You apparently want that to mean instead "move any message I > delete using the IMP interface, along with messages that I may/many > not know are deleted, and may not even appear in my current view, to > the Trash." But that's not what IMP's option says it is going to do.

IMP's approach is a little more risky for people who use another client: if the other client sets the \Deleted flag but does not use a Trash folder, this means that when they delete a message with IMP, they expunge all those messages without knowing that they have done this. There is a Thunderbird bug which I think is slightly relevant: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220064 -- Tim Bannister Email system administrator IT Services division The University of Manchester w: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/itservices -- IMP mailing list - Join the hunt: http://horde.org/bounties/#imp Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
