Hi,

Is there a way to force the pop3 server to don't allow email clients to use the leave messages on server option ?

I tried to look at the documentation, but I can't find it.

Nope. And you'll never see any POP3 server ever doing anything like that.

Well actually cucipop has the option to do just that. I wouldn't recommend using it as it's a Bad Thing (tm) to do to your users. Imagine the case where someone checks their mail from home but doesn't want to download it until they get into work the next day so that their primary system contains all of their mail. Sabotaging leave mail on server breaks your users ability to do that.

You'd be better off writing a script to check for some amount of mail in your ~user/Maildir/cur directory and sending them email telling them not to leave mail or server. Or use quotas.
