleted from the "trash") are not being removed from the server. (my server is reaching its size limit)

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Your Account>Mailbox Behaviors, what path is Trash Mailbox set to?
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
If you have no POP accounts & they’re all IMAP accounts then in Mail’s Mailbox menu choose Rebuild.
Yes, deleting an email on the webmail removed it from my iMac ( almost instantly) but not from my iPhone. Deleting email from my iMac does still does not remove from the server, deleting emails from my iPhone does not remove them from the server.
thanks!

Ok, now my webmail has dropped to 1965 emails...and my Apple mail is 1965. Activity window seems to indicate that 1 email is "stubble" in copying and 3 are "stuck" in moving.
Deleting emails on web instantly remove them on Apple mail, but removing emails on Apple mail is not removing them on web within a time frame that I can see...
No pop accounts, I will give rebuild a shot.

My inbox is at 25,661 and still loading....ugh
thank you for helping me!

Neither Rebuild nor Safe Mode are resulting in an email being deleted on Apple Mail being removed from the server (RCN.com)
not sure what is wrong....other than I have 27,780 emails on the server....
wait...my phone is set to Delete from server....Never
well that wasn't the problem....changed it to remove from server when removed from inbox...but that didn't work
running out of ideas...
tc
in fact, now my Apple mail is reloading all of the emails from the server into my inbox....its at 11,677
I will wait till its done, and see what happens then when I delete...

In that pic of yours, click on the Deleted Messages, what path does it show above it?
When it's done, in a bowser use WebMail to delete an eMail, does it work in WebMail?
I can't remember, have we deleted the affected IMAP account & set it up again?
No I didn't do that. I will do that, that is what I was going to do next...so here goes!
thank you for the help!
