Hi Richard, Yes, it's in regard to a POP account. Just checked in my gmail imap account in k9 and Trash does have the facility to move and copy (if synced with server).
I could do with this facility in my POP accounts and I can't imagine it couldn't be supported provided a sync hadn't been enacted since the initial delete. Also, if a file replaced into the inbox after further server syncs couldn't be re-synced back to the POP server, then perhaps an export facility from files in Trash into .msg or .eml file format would be another useful work around. It would certainly be preferable to forwarding in my circumstances, where sorting wheat from lots of chaff through the day results in some inevitable mistaken deletes. I get IMAP has some advantages over POP, but for the most part, and in particular for sorting large volumes of often "not quite spam, but almost" business email, I find POP a far more efficient management and client-side archiving protocol than IMAP.
