I can point to SEVERAL locations (~10) in this thread that refer to
"marked as deleted" which is an IMAP-only issue. Can you point to nearly
as many messages where "POP" is mentioned (i counted about 3)? I don't
think so.
Therefore, the interpretation of this thread as a "mark as deleted"
(imap) discussion is far more logical than that of a pop-only
discussion, which has zero relevance to "mark-as-deleted". So there ;)
Actually, all chest-pounding aside, I think it just wasn't clear during
the whole discussion what exactly the issue/problem was. Everyone
assumed that it was what THEY were talking about (including me). The
discussion evolved and became clearer as it went along. Now the issue
remains (for me): *Please don't delete messages in my IMAP inbox that
are marked for deletion when i empty my trash*.
