Even if you worry about deletion, I simply do not see how moving to another folder or resetting flags could be interpreted in any way except as applying to the original msg. But I can see the concern: if someone would be surprised by deletion applying to the original msg, that would be bad. So a question: what is practice among other email clients? My primary experience was with pine, in which a delete was a real delete. I was never surprised by this behavior: it made sense. Therefore that remains my expectation. Are there other email clients that do not behave this way? As for how to implement, I think the following would be very reasonable from a user's perspective. Under Miscellaneous in prefs, include an option to have deletion from a virtual folder delete the original msg. (This shd apply equally to moving, resetting flags, etc). Make the default the "safe" one. But I just realized I probably misunderstood you. You were probably saying that allowing this option is not easy, so that what I suggest is not very reasonable from a programmer's perspective.
