[imp] hide messages marked for deletion or purge deleted messages

[Chris Lafty]

Hi,

I know this has come up on the list before, so I apologize for redundant 
questions, but my question is slightly different as I've accepted that 
you can't hide deleted messages if you use the trash folder. This 
doesn't make sense to me, but oh well.  I am testing the latest imp/dimp 
and I've noticed one difference from the previous version.  It used to 
be when you deleted a message that was already marked for deletion, it 
would expunge/purge all other messages that were marked for deletion.  
This doesn't seem to be the case.   A lot of our clients use Thunderbird 
(IMAP) and of course Thunderbird marks messages for deletion and hides 
them.  When the client logs onto imp/dimp, they see all of their deleted 
messages.  Is there a way we can purge the mailbox if a user deletes a 
message that was marked for deletion?  We'd still like regular messages 
moved to the trash upon deletion, but not marked for deletion.  
Obviously, we don't want this to apply to messages already marked for 
deletion.  If this is not possible with tweaking config files, can 
someone point me to the relevant php files?

relevant settings from imp/config/prefs.php:

// hide deleted
$_prefs['delhide'] = array(
    'value' => 1,
    'locked' => true,
    'shared' => false,
    'type' => 'implicit');

$_prefs['use_trash'] = array(
    'value' => 1,
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => false,
    'type' => 'checkbox',
    'desc' => _("When deleting messages, move them to your Trash folder 
instead of marking them as deleted?"));

Let me know if you need to see other settings.

RHEL 5.2, PHP 5.1, 64 bit, IMAP
