Yep, but that’s not what I want for transition. The idea is to expunge after sync, i.e. so the source is empty after every transfer. Right now with mbsync you would have to do this with two passes (with possible race condition), by pulling from the source, pushing new mail into a second tree, deleting messages and/or folders from the pull destination, and then pushing back the deletions. With imapsync all this is unnecessary and it’s just a feature of the one-way sync to also remove source messages and/or folders during transfer.
