Could you please point me to the documentation for specifying a
different form of file locking?  The mutt FAQ and mutt docs at mutt.org
do not appear to contain such information.

I'm using IMAP to access my mail.  I do not know what format the IMAP
server uses to store its messages.

I don't want delete=yes, because I don't want my deleted messages to be
purged, except when I specifcally tell my mail client to purge messages
(that is, I do not want to change to a different mail folder, come back
the original folder, and discover that my deleted messages are gone).

Is it at all possible to purge messages when delete=no?  I tried
binding the keys such that pressing $ will temporarily set delete=yes,
but this seems to be rather tricky.

Thanks for your help!

Paul
