Hi all,
I've done a bit of searching and haven't seen anybody else coming across this problem yet:
I noticed that Dovecot uses the opposite flags for marking messages as deleted and draft to most other MUAs I've seen or used:
With PINE, mutt and uw-imapd at least, messages are marked with X-Status 'D' for Deleted, and 'T' for drafT. Dovecot reverses this behaviour, using 'D' for Draft, and 'T' for Trashed.
Was there any reason behind this? Or have I gone loopy? At our site, we have users reading mail with a mix of PINE locally, and through dovecot via WebMail and there seems to arise a bit of confusion between the two flags.
Attached is a patch that reverses this behaviour (prepared against 0.99.10 but applies with a little fuzz to cvs). I'd like to hear people's comments on the issue... is it just me? :)
Thanks,
Bernard.

Maildir uses T for Trash, D for Draft. I didn't notice that mbox does it differently.

Thanks, committed to CVS after I removed the maildir changes.
