You confusing the issue. You're looking at operation instead of what was
at the core of my point; the user didn't tell it to compact the folders. The
fact that users cannot access the marked mail (uh, but didn't all this start
when someone indeed did access the marked mail, whoops, argument 1 blown
apart) on this particular client at this particular time. The point is that
the user did not request what can be a time consuming operation or may, in
fact, be using multiple clients to access and want that mail out of this
client's view but in the other client's view.

Ayup, got that, thanks for the recap.

Not so. Was there not mention of extensions that do in fact display they
logically marked messages? If not, are you positive such a tool could not be
written? Furthermore when was "through the *current* tool" the litmus test on
what the current tool should or should not do? Just because my MTA logs are
not accessible through the MTA means they should not be created in the first
place? Rotated... ever? Heaven forbid I use less to search my MTA logs and
cron to rotate them.

I ask the same of you. Do you honestly believe user preference extends
only to a single, default installed application?
