Basically, no.
IMAP has no concept of "moving" mail, only "copying" mail.
Thus, a "move" really is (copy+delete).
I suppose smarts could be put in the IMAPd such that if a message has
just been copied from folder A to folder B and then deleted from folder
A that it won't put it in the Trash folder, but honestly, I think that
quite a few people would find that unintuitive considering past
(expected) behaviors.
Hrm, that's what I was afraid of. For now, my solution is to use 'formail -D' from a cron job to delete duplicate messages in my Trash. If anyone has a better solution, please let me know.
Okay, maybe I'm just dense or something... but could you explain to me what exactly about this situation actually *needs* a solution, from your point of view.
I mean, to me... in my (perhaps limited??) world-view... The extra copy of the message is just a piece of trash. And -- wonder of wonders! -- that's just where it ends up: in the trash.
So, what am I missing that makes this a problem?
