I've never paid them a dime to them in my life but I probably have many 
thousands of their devices talking to my imap servers and this issue 
leads to a support burden on our end.  I recognize that their client is 
apparently broken on this point and that asking apple to fix it is 
pointless.  Perhaps ironically, the local apple store knows about this 
problem but views it as "our" problem and not theirs - they only know 
that they get a people in the store on a regular basis asking for help 
because they can't delete their mail on their sonic.net mail accounts.

I was curious if anyone else had come up with a work around for this 
before or if they had tried and failed.  Perhaps a hidden namespace with 
folders linked to the real special folders or might that have unintended 
consequences?
