I would actually allow administrative users to delete messages
(e.g. spam), but such actions should be recorded in logs. Other
users shouldn't be allowed to do that.

I'm  confused Russ.  Isn't that exactly what Alexey recommends, here?

The administrator does not have to use the IMAP interface.  They could use a different interface.


Your previous note specified /who/ should have the capability; this matches what Alexey said.

Your note now refers to /how/ and appears to mean that you believe they should not be allowed to exercise that capability via IMAP.
