Please, don't use word “intuitive” when talking about software. I cannot resist (again, I have today all-citation day apparently) but I have to quote a classical note on this (http://groups.google.com\ /group/comp.sys.next.advocacy/msg/7fa8c580900353d0): # Basically, the only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After # that, it's all learned. Usually when somebody talks about intuitivity of software, it means that they are not used to the given behavior. (and Bruce later confirmed by the experience of having a son even nipple as being non-intuitive -- http://groups.google.com/group/comp.editors/msg/882fd4ef853ee770). > Again, its not about a lack of technical understanding, but > just a different view point.

The fact that Microsoft Outlook didn't grok how deleting of IMAP messages should be done, doesn’t mean that everybody has to follow this bad example. Just opposite, I am working as hard as I can to revert other email clients to work correctly vis-a-vis IMAP deleting (see for example https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/190974, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/446417, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/307343).
