I didn't ask what their main reason for this was, but for me it would be: "Oops, I accidentally configured my new email client as POP3 instead of IMAP, and now it deleted everything from my INBOX." With lazy_expunge the user would have to explicitly go and undelete the mails, and it would also undelete those mails that were intentionally deleted. With this feature nothing at all would go wrong on IMAP/webmail side.
Ah, that makes more sense now. We're only using lazy_expunge for POP3 but with a namespace visible to IMAP so a POP3 user can restore a message using webmail/IMAP if needed.
