Is it possible, in just a few keystrokes or mouse moves, to accidentally delete 100s 
of email messages from your IMAP inbox using evolution?  Or is it possable to mark 
them for deletion without realizing you've done it, so that some subseqent expunge 
really kills them?

I'm using evo to access mail that is stored on an Exchange server via IMAP (not via 
the Ximian plugin for Express).  After about a month of successul use, I experienced 
the sudden deletion of all messages (about a month's worth) in my IMAP INBOX.  During 
an evo session, I clicked on the INBOX in the folder list, and the IMBOX, instead of 
coming up, vanished from the folder list.  A subsequent check of the server through 
it's webmail interface showed "there are no items to show in this view".  Several 
minutes later, a check via webmail began to show new messages arriving, but no old 
messages before the vanising moment were there.

We are looking into the question of whether something could have gone wrong with the 
exchange server, but I want to check to see whether this problem could have been 
caused on the evo end.

Thanks,
Don
