I am not aware about how K-9 is implemented (and even less aware about Outlook™, of course), but generally deleting and expunging messages over IMAP have nothing to do with folders with any magic names like ‘TRASH’. ‘Deleted’ mail is simply flagged as ‘\Deleted’, but is still there (in the current folder) and could be undeleted, while ‘expunged’ means really removed (again, from the current folder). (‘Really removed’ not in a paranoid sense of the word, of course, just that space it occupied may be reused.) This is usual behaviour, but nothing prevents the IMAP server you use to execute your commands in another way. Moreover, it may be configurable on server side. And, as far as remember, Google Mail (about which, I presume, you are talking) _do_ have such settings. They are also well known for breaking old behaviour. So maybe what you described was due to some changes on the server rather than in user-agent? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "K-9 Mail" group.
