Look at IMP_Message::delete().

|
| I agree.  While I really like the IMP history logging,  I wonder if it is
| more
| than offset by the huge volume of data we will be accumulating, as well as
| the
| fact that a lot of it will be stale/unreferenced (e.g., thousands of students
| come and go each semester, people delete their mail from other clients, etc).
| A configuration option to enable/disable IMP history logging would be (at
| least
| to me) very attractive.

This has been added to CVS.
