Normally it shouldn't be moved, i.e. when you apply the filters manually they messages deleted by them are not expunged automatically (so that you could undo the damage). But if another periodic update comes just at that moment, they will indeed be deleted. ESJ> I've also started seeing crashes again.

Apparently I was mistaken... It probably is related to losing connection when it doesn't expect it - although it's still not supopsed to crash in this case, of course.
