[imp] Logging

Would it be possible to add additional logging to Horde/Imp to show  
when a user deletes a message?  We have users claiming that imp "ate  
their mail" and although we have imap records of a deletion occurring  
we have no way to prove whether it was the user being stupid or if  
there's a bug in the system.

Incidentally, it appears there may be a bug... user claims that he  
goes into his trash folder to delete specific messages (rather than  
just hitting "empty trash").  When he does it sits there spinning for  
about a minute... then the user gets frustrated and shuts down the  
browser.  When he comes back, all of his INBOX messages are gone but  
the trash messages he was trying to delete are still there.

I'm in the process of investigating this (I have yet to be able to  
reproduce it) but if I manage to I'll definitely post a bug report.   
REGARDLESS... the additional logging would be VERY handy for  
administration purposes.  Actually what also would be extremely  
helpful is producing a session summary on logout showing number of  
messages read, sent, and deletes by a user in a particular session.   
Granted that might be tough since a lot of users don't log off  
properly but it'd still be a helpful tool if there was a way to do it.
