I was sending out some emails from my email server and testing them
I'm simply running a postfix email server. I'm doing some email
testing with a project from work. So, I am sending myself emails
using my server.
No matter what I change in the email in terms of content, color,
spelling, etc., none of the changes appear in the email. Rather, an
older copy of the email is displayed with old information. I've
already verified that the new version is being sent out, but the new
version never gets displayed.
It sounds like something cached, but I've removed all temp files from
within IE and used disk cleanup on my windows box, and no-go. Same
effect using Outlook, Webmail, and Yahoo........
And again, I have printed data to a log, so I know the new version of
the email is gonig out.
Ok, still confused.
Treat me like a 4th grader.
You send a mail with text saying 'This is a test.'
You download that mail from the server using Outlook where it says 'This
is a test.' Question 1: Is that a POP connection or an IMAP connection?
You then change something in the email. Question 2: Where are you making
the change? On the original system that sent the message? On the server?
Or are you sending a whole new message?
I mean, let me rephrase your problem as I understand it.
You download a message using Outlook and leave a copy on the server.
You then change the content of the message you downloaded by directly editing
the mail file on the postfix email server.
You are then surprised to not see that change reflected in Outlook.
If that's correct, and it's a pop server, that's 100% by design. POP downloads
messages. It doesn't check to see if a downloaded message has changed.
Not to mention, even if it's IMAP, I don't even see a real-world scenario
where this would ever happen. Existing email messages should never have
their content changed. A new message should be sent. And if it's IMAP,
I'm not sure if Outlook (or any IMAP client, for that matter) would pick
up on a change in the content of a message it has already downloaded.
Now, if this rephrasing isn't correct, please, try to clarify it a little
because nothing you're saying is making any sense. And that whole 'same
effect using Outlook, webmail and Yahoo' really makes less than no sense.
