Hi to all.
I had a POP account associated to a gmail account on TB 15 installed on Kubuntu Gnu/Linux OS.

Then I decided I wanted that gmail account to be treated as an IMAP account. So, i created a new IMAP account on TB associated to that Gmail address, deactivated the previous POP account and moved all the emails/folders from the pop account to the imap account.

FIRST PROBLEM, TB is downloading back into the IMAP account the same emails that I have been arranging into while I was using the POP account. That causes annoying duplicates.

SECOND PROBLEM, I also see that when removing mails from that IMAP account does not implies updating the gmail server (that is, removing the corresponding mails from the gmail server) but it causes TB to be updated according to the copy on the gmail server. In other words, deleted mails reappears inside the TB folder from where they have been deleted.

Is that behaviour normal?
Thanks for your time.
Regards.
