[imp] Re: [dev] Delete & Purge

[Ahmed]

This message is in MIME format.

Personally, I use the trash folder to delete messages that I want to be 
around for the next month or so whereas I use the IMAP delete and purge for 
messages which will only clutter up my quota.

For the ex-MSOutlook of my users I noticed they don't use this facility but 
prefer the deleting to trash and when their quota runs out they empty the 
trash.

Enabling both delete methods was relatively simple to do by adding an extra 
option in imp/config/pref.php and modifying a couple of JS files. I'm 
certainly in favour of making this a standard option.

my 2c's worth.

PS: attached are the patches
    including a patch to enable drafts to be selectively saved as 
    seen or unseen

prefs.php.patch  : imp/config
compose.php.patch: imp/
navbar.inc.patch : imp/template/mailbox
actions.inc.patch: imp/template/mailbox
