I'm not sure what you mean by this. The "Deleted Items" is quite real (as I can access it via other methods on the server. But I do agree with what you say below.

I do agree that this is probably more efficient that having to cache all offline actions. I hadn't considered the fact that Entourage can just do a scan for all messages marked with the Deleted flag and then move those to Deleted Items. Basically one operation. Still, I wish that offline actions could be "recorded" for later "playback." This is keeping me from transferring another of my account to IMAP. -Remo Del Bello -- "A shimmering purple cloud descended over America in 1975, and then, bang, disco happened.
