That's a pretty trivial "bug". It's just an RFE, but I agree; it would be fairly simple to implement. However, I think it's fairly harsh of you to give up on KMail for this. I've used KMail (and now Kontact which embeds KMail) for years and this has never been an issue for me. If I delete a message, it goes in the trashcan. If I purge the trashcan, it's gone; if not, I can get it back. Then again, I almost never delete email (which reminds me that it's time to archive 2004's email :) ). I used KMail for years, then I switched to Evolution with 1.4 and went to Kontact about 1.5 years ago (after Evolution 2.0). During the past year and a half, many of my co-workers and friends have used either Evolution or Kontact. I would have to say, based on the comments and experiences of those people, that those using Kontact have had far fewer problems than those using Evolution. That said, I think Evolution is an excellent program, for the most part. It's just lost the love of developers and maintainers. I don't know what's happening over at Novel with Miguel & friends working on Evolution, but regardless of whatever is going on there, Red Hat, IMHO, needs to have an Evo developer/maintainer on staff. It is far too important a component to have let it get this way. Regardless, I'll be sticking with Kontact for a while. But, I'll try out Evo again from time to time. [snip] -- Lamont R.
