I agree that it is not good to have an unlimited Trash folder, but to move a message from one folder into Trash should be always possible.
periodic enforced purges of the trash but that wouldn't go down well (At least where I work).
Here as well.
- While moving a message do not touch maildirsize at all at least that one of the folders involved (origin / destination) were Trash.
Given that there is no move in the IMAP specification, Dovecot would have to do a lookahead to find the expunge command after the copy command for all move operations. That would mean that dovecot would have to falsely return success for all copies in order to "see" the next IMAP command. In short I don't think that it is good/desirable behavior because of these problems.
OK, that's a problem.
Hm, one could restrict this to Trash and rollback the action after the user logs out, N commands or something else, unless the original messages had been expunged. How about to have a feature like "try to hardlink when COPY into Trash"?
Bye,
Just a stupid suggestion from a newcomer... Why not introducing a separate quotum for Trash? Could be a percentage of total quota or a predifined amount independent of 'real' quota.
Just my 2 $c
