The portion of the filename after the ':' is a message status structure. In 
that structure, the letter 'T' means that the message has been marked for 
deletion by the user. As a result, most IMAP clients will not show the 
message to the user and an "EXPUNGE" command on the mailbox will delete the 
message.
