[imp] Horde feature request

[Eric Gorr]

Hopefully this is an appropriate place to make a feature request.
(Well, the about for the mail component said imp at lists.horde.org was the
contact.)
(what does IMP stand for? Internet Mail Program or something?)

Clicking on the help link in the mail component, the about said I was using:

  This is Imp H3 (4.0.3).

In any case, since the mail module can show me whether or not I have replied to
a mail message, I am operating under the impression that some meta-data can be
associated with the messages. My feature request relates to some meta-data that
I would like to see.

I would like to see two options added to the Mark As: menu which states:

  Not Deletable
  Deletable

The default setting for a message would be deletable.

If a message was selected and marked as 'Not Deletable', then should that
message be selected again and the delete link pressed, the message would not be
deleted.

Why would I find this feature useful?

Well, I subscribe to many mailing lists and I have filters setup to move various
messages in my INBOX to the folder for each of the mailing lists.

Now, on occasion, I find a message that I would like to keep.

However, 99.9% of the time, I can determine, just from looking at the subjects
that I am not interested in any of the new messages that have arrived.

When, in the same folder, I find that I want to delete all of the new messages
(there may be 40+) and save some of the old ones, I tend to select all and then
unselect those I want to save and then I press the delete link.

When the number messages I want to save in a folder grow large enough, I tend to
create a new folder called <mailinglist>-save.

Now, this whole process could be made far, far easier for me if I could just
mark the messages I want to save as 'Not Deleteable'. In which case, I can do a
select all and press the delete link without removing the messages and I would
have no need to have two folders for nearly every mailing list I subscribe to.
