hi, i am using courier for quite some time but only recently started to 
try using shared folders. the mail server setup is a pure virtual setup 
(no shell access for anyone), i wanted to have a globally shared folder 
for all users, all users use the same (non privileged) uid and gid. so i 
created a directory outside of all user maildirs and followed the 
procedure to create a globally shared mail folder. all i needed was to 
use maildirmake with the appropriate parameters and create a global 
etc/maildirshared file (i did not create an index file or anything 
else). all users use thunderbird and can see the shared folder and copy 
messages from/to the folder.
problem is:  if someone deletes a message (or moves it to another 
directory), the message vanishes from his thunderbird mail client (or is 
moved - so far so good), but the actual file remains on the mail server 
thus creating a increasing number of files in the shared directory "cur" 
directory. is this behavior by design? i.e. how can i avoid this?

any help is appreciated, using courier-0.55.1.20070504,
thanks in advance,
alex
