[Dovecot] Delete to Archive?
Hi,
I recently switched from being a Gmail user to running Dovecot [2.1.10] on my server. Thank you for an easy to use piece of software that solves problems!
I am trying (unsuccessfully) to replicate something from GMail. When I delete a message on my iPhone (or other client), I would like to have it moved to an "All Mail" or Archive folder, instead of actually deleting it.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
James

I believe that would be a function of the client, not the server.
I know in the new iOS you can choose an action now when you swipe a message to move it to a folder or just delete it. The GMail app/Gmail does something similar by default I believe.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge is one possibility.

I guess you can just create an 'Archive' folder (that will be recognized in iOS and Mail.app) and remap your iPhone delete action to 'archive':

Thank you so much! That allows me to do exactly what I want on the client side.

Happy to hear. There is a bit of an inconsistency between Mail.app and iOS mail. In Mail.app you have two distinctive buttons/actions, delete (which deletes the email, or moves it to the trash folder) and archive (which moves it to the folder Archive, if there is a folder named 'Archive').
With iOS there is either or. Either delete the email or archive it.
Would you need to set the Archive folder up to autosubscribe? Can anyone provide an example? Thanks.

Should be pretty straight forward:
namespace inbox { mailbox Archive { special_use = \Archive auto=subscribe } }
