So, "bin" means that IMAP users can sent them to the "trashbin"! I
like that. I understand you mean is that the messages are on the
server, so they can be re-downloaded from there. I don't use IMAP, I'm
just guessing.

POP/plain users can recover many lost messages from those .bin files.
I just wanted to add that the files have a purpose.

POP/OTFE users are out of luck. I have not been able to recover
messages from the encrypted .bin files. Unfortunately, Voyager does
not allow plain, so I have lost messages on my USB stick. No big
problem for me (as long as I'm not travelling when this happens) as it
is only a backup, but those who use OTFE on their main application
should be aware of the danger.
