Sorry Aki for asking again. I need to run the purge, but I want to make sure some user did not accedentally deleted a large folder.
I decided to keep tests limited for now to the main inbox namespace. But also here weird results.
Status of folders before the test[1], selected 10 messages from INBOX/test2 and shift+deleted them. Then restarted thunderbird (otherwise thunderbird kept showing 211 messages), INBOX/test2 indeed shows 10 fewer messages, now 201, but no deleted messages found INBOX/test2 and weirdly 1 in INBOX??? (result is the same after a force-resync)
If this surpasses public support let me know.
