Yes, but selecting all messages and hitting Delete is destructive.

Actually I did. But this didn't help, because user went to Trash mailbox and just cleared the Trash too, because he didn't think that Trash contained all the emails either. He just clicked select all and Delete in the Trash thinking that he is deleting 20 messages. -- Vilius -- IMP mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: imp-unsubscr...@lists.horde.org
