UID Purge?
Hi, I've just migrated to Dovecot from cyrus-imapd, and I notice that when I move emails from one folder to another they appear to be automatically marked deleted (expected) and also purged (not expected). With cyrus, I am used to emails being marked deleted, but still existing until a manual purge (expunge). Is this normal behaviour with Dovecot, and is it configurable? Thanks. Kevin.

Right. But that's what I experienced. The next experiment is sheduled in two weeks... I will keep notes and logs for you.
