Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.5.4-2
Severity: wishlist

If I move a message offline, OfflineIMAP deletes it from the
original folder remotely and APPENDs the same message to the new
folder.

Since OfflineIMAP identifies messages with a header, it should be
possible to check on every upload or remote deletion for whether the
same message has been previously remotely deleted or uploaded,
respectively. If such a match is found, OfflineIMAP could instead
move the message using IMAP.

I realise that this either requires a two-pass algorithm (does
offlineimap have that already), or a hack in that it should either
delete uploaded messages before moving, or undelete message before
moving.

Would it be possible to implement proper moving?
