[horde] ActiveSync email vs IMAP email

This (including the wiki) explains a behaviour I had also seen, ie  
that deletions on the AS device seemed to sync up, but deletions on  
imp didn't sync down (ie I hadn't "purged").

If anybody is interested, setting imp to use a trash mailbox seems to  
correctly simulate the behaviour of an Exchange server.  That is to  
say that it causes messages deleted in imp to be deleted (removed)  
from the AS device at the next refresh (according to the rules  
described above).

Cheers,

Tom.
