Replying once again to my own message as today I am holiday and therefore
playing with my MailMate settings!
I have
MmAutomaticExpungeBehavior = never;
MmDeleteBehavior = markAsDeleted;
So I can see deleted messages in my current mailbox. But as I have reported
before, if I switch to a different mailbox, then the marked as deleted messages
are expunged, as if I had MmAutomaticExpungeBehavior = mailboxSwitch;
Most perplexing. Ideally I want to control when expunging takes place OR
perhaps I might settle for expunging when I cleanly exit/shut down MailMate. I
suppose I could try MmDeleteBehavior = moveToDeletedMessages; and see what
impact that has on my workflow. Do any of you have this hidden preference set
and can provide comment?
