Package: kmail Version: 4:3.2.2-2 Severity: wishlist The default setup, where deleted messages are moved to a local trash folder, is quite countrary to the IMAP spirit as it means downloading the message to the local trash folder.
An alternative (which I do in my setup) is to specify a remote trash folder, so that KMail can use IMAP message moving feature without the need to fetch the message. What I'd like to see instead as the default is flagging the messages I delete as "Deleted" using the IMAP flagging mechanism, and then having the deleted messages purged on exit (manually or automatically dependent on the user setup). This is the way it's done in Pine (the reference IMAP client) and, IIRC, in nsmail as well. I hope it is not difficult to implement as the deletion code already uses flagging messages deleted when they're moved away, and purges them when the move is completed, according to what I see in the IMAP intercepts. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.2.2-1 KDE I/O Slaves ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.2-2 KDE core libraries ii ktnef 4:3.2.2-2 KDE TNEF viewer ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-5 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-9 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkcal2 4:3.2.2-2 KDE calendaring library ii libkdenetwork2 4:3.2.2-2 KDE Network library ii libkdepim1 4:3.2.2-2 KDE PIM library ii libksieve0 4:3.2.2-2 KDE mail/news message filtering li ii libmimelib1 4:3.2.2-2 KDE mime library ii libpcre3 4.5-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-6 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0-7 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0-7 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0-7 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0-7 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-3 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
