Hi all,
I was wondering why my mails vanished as soon as I marked them as deleted, even though I have "show deleted messages" set in my MUA.
The logs show "Expunged 1 messages from user.myuser" as soon as I delete the mail.
Now at first I thought this was some MUA issue but deleting the mail manually in an imap session shows the same behaviour. Let's take this mail "2189" for example:
> . search unseen
> * SEARCH 2189
> . OK Completed (1 msgs in 0.000 secs)
>
> . fetch 2189 (flags)
> * 2189 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen))
> . OK Completed (0.000 sec)
Now I mark it as deleted, which should only set the flag without expunging the mail:
> . store 2189 +flags \deleted
> * 2189 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen))
> . OK Completed
Alas, at this point I already see "imaps: Expunged 1 messages from user.myuser" in the logs. I would have expected this behaviour if "autoexpunge" was set (even though I did not close the index yet), but that's not the case.
The mail is still flagged as \Deleted as the index is still open:
> . fetch 2189 (flags)
> * 2189 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen))
> . OK Completed (0.001 sec)
Once I issue a noop or change the folder forth and back:
> . noop
> * 2189 EXPUNGE
> . OK Completed
(or)
> . select someotherfolder
> * OK [CLOSED] Ok
> . select INBOX
> * OK [CLOSED] Ok
the mail is gone:
> . fetch 2189 (flags)
> . NO No matching messages (0.000 sec)
Why is this? I even tried explicitly setting "autoexpunge: no", which changed nothing.
