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.
