P.S. Sorry for the late (and many) replies. I've been sick and are now
just getting back into the swing of things.
Cheers, Jason

Hi All,
I run a little hosting company. I use Dovecot 1.0.10* with IMAP
exclusively. Lots of my customers use Outlook or Outlook Express.
This poses a problem. These programs don't and have absolutely no
workarounds to move messages to a trash folder when deleted. They
only mark the message for deletion. Then, users have to purge the
message to actually delete it. Outlook has a way to hide deleted
messages and also auto-purge them when moving to a different folder.
That just doesn't cut it. (Thanks Microsoft! :-p )So, I'm thinking Dovecot could pick up where Microsoft left off.
It seems to me there needs to be two things done. First, a system
that automatically copy a message marked for deletion from one
folder (e.g. INBOX) to a trash folder (e.g. Trash, Deleted Messages,
etc.) Dovecot's lazy_expunge might already do this, but I couldn't
quite discern it from the wiki docs. Second, a way to only do this
when Outlook or Outlook Express is the one who is deleting a message.Possibility? Comments?
Cheers, Jason
P.S. Thanks for the great software!
*Yes, I know. I need to upgrade to Dovecot 1.0.13.
