Description CoudCoud 2008-07-18 10:43:16 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I configured Evolution on many computers, for different persons.
Every time I configured a POP3 account , I checked the "keep mails on server" and "delete after 7 days" options.
The mail providers are : free.fr, yahoo.fr and altern.org.
But every time, evolution doesn't delete the mails on the server after the specified time.
What can be done ?

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a POP3 account on evolution
2. Check the "keep mails on server" and "delete after 7 days" options
3. Wait 7 days : nothing has been deleted


Actual results:
Nothing

Expected results:
Old mails are deleted on the POP3 server after the specified time

Does this happen every time?
Yes
