I have a question about the namespace section.

> You create only a single namespace. When a message is expunged from mailbox <name>, it's moved to a mailbox <name> in the expunge namespace. When an entire mailbox <name> is deleted, it's also moved to this namespace as <name>. If it already exists, their contents are merged.

First all, that shows two namespace sections. Second, my namespace looks quite different (maybe it’s from older config version, I am not on 2.3 yet). I have a few users with shell access and mail in ~/Maildir but most users are in mysql.

user_query = select 89 as uid, 89 as gid, concat('/usr/local/virtual/', maildir) as home FROM mailbox where username = '%u'


namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  mailbox Archive {
    auto = subscribe
    special_use = \Archive
  }
  prefix = 
}

Am I just adding the new namespace for lazy_expunge inside that? And since the readme also says to put lazy_expunge and all in the mailplugins line, why is this repeated here? Won’t this override the previous setting?

And, finally, is there any way to limit this to only POP3 delete instead of all IMAP?
