Hi,Thanks for your answer.If I get it right, I must use a "real" trash
folder if my users plan to use ActiveSync. Since our user currently use the
"mark as deleted" flag, do you know any way to "migrate" to the "move to
trash folder" technique? I would have to move message with deleted flag to
the trash folder for all my users. Do you know if such a script already
exist? Or could I create a login hook to fix that?Also, I'm curious to know
the difference between "mark as deleted" and "move to virtual trash folder"
(which were #2 and #3 in my original message).Thanks in advance!Maxime
