Re: IMAP: marking messages for deletion
* Nils Vogels [EMAIL PROTECTED] [15/01/01, 01:19:28]: I am using mutt 1.2.5i (or look at the headers of this message:-) with an IMAP server. I have noticed that when I mark messages for deletion the operation only happens locally. There is not delete command sent to the IMAP server. Is there an option to turn this behaviour on? I did not see one. I am not 100% sure, but wouldn't the sync-mailbox (by default bound to '$') take care of that ? It does, at least if I got that question right...

IMAP: marking messages for deletion
I am using mutt 1.2.5i (or look at the headers of this message:-) with an IMAP server. I have noticed that when I mark messages for deletion the operation only happens locally. There is not delete command sent to the IMAP server. Is there an option to turn this behaviour on? I did not see one. If not, will this behaviour be handled by mutt any time soon? Is it a complicated issue to add it? I could be convinced to go hacking myself if it was not a weekend long hack session that was needed to do it. Thanx, b. -- Brian J. Murrell
