Heheh - I only submitted the mantis report yesterday after I realised
that -y was undocumented (I was having the same problem - I've been
using dbmail for a while but had forgotten about -y following a new
install). Aaron fixed it very soon after.  I Deliberately didn't mention
it on this list since it goes to dbmail-dev automatically :).

I agree with your sentiment Paul. I think there is already a lot of
"grace" in that alot of IMAP clients would put mail into a "trash"
folder before actually requesting a delete from the server.  Then it
gets flagged as deleted in the DB. Then it gets actually deleted.  Then
to reclaim the space the vacuum (or the equivalent in mysql) happens.

I guess it doesn't really matter a huge deal as long as the manual is in
sync with what's happening in the code.
