Thanks.  I just saw your message.  Obviously, I'm having trouble keeping up with
everything.  :-)

Maybe you're trying to fix this even better than I expected.  Apparently (I
haven't reviewed the standards), the IMAP protocol doesn't allow a single
message to be truly deleted; you can only mark a message for deletion or purge
all the previously marked messages.  So, I wasn't expecting that the messages
that are marked for deletion would be preserved.

I reported the bug because of the error message that occurred when deleting the
last message.  It looks like something was getting out of sync since IMP was
reporting incorrect message counts before that point.  Has that been fixed?

Also, although the steps I gave to reproduce this problem involve switching the
trash folder option off and then on again, the problem doesn't require that. 
You can also see the problem by leaving the trash folder option on the whole
time.  Change step 1 to turn on the trash folder option, move the message to
another folder in step 6 rather than deleting it, and then skip step 7.
