The main problem I see with symlinks is that if message is deleted, it's only the symlink that gets deleted. Anyway I don't see other choices than symlinking or moving the messages.
The failure to delete isn't a problem in this case, as the mail is automatically deleted after a period of time anyway.
People seeing mails remain that they thought they'd deleted might be disconcerting in a usual setup, but for this use I don't imagine it will be a problem.
(Essentially I wish to allow users to browse an archive of the mail which has been reject as SPAM via IMAP. The current storage path makes that a little complex, but I'm hoping I can leave it as-is so that no other part of the system needs to change.)
