i.e. exactly what those of us who manage mail servers end up doing, and the fact that every mail client has a different idea about how to delete stuff, and even what to *call* the Trash folder when they have one (no, they don't all call it Trash) just adds a little more blackness to the greyness of life. Same thing goes for Sent, Junk and so on. > Even nicer would be a client-side option, a la Outlook (and, I think, > Eudora, and probably others...).
