That's not what I find. (Again I don't have Exchange.)
With POP account/Allow Online Access, and Leave Messages on the Server, I do
see that the local POP copy in a local folder created by a normal Send &
Receive All, OR by dragging it from Online Access server view, _does_ have
the green-wires on-server icon, as you say. But I don't thin k that's a bug:
it's extremely useful for me to know that the message is still on the server
when viewing my local folder. OK, then I can mark it for deletion from the
server EITHER by Delete in the online-access server view, or by clicking
"Delete from Server at next Connection" link in the local folder. In both
cases that puts a red X on the icon. Then Send & Receive All again (or
connecting from Tools/Send & Receive/that account) both removes the message
from the Online Server view AND magically changes the icon in the local
folder copy to a normal read yellow-envelope-with-white-sheet. Which you
said it doesn't. Are you sure you're really looking at the local copy?
Now I can't speak for Exchange accounts, which I don't have. Exchange
features are still so new - and the WebDav access a different type - that it
may not be working right yet.
Check out POP messages again to confirm my steps, or otherwise. Then provide
precise steps for Exchange. Perhaps someone else here with an Exchange
account can try the same.
