It'll be in the next version, but it still logs the messages saved by  
the client. You could write your own rawlogger as well which parses  
the IMAP traffic and logs only the wanted lines. I thought about  
implementing something similar to this, but it gets a bit too complex.

Another way would be to write a plugin which catches all deletions  
and logs them.
