It prevents the deletion of emails that the same login client, on a different box setup for imap, from losing their email corpus. And dovecot doesn't have an individual client config choice that they could enable just for the 3 or 4 of us that use fetchmail or its workalike cousins (getmail?) and keep our own email corpus in tde-kmail. I can and do clean up with a web browser as the webmail interface does let you clean it out. So I do that about daily. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
